[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You have to own your part in this.  What have you done to take the friendship to a more meaningful level?  Have you opened up to these women about your own personal concerns/worries/insecurities or do you keep your social mask firmly in place at all times?  Have you ever been there for them in a crisis or a difficult time?  If someone casually mentions a problem they have, do you offer meaningful assistance and follow through?  I have made a number of good friends over the years living here, but it is the result of time, shared experiences, and me having extended myself.  Intimacy is a hallmark of deep friendships.  It requires trust and a track record.  Unless you've REALLY put yourself out there you have only yourself to blame.[/quote]

Everything you say is true, BUT...it sounds like nobody has yet reached out to the OP, either.  Or maybe she's missing the signals?   I mean, if nobody ever confides in you or shared a crisis with you, are you going to feel comfortable making the first move?  [/quote]
