wow–ask me this a month ago, and i wouldn’t have said this, but all of a sudden, i’ve realized that not only do i *have* friends, people who care about me and who i like spending time with, and really love, but that i can make friends pretty easily.
for me, it was a matter of being able to get myself to be open and vulnerable. it turns out that people thought i wasn’t interested in friendship because i wasn’t letting myself seem like i had any problems or something. and once i was open about stuff, even when i was being nowhere near perfect, the friendships felt like they came rushing in. it’s felt great!
