Sensitive and emotional guys like me seldom have loads of friends. The very few friends I really have are those who date back to the pre-historic age, I mean from my childhood !
I have a simple rule with regard to friendships. You cannot 'work' upon building true friendships. You can just 'allow' for a natural one to develop. The maxim 'birds of a feather flock together' is very true with regard to friendship. We have this inherent need to feel comfortable and relaxed in the company of those around us. We cannot find true comfort and real pleasure, unless the thought pattern and overall values of the other person match ours to a large extent.
I find that those around me with a huge circle of so-called friends are basically socialising and not interested in finding like-minded individuals to bond with and blossom forth.
For me, the foundation of 'true' relationship is based on trust and positive vibes (chemistry). Without these two, we end up with a mockery of the word. Unless there is mutual respect and mutual admiration, no relationship can ever survive the test of time.
