Some people go out of their way to make new friends. My brother loves going places like the park so he can make new friends. For me that I has always been a futile exercise to try and befriend people who you will play with for an hour or two then never see them again. I also hate when total strangers greet me and ask how my day is going. It’s not that I don’t like having friends, I do. Usually I’m a little shy when I’m new to a group, but once I feel comfortable I leap right in and begin to interact. With the people I talk to and decide that I like mutually, then they become friends or at very least acquaintances. The line between the two can be rather fuzzy for me. Some people I may know for a while before I really start hanging out with them. Others I hang out with quite a bit but still don’t exactly consider them to be friends. That’s just how it is.
