Friendships

[Sharni]

Curious mind at work again here

Do you find it easy or difficult to make friends? Do you pour out you life story/deep dark secrets immediately or does it take a while to trust? Do you share all of you with your close friends?

[cowgirltease]

I'm a very hard person to get to know. Ask Pegasus. LOL took her 25 years to find out I was bi.

[IAKaraokeGirl]

I have a...personna here...the IAKG personna...and most people would think I was quite outgoing, the kind of person who is "friends" with everyone. In real life, thought, it's quite the opposite. While I might be friendly to others, I do better in smaller groups than in large crowds, and it takes a certain kind of person to "touch" me and allow me to open up to him/her. My true friends? I think I can count them on one hand.

The real-life IAKG is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get kind of girl. I've never been one to hide my feelings, thoughts, emotions--but only share them with the closest of people. Everyone else might know there was something wrong, but have not a clue.

[Sharni]

I tend to be open with all and have many aquaintences...

But for me close friends are few and far between...and even with them i tend to hold something back...i dont mean to...but i think its like a safety thing....to let people close to you is to give them to be ability to hurt you....i dont cope with friendship betrayal well...been there done that shit

I'm a friend who'll be there if ya need me...anytime!....but finds it difficult to accept a return shoulder

I tend to let friendships slip away before they get too close....i know sounds horrible...and most of the time i dont even realise until its too late...

I'm a difficult person....i tend to be a bit of a chameloen...becoming the friend the other wants....but the true me is rarely shown

Not sure my babble made sense there *L*
anyway just sorta thinking to meself there

[jseal]

I make friends slowly.

[Cobalt]

Do you find it easy or difficult to make friends? Difficult, only because I don't talk to people unless they talk first, then I only give them the shortest answer. But if I feel like talking to them then it is a little easier.

Do you pour out you life story/deep dark secrets immediately or does it take a while to trust? Takes a looooong while if ever that I will tell everything about me.

Do you share all of you with your close friends?
No, only what I feel they need to know.

I am not an outgoing person, I tend to keep to my self.

[TinTennessee]

I believe that Sharni and I must be twins..I am very much the same way.

[MilkToast]

I do not make friends easily at all.

I have a decent group of acquaintances (sp?) and a very small group of true friends. Those that are my true friends pretty much know all that there is to know about me. They also know that no matter the time/place if they need something all they need do is ask (and it does not mean that I have seen them in 10 years, once a friend usually you're always a friend). I also know that I could do the same. In many cases I am closer to some of these friends than with my own family members. However, getting to that point takes a good long time.

That pretty much describes me except for the chamelon part of it. What you see is pretty much what you get with me. If someone doesn't like it them they aren't worthy any of my time.

Anyone who is my friend understands that I have a tendancy to be hot and cold. It is kinda like a cat.. once I have had enough I am good for a while, but am there when someone needs me to be. :D

[PantyFanatic]

Do you find it easy or difficult to make friends?
Easy.:cool:

Do you pour out you life story/deep dark secrets immediately ………?
Yeah.:cool:

Do you share all of you with your close friends?
Sure.:rolleyes2

[cherrypie7788]

Do you find it easy or difficult to make friends?
In between

Do you pour out you life story/deep dark secrets immediately ………?
Absoutely not

Do you share all of you with your close friends?
Some (not all) of them

I get a little anxious in social situations. It takes a special kind of person to make really feel comfortable enough to call them a friend.

I make friends easily but I am not quick to trust and I rarely if ever pour my heart out to anyone. I am slow to truly trust someone with my secrets. When I do trust someone I am as open as I know how to be but I don't like to burden others with my issues. I do not handle betrayal of trust or confidences.

[jay-t]

Difficult or easy to make friends--- difficult
life stories, dark secerts----- no way
share with close friends---- not everything
not a person that talks much till I"ve known them for a good while,but a few close friends that I have are valued friends for life

[Pita]

I make friends very easy although I am a better at listening to them then revealing all of my secrets.

[Lilith]

I am loyal and protective of my friends, and you would not want to be the one who fucks with them :D

[Pita]

I am that way too Lilith. I will let it drop if done to me but don't hurt someone I care for or you will meet my wrath.

[Studmuffin69]

Hard to say I dont have any frends.

[osuche]

I've felt my entire life that I don't really connect with people ~ my interests and thoughts are so diverse that few people "understand" me....

I have certain friends I connect with on different issues, who I share certain facets of my personality with. Most of these relationships are very uni-dimensional....and while I may reveal personal facts to these people, I seldom tell people what I am thinking and feeling.

I don't have any friends who truly know all of me...except for Mr. Osuche....and he has his moments. :D

It's a solitary existance, but I haven't found anyone who seems able/desirous of breaking down the walls....

[scotzoidman]

I'm really very shy & withdrawn when I first enter an environment with people I don't know...& I will pull back from anyone who tries to get too chummy too quick...however, once I have time to get settled in, & get to know people (& figure out who won't be offended by my savage witticisms) I tend to be very talkative, often over-sharing details of my life that might be better kept undr wraps...kinda like I do here...

[LixyChick]

I'm very friendly, but my true friends are few. I'm intuitive upon first meeting and by the end of a meeting I can tell whether a "relationship" will spawn or dissolve. I'm not rude, but I won't pretend to like you if I don't click with your personality initially. I don't judge first off...it's just a feeling I get and I have come to listen to that feeling fore having been burnt for not doing so before.

In the right circumstance I'll relate almost anything about me, but there are people in my RL that know less about me than my Pixie family.

The only close friend I share "all of me" with is Mr. Lixy. He knows everything there is to know about me and then some things I didn't even know myself!

[Oldfart]

I make acquaintances easily, but friends take years.

My friends in the RW I can count on a hand and a half.

I have three people here I call friend.

[boilergirl1]

I tend to have alot of aquaintances some of whom feel that they know me well.but for the most part my real true friends i count on one hand the ones whom i could call in the black of nite and tell em' that i'd just committed cold premeditated murder and they would only ask how can i help? well those friends are dyeing way too fast dammit.
As for sharing all of me? that's just a coin toss so far as i can tell but in 40 yrs of living I can tell you that only three people have ever, gotten the full rundown of my life. for two reasons 1~I try to pack my own baggage and not burden those around me the other reason is not very many people have 2-5 days to spare to hear the entire epic.(no really) of the 3 only two are still alive.
I don't trust too well immediatly but with mutual respect and a bit of time it does happen
I am far more likely to share my life story with a total stranger than someone who is close as for my family well 1 out of 2 aint bad my mom i can share anything at all with(i once called her about my guys attraction to the girly mags over me and her response was get stocked up on fresh batteries!) My only sibling I can barely speak to any more long story there.


I have one piece of advice or however you would like to take it and it is this:

If by chance or time or blood or fate you are blessed and fortunate enough to have one true friend even for if for a short time,cherish it as you would breathing or whatever you find most precious, for the old saying really is true.
to have a friend who takes you for you no matter what is rare indeed.

peace be with you all and good journey

p.s.~I am overjoyed to admit that there are some peeps here in pixieland whom have revived the optimist in me and keep me real too. I have high hopes that I'll make the grade for them that'll have me here.

[Scarecrow]

I'm pretty much a loner, just a couple of real freinds
People hear at Pixies know more about me than anyone in the RW

[Mae]

It is difficult for me to make friends. Apparently my enthusiasm comes on to strong...or something. I've tried different approaches including the "screw-this-take-me-as-I-am". People always seem to want to keep me at more than arms length. I'm not abrasive and I'm pretty open-minded. My dogs keep me company, instead. :)
