Is it normal to not easily make friends?

I always watch everyone just become awesome friends with each other, but I never make friends I only have a few but they never want to hang out. Is this normal??????

    Can you learn anything about what they (who seem to make friends easily) do that you could try?

    Sure some people are a bit more gregarious naturally, or have families that taught well, but that said, social skills are things you too can learn - they are not magic. Try not to be fatalistic, if you don't mind my saying.

    I'm the same way, I've always been shy. I only have a few friends, and i've known all of them for several years. But now, we barely talk/hang out. I find it difficult to make friends, because when I don't know the person that well, I don't say much because I'm so shy/awkward. I can only open up around the friends I've known for years, but we barely talk anyone so I don't know what to do.

    I'm kind of the same, I'm not good with social sorts of things, unless I know who I'm talking to really well, and there are only a few people who I have who are like that

    I know what you mean. I feel like that sometimes too. Having friends is nice, but its not a necessity. If you don't have anything good to talk about with someone, don't try to force a conversation. Sometimes you just gotta share some common ground in order to make a friend. Some people have a wider range of topics than others, and they might find you boring or vice versa.
