As the other topic that the Captain made is more For fun I decided to make another post so we can discuss how to make friends in a more serious manner. As I stated in the other topic, I believe that interaction is the keystone to creating new friendships, as for actually meeting new people I actually never had any problem with this because I usually get to know others because of either work relationship or because they are friends with my friends. Another topic that would be interesting to talk about is about friendships online, but I donīt want to get ahead of myself. |

Same as me. You meet other people, and then you start developing friendships with those you have more affinity with, and if you develop your friendship too much, you end up having a happy ending together, like in Fire Emblem

I donīt want to make it sound easy, because I did have a phase where I would find it incredibly hard to feel comfortable around other people, for a few years I got really anxious because I tried to "fit in" with others and tried to hide who I really was. (I have always been a big nerd). Luckily for me, back in the last three years of highschool (I was 15 years old) I met with a few friends that made me realize that I was not alone, and that other people really donīt care. Once I started to get confident I realized that itīs actually really easy on this age to get to know people who shares my interests or at least have a basic idea; I may not be able to talk Golden Sun or IV training Pokemon or sciency jokes with most people but I can talk about the Avengers and Breaking Bad and other shared interest. TL:DR You donīt have to share 100% of interest with another human being to start a friendship, just find some interest that you share. |

I'm very easy going about friend making, if we meet and both enjoy each other and even barely plan on meeting again I probably consider you a friend. |

If you are not too picky and you are not rude then it's not too hard to make acquaintance-level friends. Close friends are another story, for me it's been mostly chance meetings and lots of time spent together. |

A think a lot of it has to do with proximity of like-minded people. I don't really have friends offline, and it's mainly because I live near nobody who shares my interests, nor do I work with anyone like that. Heck, I'm the only person who likes pop/nerd culture at work, let alone gaming. It doesn't help that both of the nearby bars are sports bars, either. I had friends in school even though I was the go-to person to pick on, and all my little brother's friends I really like, so I think proximity has a lot to do with it. Unless we count online friends - those are much easier to get. Edited by WitchRolina, May 21 2015, 02:24 AM.

Proximity has been key for me, too. I mean, I'm not like-minded with most people I call my friends. |

I actually find it harder to make online friends nowadays, but I might be cheating a bit by reading body language and having training to listen and make other people feel comfortable... (or it might just be that Iīm adorable :P) But online I tend to find it hard to be spontaneous because I tend to overthink what Iīm going to say and to measure the effect each phrase would have and that limits my online friend making abilities |

I don't have any friends exactly, only people I enjoy the company of whenever I see them. (That's just one person right now) I'd consider people to be friends when I see them as often as I did my three friends I had all the way through school. |
WHY ARE WE STILL HERE... ...JUST TO SUFFER?!

I understand that, however seeing friends frecuently gets harder the older you get, my group of friends and I get together like once a month whenever we are lucky to have time off, and I see my friends from highschool like twice or thrice a year, however each time we get together it feels like if no time has passed between our last meeting |
