What age do you think this started happening to you?

Yes! I'm 23 and have been going through this...well, in college, I guess. It's not that it's hard to get along with people, rather, it's difficult to find good people. Maybe it's just me, but are college campuses swarming with losers and a*sholes? WHY? I don't have time for losers and as*holes!

The hardest age to make friends for me was between 18-23. Everyone just wanted to drink and party, and no one thought about their future. After that it got easier, but then I also got busier. When you devote 1/3 of your life (or 8 hours a day) to sleep and 8 hours to work, that really doesn't leave much, and a lot of the time you have to do chores or just decompress. As people get older and then have kids, their family responsibilities grow even more. People are just plain tired! The busy people are usually the ones working for success in their future because that's what it takes to reach that goal. So... now I'm 28 ... luckily I have my best friend, my husband, and we live together so that makes the friendship more convenient!! He's right there to talk to. That has definitely made my life better, but besides him I don't care for that many people.

I don't. It's actually become easier for me. When I was younger I thought I had to please everyone and be liked by all. So I let people pick me to be their friends. Now I choose the people I would like for friends instead of being a friend to all. Just in this past year I have made many new friends and I feel they are keepers. Your time will come. Just be you and you'll attracted the type of people you want to be around. Then decide if you want to be a friend to them. You'll find you will be surrounded by many quality friends. Good luck and God bless!

oh yes. i think it started from 7th grade for me. I had friends then i found out things about them that i would not like to be associated with so i broke it off. Many of my friends as well have completely betrayed me so i guess i dont trust much now.but i find that i have more tings in common with people my own age than those in my age group

No, I think that as you get older either you become more friendly or more shy, so its upto your personality to make new friends. I am 38 and it seems easier for me to make more friends now! than back in my 20's!

Yes, strangely. I have always been kind of shy so its
just harder to open up to people. When I hit 30 is
when I started noticing it though. I'm 35 now.

I'm in the same boat as you. It just feels like that as we get older, it gets even harder for us to make new friends. However, it does take time for us to actually make new friends....

Yes i think its true. The older we get the harder for us to get close friend. We are much more mature and we became much more fussy and choosy. Thts really makes it hard for others to understand us.

I actually find it easier now that I'm in my 30s. I guess I took on a "take it or leave it" attitude and people aren't as judgmental as they were in high school.

Its not so much a hard time making friends but TRUE friends is what are hard to find.
