i have a lot of trouble making friends. When people say "whats up" they think i ignore them but i don't. I respond to them but in a way that they wont hear or see it. I need to make a long term relationship. Do you know of any groups that specialize in making friends? If someone has experience in my situation, please respond.

What are your interests? You could find a group of people who share the same interests as you.

I find it difficult to find REAL friends i have it in a other way than, chtucker18
My inrestests i keep them secret! But friendships are in relation with interests.
Thats i think the reason wai i cant making friends.

Maybe chtucker18 you could give other the love so you could love other people to or something.

Hmm i think you're right to that point. Its very difficult: how do we know of it friends are or not?
Are they real friends? Nobody says to me one day, ''now im gonna be a friend, hahaha.
But fakeness and acting and people that are all clones in this world.
Everybody is the same nobody like me or you or you.

I seem to be unable to make friends. I don't know what to say, so I just avoid socializing completely. I know that can't be good, but I do have my wife, my family and my old friends that I see once or twice a year, so it isn't all bad. I guess I'm content with the relationships I have. Maybe I'll have children with my wife someday and my circle will widen a bit.
