- How do one find new friends?
- written by Knyttet
-
-
- I have been trying to find new friends by the
- way I know best, writing. It sounded like a
- good idea when I started but when I had thrown
- away all the drafts and the bin was starting to
- get full I realized that it wasn't so easy.
- How much of yourself do you want to leave out
- to a stranger? How will you feel if you don't
- get any replies? And what if the reply you get
- is from someone who sound like a total madman?
-
- I have always been a bit selective about my
- friends. Maybe that's why I don't have that
- many. But I prefer to be lonely than to be
- surrounded by total idiots. There are always
- books if life gets too boring.
- Well, back to the friends business. It was so
- much easier when you were in school. You met
- people more naturally. Now you meet people
- where you work but sometimes you need someone
- to talk to that does not talk about your job.
- Or to gossip about how it is where you work
- (it's a myth that this is an urge that women
- have).
-
- The thing I hate most about getting new friends
- is that it takes so much time to really get to
- know someone, to start to trust someone so you
- can tell/show them who you really are. And
- maybe they can't take that, maybe they don't
- like what you really are at all and run away.
- Then you have to start all over again.
-
- I think it's more complicated to find new
- friends than new lovers. When you start to love
- someone (get attracted to someone) then it's
- not necessary the things you have in common
- that's important, it's more a feeling.
- Attraction.
-
- But with new friends you mostly start out with
- something you both have in common, some kind of
- mutual interest. And if you are unlucky after
- awhile you will find out that this was the only
- thing you had in common. If you are falling in
- love with someone you don't have to have
- something in common, except for the attraction
- but with friends you got to have some things to
- talk about. It isn't enough sitting on the
- couch holding hands and looking in each others
- eyes.
-
- Maybe I'm too "choosy," but that's the way I am.
