I have good friends but not best friends, and I don’t really have a specific group of people that I always hang around with as a group. I don’t know, I think it’s just me; never trust or rely too much on others. But I wish, somehow, I had bestfriends and will always be there for me no matter what… you know, like in the movies –

hey there! i came across ur homepage n obviously have read ur journal.=) its all good ya’know.. i guess its normal to be feelin that way. i too have xperienced that n still am from time to time. uknow tha feelin that when u need someone tha most, even if it jst be one person, u cant seem to decide whose number to punch on that phone? the worst is feelin like a loser, when u feel like nothin’s goin on in ur life, and uknow that u’ve been good in this life..so anyway, i guess my point is, these kind of incidents are normal, dont worry cos i know ull find great friends. they may not be perfect, but ull feel that they compliment the best part in you Ütc..

hey lauren… i feel the same way, and have for a few years. it’s almost like once you realize it, you can never go back. i have “close friends” but truly i don’t consider any of them friends because i can’t get myself to open up to them completely, and view them as replaceable.

i think it’s a matter of wanting to open up. there are a lot of potential best friends out there, it’s just a subconscious choice we’re making not to seek them or make those connections. it should happen naturally, afterall.

i think you’ll meet a lot of good friends in your life. you’re a great person to know, and people will see that if they are worthy, or if they know what good qualities are. so i guess the best thing to do is just be patient.

you have jason.

dang, lauren, i wish i could tell you how much that entry resonated w/ me. i’m really questioning tonight the genuineness of ANY of my friendships… and you’re right, i have a bazillion ppl i could call, but i don’t want to call any of them. i feel like i’m sitting here wondering wtf is wrong w/ me. i used to be so fscking social… i dunno. maybe i’m just disillusioned w/ friends. life. everything.

Oh gee wiz… hun I feel like I can relate to everything you just wrote. I have the hardest time understanding friendship. I’m not really close to ANYONE. I just don’t understand why it’s so easy for some people yet hard for others, like me. But I guess I can say, hang in there. Maybe the right person will someday come along that you can tell everything to. Maybe it’s meant to be like that so you won’t somehow shut out somebody else who is actually genuinely a good person.

Like they say, good friends are hard to come by.
