Friendship is not my forte. Parties scare me and I practically dread conversations. Before going to meet with anyone, even my friends, I find myself worrying about conversations. My first response to an invite is to freeze and panic.
My biggest fear in dating was, “What am I going to talk about.” Lucky for me I married the first man I dated, so that made life a little easier.
Extroverts, this maybe too much for you to handle, but I love to sit in silence. Don’t freak out but I could sit all day, not talk to single person, and be just fine.
I just wanted to put this all in the open so you know I am not an expert at friendship. But despite all my relationship nerves over years, I have learned a few things about friendship I would like to share with you.
-
Love yourself. It is hard to give to a friend what you cannot give to yourself.
-
You are loveable just as you are
-
You are beautiful
-
Dream with your friends.
-
Go a little past your comfort zone
-
Find uniqueness in each individual
-
Be willing to change a little
-
Never return a pan empty
-
Play with your friends old school style
-
The quieter you become the more you can hear
-
The older I get the more precious relationships become
-
Creativity does not kill the cat…it makes friendship more funner ; )
-
Joy is contagious.
-
I cannot be a good friend all the time and that is okay
Making friends may not be easy for me but I cherish the friends I have made over the years. I have learned so much about the world and myself from my friends.
And even though introversion runs in my blood, I am so thankful for good friends.
Proverbs 27:9 The heartfelt counsel of a friend is as sweet as perfume.
