My family went on a vacation this summer, and we were spending a week at my cousin's house in Annapolis. On maybe the fourth day, me and my cousin were talking about school (she was going off to college in Hawaii (where I live)). Somehow, the conversation turned to being about friends, and I was asked to name my friends In school (I'd just finished my second year of college). At that moment, I came to realise that I didn't have any friends, that I had probably gone several days the previous semester without saying a single word at school. I kept avoiding her question, because I didn't want to say "I don't have any friends", but she kept asking me and asking me. Finally, I ended up naming a couple random people that I don't even know, and making up a couple names. I was crushed inside; ever since then, I have become at times very depressed about being so shy and alone....

my best friend is my younger brother. we finally got to know and like each other when he was 18 and i was 25, since then(hes 34 and i m 41) it s hard to find such a good friend, we ve got a few, but heck, i can hardly remember some of the people i worked with last yr. friends are people who make a good mark in your life and keep making it. i couldnt name ten true friends off the bat, but i would nt trade any of them. even if you could only name one friend, how much is a friend worth?

I am a shy person myself, and I, although I have friends, only keep a few close friends. I too hate it when people ask, how many friends I have. I never really understood the importance of knowing how many friends a person has. Having a bazillion friends that you know little about sucks. A few good, close friends that you know will have your back is good enough for me.
I hate looking back at myself and realizing how shy I really am. I can be outgoing, but because I don't trust people I can't be the outgoing person I want to be. The person I can be.
All we need to do is break out comfort bubbles and reach out even if it seems difficult.

JUST STOP BEING SHY, KNOCK IT OFF...Practice practice practice ... I can't remember the friends names but I remember their ''Id'' and the fun times we had. Friends come and go.
