Yeah, that got old for me around the 7th grade, when I came into myself and realized that the people in my school were mostly assholes and that me worrying about not being liked was only detrimental.

I have real life friendships, and the ones I do have are the people I'm closest to. It's not that I don't like people, it's that I don't like very many, I suppose. You're all allright on here though.

And I don't like false aloofness at all. It makes me feel like I've totally botched something or the person just doesn't like me (or is as socially inept).

I will admit I'm a bit of a curmudgeon

I completely forgot that word existed! I'm going to try to popularise it again.

This will only work for about two weeks, it's the song I've been quoting.

Love it baby.

I have the 'like me like me' tag, but I realise some people aren't worth the effort. That's not to say that I hate them, but rather that we just don't click. My friends are mostly people who have similar interests to me.

Though the secret crush line seems quite promising. Now to await an oppertunity to put it into practice.

I think you know within the first 5 mins of conversation whether you're compatible or not, and whether its going to be worth the extra effort.

I'd have to disagree, first impressions are naturally kinda awkward, so you should judge people on them. The thing I like most about my circle of close friends is that we're all very different, asside from the alcohol consumption, makes for an interesting life. The dusty recesses of my mind remember hating all of them at one point or another, but they've grown on me.

I've never paid much attention to how my circles of friends developed. Down South, its been so long since I made all my friends, that I don't remember. Then when I came to uni, it kinda went:
No friends > Massive drunkeness > Massive Hangovers + Lots of friends
Which doesn't help in the slightest.

Yes, nothing helps you make friends like the shared pain of whiskey feedback.

Most of my school friends had nothing to do with me at school. Of all of my friends that went to my school, I only hung out with two of them whilst I was there. The rest I hung out with after school finished. First impressions are never good, and people change with time.

[Slade]

Yeah, if you all met me in public, half of you would probably hate me or find me mind-numbingly boring if you went on the first 5 minutes of conversation.

I doubt it. You seem to have mentioned most of the things I like to talk about in your posts. Off the top of my head, you have a good knowlege of Homestarrunner, Futurama and Conker's.
