The Daily Prompt:
Do you find it easy to make new friends? Tell us how you’ve mastered the art of befriending a new person.
♥
This is something I’ve spoken about often. I have never made friends easily, and the times that I have, I have found that I am easily expendable. I have had a recent experience of this once again. A lesson I have had to learn over and over, but now I think I have finally learnt the lesson. Funny how it often comes from the person one least expects it to come from.
I also think that the problem probably lies with me, because they can’t all be wrong (this thought is purely matter of fact – no sympathy.) It was after this last time that I had decided not to make new friends, but just appreciate the very few that I have – that is if I am considered a friend to these few.
As far as mastering the friendship art, as in the question above, I’m afraid I have never been able to be masterful at it, and suppose that I never will.

PS: An apology. I have been running my feet off for the past few days and have not been able to visit blogs as much as I would like to, but expect me there soon.
Hope* the happy hugger 
I think you do a better job at it than you think. ((hugs))
Thank you for saying so.
*Hugs*

I do, and am very grateful for them. I am happy to be your blog friend too ad 🙂

Beautiful lyrics of that lovely song from Simon & Garfunkel. Take it easy, friend. I was thinking of the song “Whispering Hope.” My mum taught me this song. The lyrics and the melody are beautiful. You are in my thoughts, Michelle. Love and hugs, Iris.
The song “whispering Hope” means very much to me, one day I will tell the story about it. Thank you so much dear Iris.
*Big Hug*

The best friends are not those that are made, but the ones which happen without any particular effort on either side.
Wise words, Col.

People come and go in our lives for a reason. For both good and bad. We learn something out of each person we touch. 😀
That is true, thank you Raewyn.

Without a doubt, I am in the same status — each seem to have a season — and their season’s are up without notice. I know they had a purpose, but their purpose completes before I am ready. NO amount of effort resurrects it. Such was the subject of the last Nurturing Thursday. Hugs to you ~~
I am sorry you are feeling the same, Becca.

Good friends are hard to find. That was the first thing that came to my mind, while I was reading your post, Hope. I think we get people in our lives to learn something and vice versa. When the lessons are learned it’s probably time to go. Thanks for stopping by our blog. That means a lot to us. We try to stop by more often again. Pawkisses for now 🙂
That is true. It is so nice to see you again Angel, thank you for the lovely visit.
*Hugs*
I agree with Green Embers, you’re always so supportive of others Michelle. In the real world, they always say we can count our true friends on one hand. In my experience this is very true!
Id be honoured to be thought of as a supportive blogging friend, I know we’ll probably never meet but hey blogging is our main life isn’t it! xx 🙂
You are so kind Amanda. I am honoured to have you as a blogging friend too 🙂
*Big Hug*
❤

Don’t give up on making new friends yet! You may be missing the best one – a lifetime friend who will not let you down. 🙂
You’re right Dor 🙂

I love the quote you chose!
Thanks Tandy 🙂
*Hugs*
I’ve always believed that one’s true friends can be counted on one hand any more and I just wouldn’t have room in my head of life to be real friends to them.
I know what you mean, thanks Jenni.
*Hugs*

In general I make friends very easily. But you get what we call in Afrikaans a difference between a vriend en kennis.
That is true Rem, the complication for me is when I think a “kennis” is a “Vriend.” 🙂
*Hugs*
True that but the few friends i have is sufficient for me. *hugs*
