why the attitude?

[littlelady]

Is it just me, or is meeting new people harder than what it should be? I am a very friendly person, but I have a hard time making female friends. Most of my friends are males or girls I have known for years. When I do make new female friends, it's because we have a class together, work together, or because we stay on the same floor in our dorm. It is funny how we can chat all day long on the internet but would probably not speak if we went to the same school. Is this just me, or is anyone else experiencing the same thing?

I have experienced it alot lately, but I have made up my mind that these type of people will not steal my joy.
I think nowadays some females are just not aware they are being anti-social. To me, it seems that people have a lot going on in their lives, try not to take it to heart. Just continue to be your cheerful and outgoing self, they will come around.

I experience the same thing. I think it's jealousy. I'm very friendly and I speak to everybody (I was raised that way). However, everyone is not like that. I did an experiment I wen to a get together at a museum by myself -Gordan Parks and his collection were there. It was very poo poo (Bourgeois) and I was myself you know a smile for everybody. Well my folks were acting all snooty, there weren't a lot of tables, so I chanced it and sat with a white couple and a Black lady. We had the best time -(the couple and I) the sister was kind of like uncomfortable at first. By the end of the evening they had slipped me two business cards and told me to call them if I ever needed a job- I had complained about my current one. The snooty booties were looking at us with longing. The icing on the cake was Gordon Parks winked at me. I know he probably winks at everybody, but that made my day!! Keep being yourself- keep smiling and talking to everybody, because you are secure in yourself!!!

I have experience this attitude before, but I've come to realize that a positive disposition draws positivity from those who really count. Anyone worth the friendship will see the joy in you and will reciprocate it. Those who continue to be negative usually have issues of their own that they haven't yet dealt with, disregard this type of person. Continue to be positive despite those who don't appreciate it. There are many people like yourself out there, looking for positive people to add joy to their lives. Keep your eye open for these jewels, and when you find them, never let them go.
