I figure most people knows HOW to meet people (go out, do stuff, say hi, start a conversation). I think that where people get tripped up is that they think BEYOND that. What do they do AFTER they have that conversation? |
Well yeah, I agree with you.
I have tons of Acquaintances, TONS. But I have maybe one that I would call a friend.
It usually goes weeks where im not talking to anyone.
I do think this is because I'm not very "normal".
I don't drink, I dislike drinking hence; clubbing/partying SUCKS, at least in my experience.
Unless you have a well paying job or money in a bank, you cant afford to take classes, meet people doing something you enjoy.
I find most "normal" things to be extremely boring, and in most situation I'll get bored in the first 15minutes of a conversation.
I'm boring (I must be, everyone I've met tell me so), and I cant find anything that will change that. I hope for it, I visualize it, but it doesnt happen. (and ofc I try new things)
I have nearly no interests.
Pretty much, psychology, philosophy, art, music, women.
And.. you wouldn't believe how hard it is to find people with similar interests.
(that you can later become friends with)
So I agree, acquaintances = easy
Women/friends = hard
