I am not having trouble finding people to talk to, or potential friends. It just seems like I can never connect with people on the level it takes to make a friend. The last time I went to a playgroup with my daughter I felt completely uncomfortable with the other moms. I felt out of place and like we had absolutely nothing to talk about other than our kids.
I didn't have this problem when I was younger, or if I did, didn't notice it because I had plenty of people around. In some ways I think the problem might be that I can come across as being less-than-empathetic to people. No matter what I'm feeling, I tend to try to stay calm and keep my wits about me in daily life. Perhaps that makes me unfriendly in some way.
What do you all think?

This sounds so faimalur to me except im the one who moved away from my old best friend but also feel the same way about making new friends its difficult for me to do so also its hard for me to open up to people becuase the fact i've been hurt to much and betrayed by people most close to me so its hard to trust what im saying is it might be that your not letting anyone in becuase you just simple dontt trust alot of people its not that your to calm or unwanted you just shy people away by not trusting them which this may not be the same for you but just relax a lil bit dont be so tense and try to open up a lil you dont have to tell them your whole life story but try to trust someone and online is a good way to make friends may not be realisict but its someone to talk to.....
