There is a vulnerability in the process that makes it that much more difficult. Thank you for sharing. Now if only I could figure out how to actually DO these things, I'd be so much happier.

(And she's on vacation this weekend). It was hard to let go of certain people bc I knew I would end up alone, but I'm glad I did, they were causing me nothing but pain. But now, I've been moping around all weekend wishing I had more friends & wondering how to get them. I do need to be more open, I've been acting like I don't want new friends when I really do. I'm so grateful for this post, thank you for sharing!!!LaneƩ https://www.blogger.com/profile/15141081687917913503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-11964477391797808212011-06-19T10:28:10.491-07:002011-06-19T10:28:10.491-07:00This is so simple it just might work! Lol. Thank y...This is so simple it just might work! Lol. Thank you so much for the words of wisdom! It totally makes sense that to find friends you need to be a friend first. I love your examples of just being friendly in class or calling up people you've lost touch with. Great suggestions - I'm going to try some of them. :)<br /><br />I think sometimes I can feel disheartened by not having people reach out to me first. I feel like if they wanted to hang out, they'd let me know. This post is a great reminder that it's not all about me. Sometimes other people want to be reached out to as well.Jennifer M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04962587342835841240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-61446647068955325872011-06-08T15:11:34.614-07:002011-06-08T15:11:34.614-07:00This is so wonderful.

I found it hard to have opportunities to meet new people, but I think a lot of it was my get in and get out attitude and realized that I do have options to meet new people.

I actually started hanging out with one of my closest girlfriends after we reconnected (we knew each other in highschool) at a bar. She asked if I wanted to hangout sometime and the rest is 'history'. It's amazing how if you are open to new relationships they kind of just happen.. =)Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10402306389256756861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1499952934596280848.post-65235383228508993442011-06-02T19:27:41.310-07:002011-06-02T19:27:41.310-07:00thanks for sharing! :)thanks for sharing! :)Celia Houckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07665485251021168578noreply@blogger.com
