How do you make friends? Do you randomly talk to anyone, or are you selective?

I ended up making 2 new friends in one week. Looks mean nothing to me. I'll talk to anyone who wants to talk to me. (As long as they aren't pestering me, like some people do) The day I registered at the college, I was at the bus stop waiting for my bus. It was very windy out so I walked to the sheltered bus benches. I saw a woman there sitting on the bench with her feet on the bench. I know from being an anime lover, that people whom follow anime and have seen Naruto, sit like that. So I said, "Hi, and when is the 11 bus coming?" She said in 10 minutes and then I asked her what year she was in? We hit it off from there. I only got her first name and that she's a Sophomore majoring in accounting to work for the IRS. Then I saw my bus sitting there. I forgot to tell her my last name. I almost missed my bus and I had no time to give her my number. I will try and find her in the Fall. I want a friend going in as a new student. The other friend I made is a 35-year-old nice woman living at my center. She has a deformity on one of her legs and walks with a cane. Her maturity level is age appropriate. This whole week we've been hanging out when I'm not at work. Tonight we will watch a movie and eat popcorn. We both go to the gym too. She does the water aerobics and I workout. Life is going good at work and at home. I end up making friends in the oddest places. These two places weren't odd though. I'm not a judgemental person and I'm not selective. Except one guy at my place friended me on FB the 2nd day I moved in. I deleted it and told the kid girl (the immature one I'm ignoring) here not tell residents to friend me. He threw a fit and tattled. They told him I don't have to have anyone on my FB from here. I said I didn't want him on my FB. No one I live with is on there. I was very assertive with his immature reaction and I told him to back off! He doesn't speak to me now. He is very immature for a 20-something-year-old. That is when I do have to be selective. How do you make friends?

My definition of "Friends" is a pretty powerful rubric that includes someone you can share any and all informaiton and trust with all you value. By this standard, I have few freinds and they were established years ago when I was young.

Then there are those I treat politely and am treated as a "freind?" we share stories and if needed, rides and tools. These are usually work based relationships establishments initiated by a common need to (insert need here).

The third category is those I meet at the YMCA (as an active Anti-theist I occasionally encounter a few that do not base their lives on believing in a supernatural sky-daddy). Ocasionally those and those I work in the with will participate in a movie night in my home (basement) theater that seats 21 comfortably. I generally do not consider the following two instances (friend) classificaton as they do not meet the criteria of the first rubric.

The YMCA sounds like a good place to make friends.

I am a friendly person, I am certianly polite. I have been blessed with wonderful friends. I think it's the ablity to both give and take. My friends are catalists for my growth and I respect the way they think and admire their talents. I do randomly talk and am selective both. It depends on where I am at at that moment both internally and externally.

Cool.

I keep very few friends...I like animals better than humans

Me too.

Far more random than they chose me, I think. I find it very telling how reserved someone is, and feel drawn to those less guarded. Suppose we all do, but I’ll definitely speak, often first, to someone new.

I prefer not to have to many friends. I do enjoy talking to strangers once in awhile. When I’m in the mood. And only if the stranger interesting. I’m better with people who have common interests

I don't have very many friends.

I would like to read your post, but it is a long rambling single paragrahp. Form your paragraphs around a single theme and link all senstences directly. Form a new paragraph for each new chain of thought. If you do that, your writing will improve, as will your own clarity of thought.

Sorry, I'm just really stupid is all.

@Sarahroo29 No, you are not. Just make a conscious effort to improve your writing.

@Sarahroo29 Walt’s right (twice), and I appreciate people willing to say the hard stuff.. as I’m finding that more difficult with age. I like this, “Form a new paragraph for each new chain of thought.” And this, “No, you are not.”

@wordywalt I've already stated I have ADHD and bounce from topic to topic.
