  How do I make good friends?

  Thank you everyone for your advice and input. ^_^ I’d like to reiterate the fact that I am, in fact, an outgoing person. I absolutely love starting conversations with people, which is part of the reason why I highly enjoy being a cashier. The introvert comes out when I’m around more than two people. I get really quiet and shy when more than one person is around. I guess it’s because I can’t read everyone’s reaction in a larger group, makes me nervous that I might be saying something wrong. >.< And I know a lot of you will scold me and say, “Who cares what they think, be yourself!” which is good advice… I just get intimidated. I’ll work on it. @noodle_poodle I found your post highly intriguing. In the first one you seem rather infuriated with me (or rather introverts in general) and in the second you seemed calmer but still annoyed. On the note of thinking that drinkers are “stuck up people who can’t ever let go”...I can honestly say I have never had that impression of drinkers. I kinda made it sound like I hated drinkers, but I don’t. It’s fine, my boyfriend drinks, my best friend drinks, my parents drink…it’s really not a horrible thing, it’s just not for me. On the note of getting married and bored, it’s always been my mentality that you must being having as much fun as you are working or else it isn’t worth it. You can’t waste your life away working and being bored. What’s the point of working if you can’t have an equal or greater amount of fun. You only live once, so you should enjoy it. ^_^ And lastly, on the note of making an effort to find friends. You are absolutely correct. I can’t sit around on my behind waiting for the friends to show up. However, it’s not exactly the problem I’m having. I can say hi, I can make an effort, I meet people…I just can’t seem to find anyone who enjoys the same nerdy things I do. I just wanted to know how to find a good friend. In all honesty, the answer I have gotten is: You can’t make anyone a good friend. You can be friendly and social, but in the end it’s hard to find the good friends that you will keep forever.

  How do I make good friends?

  I’m lucky in other aspects of my life, roommates seems not to be one of them, so I will very greedily accept your luck ^_^ Thank you. And yes, venting online has been very helpful, and I will still work on finding that friend. =)

  How do I make good friends?

  The lady at the front desk saw how upset I was over the $5 fee and asked me about it. I told her my roommate was pissed at me and locked me out. She also suggested I talk to a lady about transferring rooms. I think I’m going to give a week before seriously pursuing that option.

  How do I make good friends?

  @JLeslie She’s new this semester. Last year my first roommate was okay…until she came home drunk and puking into the garbage. My second roommate was one of those cliche girls you see in the movies. I always thought “nobody’s really like that” until I met her. She didn’t give a care about school. I once asked her if she was going to get a job over the summer and she replied, “Eww! I don’t work!” She changed her major 11 times in one semester. And then there’s this years roommate, Dee. She’s been fine up till this last week. She has few annoying habits, but nothing mean. She fights with her boyfriend a lot over small things and always finds a way to get back at him, like tearing all the pictures she has of him or yelling at him over the phone. In fact because he lives one floor above us she even calls him in the middle of the night to tell him to make the door above us be more quiet. =/ Last week she also stormed across the hall and pounded on our neighbors door at midnight because she thought they were being too noisy. Honestly i didn’t even notice the noise. She brought me a cupcake the first day she moved in and I thought, “YES! Finally! A good roommate!!” I was so excited… but after watching her behavior with others I started to wonder if she wouldn’t take something out on me. Part of the reason I wanted to be careful talking to her about her fit earlier. She has a bad habit of taking it out on people instead of just talking about it. =/ I really don’t need her going out of her way to make my life miserable. (Not that I’m miserable. I’m doing okay.)

  How do I make good friends?

  @JLeslie @Beta_Orionis Haha! I’ve never touched any of her things. I was actually baffled by her note she left because she also told me “don’t eat my food!” ...i’ve never once touched her food. And she told me not to leave my boyfriend in the room alone ever for any reason…which seems odd only because her boyfriend lives one floor up (nice enough guy, i have no issues with him) and he’s constantly in our room. My brother also noticed that she took the diligence to tape all her drawers shut, which kinda makes me laugh. Honestly if we REALLY wanted to get into her drawers we could easily remove the tape and put it back. However all this pales in comparison to her finale. So she is yelling at me…later I found out the reason why she was pissed was because she missed church because she didn’t have an alarm because she was staying in her boyfriends room…why is this my fault? im not so sure. I didn’t bother to tell her we weren’t staying in the room because I thought she had other plans. Plus it was a last minute plan to spend the night at my brother’s. After thourghly making me feel bad and upset she storms out of the room with her phone. I sit for a moment before crying. I grab my phone and leave to call my boyfriend (he’s a heart, he always offers a kind word and helping hand). After calming down, I returned to my room to talk to her…only to find she has locked me out. If I wasn’t upset before, boy was I now. I could barely get the numbers in my birth date right when I was asked at the front desk. I had to pay $5 to get a key back in. Despite all this I did talked to her when she returned an hour later. I said my side and my sorrys and she said “It’s fine.” In a very…noncommittal tone. =/ I left it at that. and this is where things stand currently.
