If i was your friend...

So first off; I have moved a lot. I never really got the chance to make close friends since i am a rather shy person and i was always 'the new kid'. I have made one really close friend, but i don't really have female friends(i am male).
The thing is, i would really like a close friend, and i feel like i could be such a good friend to anybody, but it just won't happen.

I do have other friends, with whom i hang out, but none of them (except for one) is -really- close.
I just feel like i could be such a committing friend.

Is this normal? By the way, i am not asocial or way too shy or anything.

Please share your thoughts, feelings and experiences.

    Its easy for extroverts to make friends, they literally put themselves out there. Im sure if you put yourself in a position to make friends you would. And if you meet them doing activities you enjoy, bonus. Youll never win the lottery if you dont buy a ticket once and awhile right?

    I feel the exact same way, except I haven't moved around a lot. It's easy enough to make acquaintances but turning it into friendship seems impossible!

    In my opinion everybody needs at least one close friend. You can have many friends but you must have that one real friend that you give your life for. If you're open and show people that you're trustworthy and have a lot to give, you'll eventually find that special friend. Good luck!

  • You'll have many acquaintances in this life. 1 or 2 true friends; someone you could call a brother or sister.

    You've just said you're close to one of your friends so what's the problem?

    if you really want one friend... you'll surely get one... don't get that too much on your head because as soon as you're gona find someone really similar to you you'll be close with him/her... till then just try to be too social and be happy always :)

    by the way we can be friends.. :P

    Are you perhaps trying too hard? It doesn't sound like it: just a thought.

    You seem okay from your posting. I am sure what you want will happen sooner or later (hopefully sooner).

    I wish you well for the future.
