Do you have an easy time making friends?

[Snow Frostflame 3,568]

Back in 2014, no... but now yes, actually. I've gotten a lot better at socializing because of work and Gmod, people seem to like my sarcastic humor.

Not at all. I don't easily start conversations with people I don't know since I don't feel like they'll be interested in having a conversation, not to mention I don't often know what to say next. Since I'm highly introverted I can also get slightly overwhelmed if there are too many people to reply to.

It's worse in real life, though I've made a few new friends a couple of years ago and prefer to stick with that group of friends.

I like to think that I do, but I really don't know. I do have quite a few friends, but I have been friends with them for years, so I don't know if I've changed at all or if I am the same.

[MangoFoalix 24,944]

Yes and no. I may have an easy time making some but keeping them is another story. Plus, I only connect with people I have a lot of common with.

[Partialgeek514 5,011]

I've been trying for years to get better at socializing, but I still struggle to make friends. There are some friends I have at my church, but I don't feel like I've really gotten to know them yet. I guess my social anxiety is just too strong for me for now.

Deep down I think I have a problem making friends but in reality it’s actually pretty easy. The hard part is keeping them, because I have a problem with consistency.

[Codelyy 1,286]

I think I do somewhat have an easy time when my actual goal is to make new friends, Like in situations for example where you've moved to a new school and you've got to make new friends. I find I don't struggle at that much.. though I still always find it's a scary experience due to my anxiety and "introvertness" (Though my "Introvertness" and anxiety has died down a lot over the years so it's not as scary of an experience nowadays).

That is IRL though, Online I think I do have an easy time at making friends since I hardly get anxious online. Plus I also tend to be rather talkative which I think somewhat helps with making friends 

[Lord Valtasar 12,690]

its extremely hard for me,i can't even start a conversation,friends i had at school,or later at work,always seem to stay only there and never outside work/school.
luckily i had many brothers,and cousins not very far from my age so it wasn't that bad

[CandyCorn 428]

Sadly, no. I'm autistic... so making friends is often a real chore for me. I also tire easily when it comes to socialization. There are times when I can socialize a lot, but that really depends a lot on my mood and such. Despite doing so, I still feel as though I'm quite socially-awkward.

[Dan. 1,825]

Not really..I hate most people though so I don't bother..got a few that I talk to and that's about it.

[Midnight Solace 5,132]

No. Nopony likes me. I suffer from social anxiety disorder, and I can act a bit nervous around others. I'm also uninteresting and unlikable.

[EpicEnergy 23,188]

Not at all, I'm not really a social person and I don't like talking much. Especially recently, I have problems with anxiety in social situations and I'm very awkward when I talk to people.

[ridaranka 574]

I do  I just liked to have a silly goose time with everybody 

[Splashee 28,563]

I am not good at making friends. It's much easier to be by myself.

[Prince Doopliss 2,351]

Nope, I'm not good at making friends. I have no life anyways.

[Fritzy 1,691]

No. Not even in the slightest. 

[Sherem 4,807]

I really can't make friends at all, so yeah I have hard time since I have only met only 2 friends in my history as a brony

[RaraLover 10,414]

No, not really. No one wants to talk to me, so I just sit in the corner by myself. But I honestly don't mind and quite like the solitude.

[applesjck 5,601]

I make friends pretty easily, thankfully! I thrive off of socialization, which I guess is why I'm considered an extrovert. 

[Bastian 13,319]

I do, I befriend people easily and I often talk first, I am always looking for friends

On a side note, a lot of you have problems socializing, if you need somepony to talk too im always free(I hope)

 

 

[Odyssey 5,716]

I kind of curl up into a ball and become a blubbery mess when someone says hello to me. So no, lol. But I wouldn't say I'm terrible at making friends either, if I share something in common with someone I'll gradually open up and say something.

[Clawdeen 12,190]

Not really. Not only am I socially awkward but I just have a hard time connecting with people.

[Jackleberry 1,921]

Lol.

The fact that I haven't made any real friends in my entire life should tell you just how 'easy' it is for me. I guess my quiet and awkward personality just isn't something people care to put up with.

[Oblivion 20,266]

I'm Naruto I always use my talk no jutsu! 

[Stardust 641]

It's hard I mean especially irl when u dun see much people. At work I guess there are people but everyone feels much older and most of the time busy working lol ofc but that is probably the place I see the most people. And these days it's all work at home now. So basically I don't see anyone other than my parents. And I guess it's online but idk it feels harder to interact and that. 

It was easyish at university (postgrad not undergrad cuz they sucked) where there were many people except while I made a lot of friends I also pretty much lost them instantly. Like oof. As well as feeling betrayed by someone I put so much energy into. Some people are clearly not worth it. Maybe if I went to some kinda group or something Id make more frens but idk.
