Friends, most of us all have them. Do you have friends? What is your method in making friends? Would you say you have more online or IRL friends? The topic all about friends is here! Ex-friends go in the other topic though. I don't really have friends; at least not IRL. I have lot's of online friends, and I am thankful that I have been able to meet great people! But in real life... I don't really have any... It's pretty pathetic and sad...I'm so shy and quiet, that no one really becomes my friend. I've had some friends in my life, but they would all fade away once I went to another school, a different grade or another job. I've never really had friends that stuck around... |

I have a few friends IRL, but most of mine are online. At least, the ones I have regular contact with are. |

Most of my school friends live elsewhere so i don't see them any more,i how ever chat with those who are on facebook. The friends i have on line are either on facebook or a forum like this. I know what you mean Hotspot about being shy and quiet that's me through out my school years,i was just lucky that people came up to talk to me back then and became my friends,before that i was pretty much a loner. |

Most the people I keep, "Regular contact with" I know online, however, I have friends offline too. I would say I have a great many friends, BUT, the one's I consider "close" friends are few but are all lovely amazing people! Methods for keeping friends, that one is a tough one. Keeping friends requires effort from both parties. I basically just talk to them, or send them a message whenever I can. I try to make the messages more than just "How are ya" and I keep notes in my head about things they like. I also find being honest and open about yourself helps. I find if someone doesn't like you for who you are, what kind of friend is that?? Meeting friends. Honestly this is hard, because, like HS and Naiwen there, I'm shy and find it hard to talk to people. I have IRL friends though, these are small in number but they are all great people who I am very very close too. My Online friends are high in number, because online I'm more open about myself. Some suggestions I have though: Talk about what YOU like, and see if they react in a positive way. You actually have to get out to meet people, so find places like Gyms, Arcades or even just a coffee shop, I met one of my good friends at a coffee shop! I won't suggest a tavern here, since drunk people are not the best company IMO. Friends are great though, and for those who don't have any reading this, I'm totally open to being one for you. OH! And one REALLY big thing I suggest to everyone, honesty is your best friend making tool. Do not lie about who you are, what you like, don't try to impress people. BE YOURSELF. I KNOW that sounds corny, and unlikely, but it's true. I've made more friends (and kept them) this way than any other tactics. If someone doesn't except something about you, thats sometimes ok. If someone doesn't except you for WHO YOU ARE, they are not truly your friend. (And you of course, have to also accept them! Afterall, you cannot expect people to accpet your ideals if you don't give a tard about theirs) (Plus if you lie ONE DAY they will find out the truth!!!) Edited by Chaco, Nov 26 2012, 09:57 AM.

I learned about keeping friends the hard way, as after college all of my friends just disappeared. Except for the ones that stayed in contact with me; the whole time I just didn't want to bother anyone and be a pest. But, I realize now that you do have to extend your hand, and if they don't respond back, then they are just "there" as your friend but probably not really interested in being your friend, maybe if just an acquaintance. |

Taverns tend to have a mix of good and bad folks,the ones who look for trouble are the ones you need to avoid. Some folks who usually don't say what's on their mind unless they have drinks in them,earning it the term liquid courage(a term used for alcohol),and some folks just lose their senses while drinking and do stuff they normally wouldn't do while sober. You can also make friends at your place of employment,generally if your kind and friendly to people they will return that back to you each time they return to your place of work. Respect shown will generally be shown back to you. Wow how about that, shyness seems to be a common thing we share Chaco,Hotspot,and Naiwen,i too am more at ease and open on line then in real life. |

I have a lot of rl friends & most I know irl are either on facebook or on my forum. I also have made a lot of friends on forums because I'm usually pretty active on them. Being truthful also goes both ways in keeping & making friends. Something else that helps is constant communication between people who are friends. Some times when friends are close & don't talk as often as they may like; some times things get misconstrued between what one person says versus what some one else may have told the other person. So in a way having a friend & keeping one comes down to communication & TRUTH in that communication. Though one person may see what another said as false, or untruth when it comes down to it if you were to look at the facts of what may have misconstrued as false hood; underneath you will always find the truth. ;3 Any who I'm pretty lucky having such close & good friends who I know I can count on when I need some one's ear to bend when I get upset or need some one to go to that I can tell my troubles too with out feeling that I'm not being judged because they love me as I am & for that I'm thankful for knowing Hotspot, Etna, Namine, Yami Yugi, Flik, & jing for so long. ^^ Edited by Queen Pikachu, Nov 27 2012, 04:01 PM.
