Ok, so I am a teenager, right? so my my friends are supposed to be my life, right? The only problem is, that I dont have friends. I finaly stoped fooling myself and recognized that I am B"H very popular, outgoing, friendly and fun to be around. But why dont I have friends? People like me, but.. I dont know if this is making any sence, I have tonz of people who im friendly with ,but no friends. As in no one calls me at night or anything unless its for a specific purpose. And I know its not just my curent situation because I havent had a friend since I was in elementary school. And ive been to camp, sem, school etc, and i always have this problem. I used to think I dont have friends because I cant be honest with anyone so I have to keep a barier, and people sence that, but i dont know if that makes sence. So here is my question- how do i know if im socialy awkward? and its weird to be asking this question at the same time, but I am toatly social, sweet, nice caring, so what can i do to make friends. Do you get what im asking Dr. Lynn? Anoyone else get it? have any solutions or ideas? Thanks!!

i think you might be onto something... i have the same exact thing=you sound exactly like me! everyone loves to be around me, i'm considered popular and outgoing and fun, but when it comes down to it, nobody calls unless they need something, same with emails and any other sort of contact. but at the same time... b"H for me though, i did have a best friend in seminary, but it happens to be that she knows everything about me. which is why i think you're right, about people sensing barriers. but that's just my shnooky old opinion  just letting you know you're not the only one. and that perhaps if you let down some, obviously very carefully and only some, barriers to someone who you can trust, it will help. b'hatzlacha!!!
