Do you find it hard to keep more than one friend at a time? (And I mean friend, not just an aquaintence)

I've always had trouble with keeping more than one good friend at any one time. I just sort of attach myself to them, then move along in a month or two.. or three. God I'm a leech. :( I'm not sure why, I think I find it hard to balance my time with people - not that people are exactly lining up to be friends with me. :unsure:
 
I find friends too high-maintenance.
I don't meet up with people outside of school 'cause it's too much effort, and the input outweighs the output(it's not like I even get any happiness anymore out of having friends since I genuinely stopped caring).
It's nice to have people to converse to, but even then, most people I find boring.
There is the odd person I know in real life who I do enjoy talking to though, and feel like I can learn new things from. But even then, I can't spend too much time with them.
Lol. I remember reading a year ago someone saying they didn't have a desire for friends and feeling sorry for them. Now look where I am.
I do have many friends online though.
EMZ=]
 
I don't really understand what happened at high school - I didn't notice I hadn't been meeting people outside school until year 10 when it hit me. Shows you how dependant I am lol.
 
I've only got a couple of friends, who are both Aspies. Seems most people's idea of 'friend' is too different from mine to do it with them.
 
I have a few good friends which I can actually call friends :D but like some of them are like aquaintence to me yet haven't got any enemies as such, only a couple of them.... when they spot me, just say... its his evil twin Slugerb Girlian :lol: :whistle:
 
I never thought about 'enemies'. I don't think I have any. :unsure: None that aren't just horrible on a serial level anyway. :( :P
 
The only enemy I could think of is my pain in the arse girl who lives next door to me... :thumbsdown:

She would get me in every trouble there is possible, she is even capable enough to get me arrested <_< That's why I try so hard to keep my distant.

Bye bye evil neighbour :wave: :lol:
 
Don't think I've any enemies, as such. Apart from when I feel everybody's out to get me, of course! 'Just cause you're paranoid doesn't mean everybody isn't out to get you.'
 
I have the social skills to get friendships and to maintain them, but there are certain parts of my personality that basically ruin the fun. For once, I am very picky. As soon as I really get to know a person, they start disappointing me. No one is ever as fun and great as I thought they were. This is a flaw in my personality; I am definitely not perfect, so I should not have such a high expectation of others...

In defense of myself: when people disappoint me, my disappointment is usually valid. I am talking about people gossiping, being arrogant, talking down to others or spreading rumors that aren't true. Or people who do everything for attention, even if that means making up some grand spectacular story. To me, those are all valid concerns. But for some reason about every person I meet turns out to be like that... So maybe I am just meeting the wrong people or estimating them wrong...
