That is good but not valued. I am a tasked oriented person and it drives me crazy seeing people drinking coffee all day and visiting. I learned how valuable it is to talk to someone. I need to make more time to talk and not focus on getting the job done. Ottawa Para-Transpo is cutting funding that will increase isolation.
People take it for granted that making friends is easy.
My fears about friendship building is no different than anyone I may be trying to help. I don't find it easy so imagine how others feel. We have lost the art of making friendship. Our urban sprawl and lifestyles have contributed to that. People need to have a sense of being loved and belonging.
