Why is it easier for some to make friends vs others?

I've never personally been able to make friends easily. Im too opinionated.

I can sympathise with you.

Being soft spoken , introvert and having different thoughts to most people meant that I was different.

It has been a struggle to find quality , good friends online and offline.

@scorpiolovedeep yes.. this!
I’ve always struggled with making friends.

I’m hyper independent now lol now I don’t want people around cause they’ll probably disappoint me.

As a kid I always wondered why I was always alone tho. Now I prefer it

@Pressure same, whenever i spend too much time with someone i start pushing them away. But that lonely feeling kinda sucks.

I think if you were raised in a good environment then you are more open to people. But if you were raised in a bad environment then it's hard to trust people.

@Lostpoet yeah. That makes sense. I also do find myself not asking questions that kthers typically do. Not sure why, but it makes me come off as not curious and/or disinterested when in reality thats not the case.

May I add a bit of age old wisdom. To have good friends, one, must be one! 😉

@Oster1 what makes a good friend? 🤔

@SW-User Everything, that you would enjoy, from another! 🙂

Most people are far more trusting of others than me. I've learnt that I can't trust anyone else based on my childhood and failed adult relationships. I'm of the view that no women will ever view a man as an equal in a relationship, and I don't see any need to have friends like women do.

I'm the worst at making friends

@SW-User sounds like we'll do great at not being friends 🙂

Some people are too neurotic and self centred

@Lilnonames sounds like your definition of friends is looser than mine.
