Making friends has never been easy for me and it keeps getting harder and harder. I haven't had any friends in a very long time. I occassionally socialize with one person online. But otherwise I spend all my time alone.

How do you go about making friends when you have nothing to say?

sometimes i have nothing to say and it's so hard. or there are times that i think of things to say, but feel that they're inappropriate or would be made fun of friendship that's not fun.

in times like those...i listen. the best factor (for me) in a friendship is the ability to listen.

be safe,

Its hard for me to make friends also. I have trust issues and fear of rejection if I let that wall down. I agree with Kimmy. There are times I dont know what to say and there are times I do and to speak would be innapropriate (sp). Sometimes you just have to put yourself out there. Its not very easy to do.
I have a few close friends, mostly people I went to high school with and one I have known since kindergarten. I have two friends I have met in the past three years and they are wonderful. I keep a close nit bunch. I like it that way. That was I can be there for all if need be or vise versa.
Listening, trust, loyalty and honesty is key to friendship or any relationship for that matter. That kind of relationship should be nutured and cared for always.

*hugs* I know how you feel, sometimes a comment about what they are wearing or if you notice an interest you share... might spring on an intire convo. I used to be scared and shy, but I've found that only hurts me so I make an effort to say SOMETHING! Even if it is... "oh isn't that the GREATEST chapstick?" (yes I really did use that line! and it led into a more interesting convo)
