I'm 18 years old boy and I like to have friends, but whenever I talk about what things do they like or dislike (because I want to know them better) they just tell in such a way that they are not interested to tell me (they just tell about them and don't ask me about the same thing). It happens most of the times. I even tell them about the things I like or dislike (should I tell them this from my own or wait them to ask). Why do they do so? How can I be a good friend?

It sounds like you would make anyone a good friend. I'm afraid it doesn't seem like they are interested. You are wasting too much energy on these two people. It shouldn't be an effort for someone to reciprocate. If people are meant to be friends it will happen, naturally. I would suggest that you move on and don't try so hard to be someone's friend. I'm sure there are others that would be glad to be you friend. Go out and enjoy yourself and let nature take its course.

You should remember that there is a time and place for everything. Some things should only be mentioned when it reminds you of something relevant and not just said straight out of the blue. Like the world cup for instance. Don't ask someone if they like basketball when they are watching soccer. Rather ask them about soccer and who they like and so on.

Maybe your personality and your presence around your friends is not strong or big enough. Also, your confidence level might be low when telling your friends about yourself. Usually, the bigger the presence, the more people are listened to, whether or not they are your friends or strangers. If you want them to listen to you and respond, then be confident in what you are saying and know that you deserve jsut as much attention to the stuff in your life as you give the friends who talk about their own lives.

Sweetie, you're trying too hard. Just relax and talk! Let everything flow and I'm sure you'll have plenty of friends. If all else fails, you could always go to a party somewhere and really act like a goof! There are always plenty of people that like to hang with the "class clown". :)

ditch them. If they can't be polite or at least aware enough of people around them that they can ask people about them as opposed to themselves, then they don't deserve your good heart. Especially if they won't even give you the time of day. You'll find friends who're like you, don't worry. I felt the same way you do right now

well, it's always the people's personalities that play the role in friend making......some just like to party with lots of people but some like to know your inner world.....depends.....don't worry, u're always a good friend.....it's just that u haven't found the right one that's similar to u......just go with the flow, if they don't wanna talk, then don't.....the secret of making friends: respect.... :)
good luck!!!!
