it makes a bit hard for me to make and keep true friends, because I don't feel the urgency to make efforts to meet up with them as often as they would probably expect from people they would consider a friend. I suppose I ought to make friends with people like me, cause then we would both meet up often enough for us to both think of us being friends, but for some reason they/we don't get out and meet new people much. Both I have a great group of eight girl friends.  We go shopping, to movies, happy hour, and celebrate birthdays and other important events together.  Sometimes we just have sessions where we talk and hash out each other's problems or tell our deepest secrets.  These women have made me a much better person.  I love each of them for their strengths and weaknesses. My acquainances are the people I speak to at work, church, or at social events.  I wish them well, but I don't care to know everything about their lives.
