Do you ever feel likes it hard to connect with people?

I feel like deep down I’m a people person that likes making new friends. But on the outside I just feel numb. Like I want to take to time to reach out to people and be friendly but I just... don’t
. I mean I have friends but it feels like I haven’t made any new ones in a while ya know.

Don't. You'll end up running into a mob of "know it alls" who attempt to crush all your current relationships (((because they're not good enough for you))) and expect you to meet new friends in a jiffy! Oh, the new friends have to meet certain requirements, or they'll be thrown out, too. Good luck meeting people who an entire group of smartasses think they can judge better than you. Hell...good luck dealing with any know-it-all fools who think they know what's best for you. Most of them don't even know themselves, but they'll claim you're defective and projecting constantly. They'll never understand your motives. They'll never understand you. But, they know what's best for you! They'll flip everything around and make it about you. They can't fathom the idea you might actually analyze better than them. They will probably treat you as if you're stupid.

Good luck.

@perceptivei thanks yeah

@perceptivei Yeah I can see your point I appreciate advice but you still got be able to tell the difference between some who actually want a top five good advice and help (such as yourself) and someone who just likes hearing themselves talk

@RedRogue I'm neither. I'm a paranoid individual who tends to think most posts here are directed towards myself... it has nothing to do with advice.

@perceptivei well you are self aware enough to realize that about yourself. Some people that think that way sound even realize it about themselves.

@RedRogue In the end, it doesn't matter what we think about ourselves. We might know something is true all day long, but if others don't believe it, they'll think you're nuts.

@perceptivei that’s an interesting take usually I hear people say the opposite.

@RedRogue Opinions matter. Reputation matters. Friends matter. Love matters. Who ever tells you different isn't very experienced. Life isn't worth living if you don't have what matters to you most. In the end, most people don't want to be completely alone.
@perceptivei I agree to a certain degree about opinion, however, for sure reputation/credibility, friends (true/real)not fake only with you in good times matters, both love and respect matter.

@aaaabbbb It all matters in the end. People are followers for the most part.
