Do you find it's harder or easier for you to click with other people as you get older? How easily do you make friends now as opposed to years ago? What do you think of the quality of friendships at this point in your life as opposed to others? Can you even distinguish between the quality?
I'm just curious what other people would say because it seems that I have a more difficult time making friendships with people as opposed to just a few years ago.
I'm not really sure how to explain it, but personally I seem to be withdrawing more and more inward... despite co-workers and acquaintances making an effort to spend time with me and get to know me.. like the idea of going and sitting in someone's house I barely know and having dinner and chatting kind of frightens me no matter how much I like the person and want to be friends with them--the idea of starting over with a new person seems very difficult.. I'm sure I'm just being neurotic. I don't know what my problem is.. It may have something to do with just recently going through a phase in which a few close old high school friends and I drifted apart, despite my efforts to maintain the closeness..
I guess what I'm looking for is just your own experiences and advice if you have any..Because I think friendships are extremely important relationships to have, and I don't want to miss out because I have some sort of weird fear of friendship rejection!
