Hey People,
I'm just having a bit of a 'down' day today, I have them often.
I just lost another friend, due to me going too far with a joke. I was just playing around saying she's a nerd and she was calling me a nerd, and then she told me to 'f' off. Then her sister cracked the poos with me saying I have no respect for people & I'm immature and blah blah blah.. I said I didn't mean any harm and sorry if I offended her, but now they both are not talking to me.
I only have two friends. I see them both about once a month, and that is because I am always the one making the effort. They will never come over, I always have to go to them. It's starting to really get on my nerves, I don't know what I am doing wrong. I never really had any friends thru school because I was so shy. I'm better now, and I have an out going husband that has forced me to talk to everyone. But it seems when I open my mouth, everybody backs off! Im not rude, or mean, I hate gossippers and bullies, I had to deal with them all through primary school and high school. So I refuse to become one. I just dont understand why I cannot make any friends?!

Oh babe. Unfortunately there are some people out there like that.
I have friends that are like that where i'm always the one making the effort.
Do you play any sports etc where you could make some new friends? Maybe it's a mtter of finding new circles of friends with similar interests? Probably not much help i know.
Hey thanks for your advise, I'm still in the process of finding people that enjoy the same things I do.. Everyone I find that enjoys my hobbies are always at least 20 yrs older than me.
I guess I could join a group though, I might try the local areas to see if anything is available for me.
Thanks again.
Hye Poopie,
I too suffer foot-in-mouth at times. Personally, I think being a nerd is cool, so I don't really 'get' why your friend is bugged at you.
Do try to repair the friendship & even if it can't be done the whole way to start with. Some things take time, and maybe time apart can help. Offer your friend a deep apology & tell them how much they mean to you, then leave it with them. Try no to judge their reaction too much.
Hey entreat,
I have apologized many times, but she says were 'cool' but prefers it if we no longer talk to each other for the best. I really dont understand how that means we are 'cool'
She does have a very foul mouth and it was starting to really offend me anyway, she wouldn't listen when I tell her to stop the swearing. Its made me really down, I feel like now that if I say something to anybody then I'll be doing wrong again. Sometimes I think I'm better off without friends because there would be less people that would end up hating me.
My hobbies include sewing, gardening and papercrafts. Not your average 22 yr old hobby, but people I meet my age are still into the night clubs and such and that has never interested me.
I have no advice, I am the same as you lol
I just found a couple of great friends and have stuck with them, when I try and make new friends, I just seem to embarrass myself or something. *shrug*
*hugs* I hope you and your friend sort out your issues
Friend issues, I'm stuck.
