There's something I've never understood. It's quite simple really.

How exactly do you just 'make' friends?

People will say "Just strike up a conversation with someone." Well...like what? They say that like it's easy. How exactly can I just spout some random stuff and expect a friendship or conversation out of it? It'll just end up feeling awkward and unnatural. I've tried it before.

For me, I think my friendships have to be formed causally. No hardcore hunting or digging, no forced conversations. Just a casual chat or comment here and there. And pretty quickly really, I feel like friends with them.

Sometimes, I envy these people who seem able to do this.
