[quote=Anonymous]Making friends is easy when you are young. It is hard to maintain them and gets increasingly hard to meet people and become friends as you age, simply due to loss of opportunity.

I am not the most amazing person at making friends, but I still have a mix of long-time and more recent friends. Because I struggle sometimes with making new friends, my friends tend to be very gregarious people who can help bridge that gap. But the nice thing about our friendships is that while they tend to be better at stuff like reaching out more and making plans, I am good at the stuff that helps keep people invested in one another’s lives. I am good at making meaningful conversation (not just about the news or whatever but about people’s lives and the stuff that really matters). I’m also pretty generous and thoughtful, the sort of friend who will realize that you may be struggling and drop of some fresh baked bread as a pick-you-up.

I have learned as I’ve gotten older that I need to be somewhat discerning with making friends. I’ve had some close friends who turned out to be very harmful, and I regret get close to them. I’ve learned to pay attention to how people treat me and not write off certain behavior fir the sake of the friendship. Friends who consistently belittle, ignore, or dismiss you are not worthwhile to keep around.[/quote]
