The trouble is, I HAVE met some people that I think I'd be friends with, or read blogs of people that I know I could get along with. Through work and other settings I've chatted with people that are nice, that I know I share interests with. But these are never in situations that I can make more of it than just chatting.
That and I can be painfully shy. I've heard that people sometimes think I'm rude, or snobby, but in fact I just don't know what to say and end up saying nothing at all.
I just wish it was easier to meet people in this town.
In other news, look what I found at Old Navy:
Hey Sarah, First: Sparkly shoes! My daughter always gets them, and I'm always jealous. Love it. Second: I have also found it super hard to make friends in Cville - you would think with the number of transients it would be easier, but most people I know either have enough friends, it seems - all spots taken - or they are only here for a while and then leaving. So, just wanted to offer my sympathy and encouragement. It's easier, I've found, to make friends here through an activity... Cheers!
ReplyDeleteI am really shy too and have gotten that rude/snobby label my entire life! It always surprises me. I hear from someone else that a person thinks I'm arrogant, and I'm just like 'what? where did that come from? I've never spoken to that person.' Which I guess is the problem. I also have a friend who thought that I hated her for the first few months that we knew each other. It's so funny how people will interpret just silence and/or a stoic expression.
