I'm sure a lot of us do but sometimes it seems like even adults do this. Intentionally shut out people and new friends because they are comfortable with the ones they have. It leaves no room to grow! Meet different people that can bring different adventures, situations and oppratunity to your life! Sometimes I feel like people don't even TRY to get to know the REAL me before passing judgment on me because sometimes I have a wacky or sick sense of humor. It doesn't make me evil or wrong. It just means that I march to the beat of a different drum and I think sometimes some people are so scared of being different!

Amen, Kitten. Some people are only secure in their insecurity.
"I know what I like and I like what I know." It's sad, but their loss, in the end. The greatest acheivements in history were enacted by people who were (or are) "different". Look at Einstein. The guy was so brilliant he was "nuts", but in a very endearing way. He couldn't total his grocery bill, but he certainly "added" to society. Don't let those who might be afraid or judgemental of you, dictate your self - concept. I'm guessing you're living in a somewhat secluded community right now... but BELIEVE me, there's a BIG world out there - and many people who could appreciate your "wacky or sick" sense of humor.

I do feel the same way. I moved to another country when I was in my early twenties. Having missed out on being in school, or university, it makes it harder finding friends, because the older people are, the more settled they are in their friendships. And they often talk about the good old times, and friends which you do not know.
I have to communicate in my second language (which is English) as well, and that makes it hard to always be yourself so to speak - not quite as quick and witty as I would like to be...
I did join the local tennis club, and I am lucky enough to work with a couple of people around the same age as me.
But it is hard to break into a group of people that has been together for some time.
All the best.

If they shut you out you certainly don't want to be friends with them. Join a club or take a class, this will widen the circle of people in your life and you are bound to meet people that share you wacky sense of humor. Don't change, love who you are!

I think people are too preoccupied with themselves, that they don't even notice the people around them...They already have that sort of comfort with old buddies so they don't bother looking for new ones...there are those who are more willing to be more open than others...If people do not make the effort to get to know you, then it's their lost...

Not really, I'm the one who shuts people out. I've got enough people in my life starting over with someone new is too much work.
