Hi emoangel,

I understand your worries. I feel that we go through periods of our lives when friends are easier to make, and other times when it's harder.

Like everything else, if we worry too much about it, then it seems to get worse. I would recommend keeping in touch with your friends in a relaxed way, and see how things go. Also I would find some time for a social activity to bring me in touch with some new people.

Finally, I would accept that some times we have a quiet time in our lives, and it can be OK for that to happen.

Happiness always comes from inside ourselves, it is not in other people's hands. If we are happy and secure in ourselves, others will always be attracted to us; if we are worried and anxious, they might tend tend to stand back. IMHO only the most mature and strong friends can see us through really hard times, most people fall somewhere in between.

Good thoughts, and stay with us!
