Hi CG, and everyone. This is such a hard question to answer. You see, I talk for Britain.. loads of inconsequential waffle, although I do very good common sense when required. Most people who meet me would say that I was gregarious, outgoing, and very sociable. But all of that has been hard won. I don't have many friends, but I have had them in the same sort of circumstance as TW, although by speaking to people on the boards and pm'ing etc, I am finding them here. I am basically shy, and nervous in new situations, but as I have moved so much as a child and an adult, I have learnt to cover up my insecurities by overtalking and overlaughing.. am I the only one who cries at weddings but giggles at funerals?

Love

Daff .. who is confused by her own answer, so probably confusing everyone else, too!! xxxx

I find it easy to BE friendly.

But I have only a few very close friends.

And many acquaintances.

I learnt the difference years ago, after being used and hurt many many times.

Neither really - I can count my true friends on one hand - my OH's on the other - acquaintances we have many whose company we enjoy and regularly socialise.

But deep down I don’t trust people and I think that shows - its my nature and most of my true friends started off as adversaries lol. It’s a funny old world.

But my friends I would trust with my life and have known many years. I have acquaintances I like and enjoy their company.

Researching:
Powell, Chappell, Haffenden, Elliot, O'Shaughnessy

Yes, I find it easy to make friends, but at this great age I should think I would! lol But, I am very choosy. Acquaintances are easy but real friendship takes a lot more effort. BC XX

I make friends quite easily, you have to when you move somewhere you don't know anybody :)
I have friends from when I started school nearly 40 odd years ago, and friends I.ve met through the years.I've only lost contact with one or two.
But, I do like my own company from time to time, so can be a loner aswell.
