Haha I'm also not sure how you could possibly be considered snobby!! Crazy talk! </p> <p>@Bookish: true! It's ok if we are awkward, we would just play video games to make it better! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103758 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:49:56 +0000 Boheme 1103758@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What cracks me up is that some of my favorite people on HB are the ones writing here saying its hard for them to make friends, and that they are shy :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103753 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:46:42 +0000 Bookish 1103753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@.twist.: bahaha I'm good at emailing, I'll admit that. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103742 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:32:54 +0000 .twist. 1103742@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Bookish: coulda fooled me lady! ;) </p> <p>I can be pretty awkward at times and usually end up thinking the person didn't like me much. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103726 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:12:50 +0000 runsyellowlites 1103726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I socialize really easily in pretty much any situation, but have alot of trouble connecting further than that &amp; have very few irl friends. Even those I call "friends" I don't usually see outside of situations like small group or church, no coffee dates, shopping outings, playdates, etc. :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103717 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 14:06:59 +0000 Lindsay05 1103717@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No I am also shy. If I go to a new group I usually will not approach anyone. I am just not a good conversation starter and keeper going. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103704 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 13:38:39 +0000 dolphin 1103704@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: same here. I'm more shy and reserved. DH is super social and can make friends with anyone and everyone. That's one thing I love about him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103697 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 13:34:10 +0000 GrapeCrush 1103697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>not at all. i'm far too shy, and just think people wont like me for some reason. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103668 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 13:16:29 +0000 Lozza 1103668@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: @rahlyrah: Can I come up to B-more to hang out with you guys? I'm shy around people if I think THEY think they're too cool for me (I probably need to remember all of the awesome ladies posting here that they may come off as snobbish but it's just shyness!), but otherwise I can talk for hours :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103633 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 12:30:22 +0000 MrsH 1103633@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Not really. :( I think it is hard to make friends as an adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103621 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 12:16:34 +0000 Mae 1103621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I can connect to people pretty easily. I'm not very shy and I feel like I have a pretty easy time chatting to new people. Where I really fall down is the next step. I never really know what "friends" do together as adults or like, how to set up a "friend date" when you're first friends with people. Especially since I don't really like going out and doing stuff that much. My idea of a perfect evening with a friend is getting some take-out and watching honeybooboo in my living room in sweats. Which is kind of awkward to invite someone to that first time haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103615 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 12:10:09 +0000 Ra 1103615@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Katrocap: yes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103609 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 11:59:45 +0000 Cherrybee 1103609@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I can find common ground and get along with pretty much anyone and I make friends really easily. DH is the same. What Im not good at is being at home for long periods of time - Im too social for my own good! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103494 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 10:23:32 +0000 Katrocap 1103494@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: I'm the same way! Let's hang out again and start a shy girls club! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103466 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:57:33 +0000 Sophia 1103466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I seem to make friends pretty easily, I just have a hard time choosing wisely and finding friendships that are worthwhile/lasting.</p> <p>ETA: that sounds weirder than I meant it to. Maybe I should say I'm good at making acquaintances? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103450 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:41:31 +0000 artsyfartsy 1103450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Same situation. I struggle to make friends in real life and online. I'm not sure what is holding me back. </p> <p>DH can make friends with anyone in about 5 seconds. I don't know how he does it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103428 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 09:20:33 +0000 californiadreams 1103428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think it depends. i can click with someone one on one or in a small group if we have stuff in common. But in larger groups i tend to stand back and am more shy so it wouldn't be easy for me.</p> <p>@grizz: my husband too is so good at making conversation with anyone anywhere anytime! But he is terrible at making plans and maintaining friendships which i am really good at - i've stayed close friends with several people since elementary and high school. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103415 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:48:39 +0000 MrsF 1103415@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have trouble with this and worry that I come off as snobby :( </p> <p>@ALV91711: forcing myself to get out and go to groups with M has been really hard for me but turned out to be the best thing! Babies are great ice breakers. I've met friends who I actually get together with outside of groups. I never thought I'd be able to do that. I think when it comes down to it a lot of new moms are feeling the same way. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103411 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:43:15 +0000 ALV91711 1103411@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I'm the same way. </p> <p>We are going to start doing baby groups this week and I'm pretty nervous. I'm actually going to have to talk to people. I have a hard time approaching someone I don't know. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103400 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:15:08 +0000 yellowbird 1103400@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: :((( its so hard!! I need some bees that live around me. I have no friends since we just moved here in june. So lonely! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103399 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:15:01 +0000 Bookish 1103399@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: hah that's exactly how I am... I always figure I made a horrible impression and then I don't want to impose for a second hangout :p </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103398 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:13:57 +0000 Anagram 1103398@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like I'm a little shy, but my friends tell me I don't come off that way. But I think I feel awkward talking to new people, but I force myself to do it out of politeness or genuine curiosity about the other person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103393 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:09:37 +0000 Foodnerd81 1103393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is something I'm really working on especially as a new mom who will be staying at home. I don't think I come off as stand off-ish anymore-- I know i used to and have worked on it-- but I have a hard time moving from acquaintances to friends who make plans just with each other (as opposed to hanging out when a whole group is getting together or something.). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103392 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:09:22 +0000 Ra 1103392@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yellowbird: Yes! Me too! I feel like a teenage girl who is all like, "what if she didn't like me?!" So, I wait to see if they initiate the second "date." I met an awesome bee IRL and was too shy to initiate a second hang out. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103386 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:07:30 +0000 MCD919 1103386@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@grizz: I am the same way &amp; people have thought this about me too! </p> <p>I'm not super outgoing naturally, but I have a few friends I'm very close with, rather than tons of acquaintances. I'm just quieter by nature &amp; I don't like making small talk :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103384 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:06:21 +0000 yellowbird 1103384@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: not at all. I think my problem is I never know what to suggest doing if I want to hang out again :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103382 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:05:26 +0000 swedishfish 1103382@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@rahlyrah: @grizz: me too! I'm really not snobby - just shy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-make-friends-easily#post-1103381 Sun, 22 Sep 2013 08:05:03 +0000 Bookish 1103381@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nope. I'm crazy shy and awkward. DH is the same. It's a miracle we are ever social lol. </p>
