Real talk

I have “friends” in real life but I don’t see them anywhere else other than school I would say my 4 best friends are the best I ever had and I met them online in games and stuff.

Yeah buut I only have 2 real life friends dont see them in person rarely an never hang out anymore like we did at school they're busy with their own life things so guess we are split up really sucks.. =~= but im content with online friends its pretty easy making those since im really more shy in person i mean very !! ^^; Im happy with what I have

I have no problem to be friend with people for short terms but I guess thats because all I know is gaming so I cant keep up with people living 'in real life', never found any people worth keeping around the only person I got along on long term is another otaku gamer been friend and gaming together for like 5 years maybe more How do I cope with it well its more normal for me to be in front of my computer than to go out with people I dont really have any social needs so I guess im pretty lucky, though I think friend are like finding the significant other, settle down in a corner, observe and wait for the good one(s)

Too cautious to make "new friends". Get in, Do what i need to do and get out. Interaction is not a bad thing for me for that i'll always be me and not put on a weird persona.

Hmm. I don't have anyone that I hang out with outside of work. Too many people I know just wanna party and get drunk and that's not my thing. I don't usually get invited to go anywhere which is fine by me. I think that it's because I don't do "wild stuff" Oh well. I've always been the type to stay by myself anyway.

For me, it's the case of I'm more afraid of bothering people then trying to make friends, I can talk to any stranger and ask them how their day went, but once we become friends, I'm just afraid that if they don't strike up the first conversation, I'll keep continuously thinking that they either don't want to talk to me or they're having some sort of problem. This site is one of those cases, another example would be facebook, I see people talking to each other and posting on each other wall, I on the other hand have to just watch like a bystander. I'm guessing that that classified me as an introvert, but can you blame me?

For whatever reason, in recent years, yeah. I feel like I could have done a better job to being friends with people I don't really talk to any more as well as opening up to some new people as well. I feel I'm pretty laidback and approachable for the most part, but I'm terrible when it comes to small talk. I was a complete wallflower back in grade school and have slowly worked my way against that tendency as I've gotten into my 20's and 30's. I work retail, so my job requires me to talk to people which really doesn't bother me. It's when I'm trying to get to know someone on a more personal level when I tend to clam up and am not as out-going as I could be.
