[quote=Anonymous]I feel like I'm a good friend and absolutely show up for other people, reach out and initiate plans, put in the work. I still don't have any close female friends. Many friends, just no one that close. What I've found is that people don't really reciprocate when I do these things. Often people already have close friends from childhood or college and simply are not looking for another close female friend. Other times I think people want close friends, but just not with me for whatever reason. I still maintain these friendships but at a certain point you recognize that the other person is not interested in a closer friendship and you settle into something more casual.

I don't think the absence of these close friendships is due to lack of effort. I think it's about timing and luck. I think to get close people need the right amount of stuff in common, but also to not be in direct competition for things, and then enough time and interest to help it blossom. It's not a personal failing.[/quote]
