Am I the only one who finds it hard to make friends as an adult? If women are the more talkative, cerebral types, why does it seem so hard for us to make friends in adulthood? Is it fear of rejection? Possible negative judgement? How do you even go about cultivating a friendship?
I have no flippin' idea.
So, I'm sitting here watching the Sex & the City Movie. (It's on basic cable so you know all the fun parts have been edited out!) Anyway... I look at the friendships of those women & wonder if that type of closeness actually exists. I don't have any examples of that in my life & I wonder why that is...
Have I isolated myself against the outside world so much so in favor of my family that I've forgotten how to make a new & perhaps ever lasting friendship?
I have maybe one close friend. She saw me at my darkest times & helped me celebrate my best times. I can call or text her out of the blue and it's like we talk everyday. But she's the only one.
Do I feel subconsciously that I don't have time for shallow friendships so I figure, why bother? But then how can the friendship evolve into anything deeper if I don't put myself out there?
If anyone has any suggestions... I'm open to whatever you got!
