Would You Like To Be My Friend?: The Main Reason Why Children Can Be Friends With Anyone
Making friends as an adult is difficult and don’t even get me started talking about loneliness because I know the feeling all too well.
Too many times, I’ve asked myself the same questions over and over.
Why is it hard to make friends?
Am I doing something wrong?
Do I smell bad?
Is it my personality? The way I look?
Am I too selective?
Seriously, what is it?
To make friends, I’ve tried several things. I’ve created my own Meet-Up group, invited strangers to meet up, tried out Bumble BFF, and even asked a Starbucks barista if they wanted to hang out with me. Maybe I was desperate…no, I was.
And with the track record I have now, or lack of a track record, I am just about ready to throw my hands up in the air and wave them like I just don’t care.
But I care. I actually want to have friends. Not just acquaintances, but close friends.
But why can’t I?
