Why is it so hard for me to find friends?

In high school I had lots of friend. More friends than I had time for. Now, I am 25 year old and have no friends other than my husband and my mom. When I married 4 years ago, my husband and I moved away and I lost all touch with my old friends (they live too far away to spend time with now anyway)...I went through 4 years of college, joined clubs, etc and never made more than a casual acquainteance- after class was over, we never spoke again. Same with my co-workers.





I really am a nice, caring person, I just don't understand why I can't make friends outside of work or school. I really want a friend or two that I can spend time with and talk to on the phone. I am so embarrassed that I am 25 and my only friend is my husband. My husband has even made new friends. Why is it so hard for me??

well it may be due to new atmosphere but i think that your real problem is that shyness. you only told that at most you have been acquaintance, right. so why don't you go forward and give a start than wait for anyone else to approach and see your caring nature. good luck
Reply:Get out girl!! Friends will not just fall into your lap- you need to go out and find them! Go for it!
Reply:STOP trying so hard!! Just be yourself and learn how to be a friend to yourself as well. This may sound cliche to be a friend is to be one.





If its true friends you want, STOP LOOKING - they will find you when you dont go looking for it. You cant search for it cause you'll never find it!





Develop new interests and hobbies - it'll increase your chances of meeting new people for potential friendships who will shares the same values/beliefs in life!





you can try church, volunteer, gym/recreational sports, professional associations/clubs like hiking/photography,

Reply:maybe they don't like you try to remember you defects
Reply:Try asking your co workers out to lunch or maybe dinner at your place and if they are married invite their spouse.
Reply:I have the same problem you do. Quite honestly, I think women have a tougher time breaking into already formed female friendships. Women also tend to busy themselves more with family time - where guys will golf, watch sports, etc.





I've been trying to invite someone to lunch and shopping at least once a week - and not someone from work. Some of the women in my neighborhood recently started having Southern Living parties, so I went to one, and got invited back to another. But I have yet to connect with someone in friendship - so I know it's frustrating!





I just figure I'll keep trying and someday I'll find a good friend. My best friend lives in another state, and we stay in touch via instant messaging all day - which is nice.
Reply:Try getting out more and just introducing yourself to other people
