I'm trying to make friends and I don't know how. I've tried posting and I sound stupid. What do I do? If I sound stupid online I must sound super stupid in real life. I'm not going out. Be my friend...? I started a blog/journal. It's called Inside Out. I figure if I'm not strong enough to post maybe I can put it in a journal and let it be.

I would be happy to be your friend. There a couple ways to be-friend members here - you can click on their name and the option 'add ------ to your contacts' come up or you can visit their profile and add them that way. We're easy going here and you don't have to be a wizard at writing. I'll take a look at your journal.

It really is a matter of being yourself and allowing others to decide if who you are meshes with and complements who they are. I'm not friends with everyone and wouldn't expect to be, any more than I think I should be attractive as friend material to all other people. I found your post eloquent enough. If someone is too eloquent I begin to look at him or her as too smooth and maybe a little tricky! You were strong enough to post this and I see you have gotten replies.
Thanks for this!

Thank you for the replies. Usually I feel like a thread killer. This one feels like Christmas

It's my New Years resolution (one of them) is to participate more. How can I have friends if I don't try to be one, right?!

If I stick my foot in my mouth I'll just have to learn to say I'm sorry in sign language and balance better on one leg.

I'm not new Skully. I'm just trying to learn how to put myself out there. I'm not the person I used to be and I don't care for who Ive become. I believe that in finding others I will find myself. I can't make that make sense. But it makes sense to me. .....and look at how much I've opened up already

Hehe!!! Love your sense of humor!!

There is a great Games Forum here where we have a lot of fun playing word games with each other and such. So if you enjoy that kind of thing I hope you'll head over there too!

Here's a link to the Games Forum:
