Let's face it! Making friends is not always easy.

    I was reading articles on wikiHow and Wikipedia on how to socialize, be funny and make friends. But honestly if you asked me, I think it's just loads of bullsh@#$ :D (see my replies - bold)

    "Become genuinely interested in other people." - I thought I'm the one who need friends not others, who cares about them!

    "Be a good listener. Encourage others to talk about themselves." - What about me!?!??! Who's listening to all my problems?

    "Talk in the terms of the other man's interest." - See reply above! Wat about me?!?!

    "Make the other person feel important and do it sincerely." - I gave up... I'd better be alone... there's just too much work to make friends... Too much gossiping, backstabbing, etc... needed :D

    Dun you agree?

    Or you still prefer to make friends?

    Happiness? No way! Belive me, I know. I've had the greatest times of my life and the best friends when I was poor. And I'm not being sarcastic here

    All I can hear is "me, me , me"

    A true friend would benefit the other person greatly ;) and hopefully they reciprocate that.

    hehe, true.
    But friends do matter a lot, and by that I mean real life friends, not the friends you make online(virtual pen pals)
