What is it that brings people together?

I see other people with their close, intimate friendships, and I wonder how do you get there? What is it that makes people care about each other? And more importantly, why don't I have it? Yes, I know people care about me, but I feel it's always more of the transient type friendship. If tomorrow I dropped off the face of the earth, it would be no big deal. I might be missed for a few days, but then forgotten. What is it about me that keeps me from having deeper relationships?

Hi Freda,

Silvergirl here. I guess that when two people get together, they have some kind of dynamics that blend them. I'm not sure how that works, but..

You know how when you are younger, that you aren't as choosy. Well, at least, I wasn't choosy, and didn't always recognize when I was being used by someone, instead of loved by them. I guess I settled for being needed, but I really did think I was in love. I left one relationship because I was tired of doing ALL of the giving, and getting nothing in return.


I think you have to keep your chin up, keep your options open, and never give up on finding that someone you can feel close to. I don't have a best friend, except for my husband right now, and that's okay, but I sometimes want something closer in a female friendship. I don't know exactly how to get it, as I don't have time to put into it, what with homeschooling, shopping, laundry, gardening, church work (where I do most of my socializing, besides OT), and housework, plus home remodeling. *sigh*

Anyway, my best advice would be for you to get out more, meet more people, and be yourself. You will find someone who will fit your bill nicely, but not before weeding out those who don't suit you at all. You will probably know within a short time if someone is right for you, romantically speaking.

Good luck!
