"Be friendly, smile a lot and talk to people in order to make friends"??? what's the use??? i've been hurt a lot.the more friendly i try to be with people,the more mean,stuck up,etc they are! i like being nice,but lately i've been confused and askin myself if being a nice person is only making a foolish person out of me

LIES!! for some reason it's the ones that always gossip about others and judge others that are the most popular ones. I don't understand it. Some one needs to explain this to me >:(

I thought I was doing all those things she said. Yet, after spending time with a new person whom I wish to befriend, I never hear from her again. I've never known how to make friends, since childhood. I really don't know what the problem is. I'm kind, friendly. People seem to like me, but then no one wants to keep in touch. It's gotten so old I think that this is just one of my life's gaps that will always remain.

Honest person? If I was completely honest, I'd get punched in the face everyday.

@Rosebunse I understand what you're saying(:

@Fpockets I used to have that same issue. I just started taking showers every day and putting on deodorant. + not wearing dirty clothes helps lol. I was actually at work and I got in trouble for stinking too much. That did it for me. You really have to improve on yourself in order to get where you want to go. Don't be fake, just get to a point where you are comfortable with the way you dress, smell, act, etc... My problem is staying the course but you might be better at that than I am.

@Fpockets You must put on a really good show. I don't know, if I were you, I would just try and enjoy it as much as you can. Then, when you need some time alone, tell them that you need a bathroom break or something. But it's hard to try and balance all that. I just think of socialization like eating, you have to do it sometimes or else not everything will work for you.

@Fpockets Seriously? Good for you! Just look like a lawyer all the time and you're set :) Wait, that may be part of the reason LOL

@Rosebunse i noticed people leave me alone when i am clean shaven and showered..when i am looking frumpy...people want to get in my personal space. maybe they like my pheromones!!!!
