I have learned in my 50 years of living that there are dry spells in friendships. I have had several and I am going through another right now. I take this time to look at myself and evaluate what I offer to another and what I would like to get in return. Right now, I am looking for people who have similar interests as mine, who are fun and want to explore the world, I am looking for people who desire to grow in their lives. I have joined groups, taken classes, and make myself available.

I truly believe in being exactly who you are, changing yourself won't bring the right kind of friends into your life. Just continue being who you are, smile because YOU want too, learn to be less forthright in your opinions to new people and allow yourself to be more honest with those who know you better. Friendship is about sharing who you are with people but only in doses that the other can handle. Try to find a bigger group of people to interact with so that you can broaden the possibilities.

When you make mistakes see them as learning moments and don't let others keep you from working towards getting your friends. Keep on going!

Lastly, learn to be your own best friend first. Treat yourself as the best friend you are seeking. The BFF will follow.
