I have a history of the whole friendship thing backfiring on me.. Like, I don't really know how one normally goes about making friends.. so rather than a friend, I end up with a borderline.. 
They're great at forming relationships, but they're usually pretty crummy friends, and certainly very, very BAD role models!

If you have to 'try', there's not a genuine connection in the first place. Without that natural chemistry, you're not going to bond anyway. No, I can't recall ever trying to make friends with anyone. It happens when it happens.
Which is why the close friends I've had in my life I could count on my fingers, with a few left over. But they've been awesome friends.
Sometimes I 'allow' someone to consider themselves my friend, rather than be rude to them, when I would be just as happy if they'd go away.

Hmm. It really works differently for different people. I think even most NTs have to actually try to establish a friendship. Depending on what BEING YOURSELF looks like to others, you could easily wind up with absolutely no friends, and that's extremely unhealthy. I don't see anything wrong with withholding some of yourself so you can fit in, but that's my opinion.
