[QUOTE="totoro, post: 281177, member: 3155"] Yes. LOL I want a close friendship. But i want it to be comfortable. I don't mind putting the work into it. Or at least I wouldn't, If it felt natural in the beginning. Know what I mean?? I have always felt like an outsider, unless I was using. husband has so many friends. He is naturally drawn to people and they to him. He is comfortable with people. I can also "make" conversation and play the part. We have neighbor down the street and when we first met she offered car pool, but in a demanding way. It turned into us doing the driving. Then every rime I saw her at School she would "talk" to me only if no one else that she knew was around, then just walk away when she saw someone she knew. She would always make comments like, "I never see you around" "Where have you been hiding". But in front of others in a rude way... These are things I could never say nor do to another. Of course my mother in law questioned why I didn't try to make friends with her? mother in law is over the top friends with every one. I try for every ones sake to make a connection, but it always seems phoney or forced. Just like you say Steeley. I too can sit and watch the birds or go for a hike... I have one very close friend in Idaho. But at times having no family makes it feel lonely. [/QUOTE]
