I saw a post today talking about how difficult making friends can be, as well as maintaining friendships, and as someone who has spent the last few years learning how to maintain friendships while moving a couple times and some big life events. One of the best things you can do for a friendship is organise to do THINGS.

Not just meet and talk or chat over message. Arrange to go swimming, or for a row boat ride, cook dinner together, try making clay creatures and laugh at how bad they are. Go to see a play or a singer or a waterfall.

Sit on a call together in silence while you crochet or watch something at the same time in different locations.

Or while you both draw or do dishes and say the random questions that come to mind 'do you think aliens could exist?' 'How can you tell when you're in love?' 'There’s a really cool bird out the window I think you'd like it, it's all blue and green!'

The key is to not try to keep the friendship for the sake of it, but enjoy the Person and their company

Maintaining of a friendship over time requires effort, but also acceptance that you won't speak or see each other all the time. My 3 best friends are all from different phases of life and I have had periods of months or years where I didn’t speak to them just because we had shifted how much we saw each other.

You see them when you see them, you speak when you speak, but you'll find people who with even a tiny amount of effort (a birthday gift, a card, a meme sent, a message or a gif) you can hold onto. People who mean the world to you even though you only see them a could times a year.

I once heard the phrase that friends are like stars, even when you don't see them, they're still there.

Friendships that truly mean something aren't like sitcoms or movies. Life is more complicated and people are too, don't feel bad if your friendships don't match up to what you expect, or if you can't be there all the time.

All things considered, I'm a pretty shit friend sometimes, I forget birthdays and I'm useless to get hold of sometimes. But on either side of friendships that I have, we both make enough of an effort that they're still there.

I'm going to the cinema tomorrow with a friend I've had since I was 11 (or 13 depending how we've decided to measure it that day) and I haven't seen in person in nearly a year. We're still going to have a great time.

Your friendship takes whatever form works for you, don't lose sight of the people you love cos the way you love them doens’t look like 'it's supposed to'

My friend's boyfriend is in the season 7 of spn (hes in ep 2 it's been like half an year)

I said: "I know is kinda boring but don't quit." He asked: "give me a reason to watch this season." So I went: "Sam's arc" (cause it's amazing) and he asked why and I said: "You know castiel broke deaths wall, he gets really fucked up".

"Nice." He said and then looked ashamed. "I... don't know why but I kinda enjoy seeing Sam suffer. I know it's weird."

And i went: "No. No. No. It's completely understandable. Not just him, Dean suffering is amazing too. They look so hot when they're miserable."

And then he complemented jared acting skills and how good he does emotional scenes. I think she's dating the right guy.

How does one make friends? Like it baffles me that some people just make friends, how? Do you accept applications?? Can I give you mine? How does this work? Do I just say I like Taylor swift and the mauraders, what do you like? Are we friends now?

[rachelcommitscrimes]

how do you make friends on this app? like can i just message someone and be like “yo you have the same interests as me, we are now fused”

Sitting in the cafeteria, minding my own business, eating a handful of pomegranate seeds. SUDDENLY! I hear a girl at the table behind me ask her friends “hey have you guys seen The Amazing Digital Circus?” And I tell you I whipped around in my chair SO FAST. I think I might’ve broken the sound barrier guys. Really.

That whole group of people looked so concerned. It’s okay though because I’ve got a new friend now and I’m bringing my Pokémon cards to meet up tomorrow. 😎

Legit question... how do I make friends on here? It seems like everyone already has their tight-knit groups and I'm trying to squeeze in a place not for me. Every time I see things about Tumblr on other sites it feels like it *should* be my favorite place on the internet, but I just feel lonely. :/

How do people manage to befriend other people in their proximity with the same passions and hobbies?

Like seriously. I don't even manage to meet people.

I wish I could go make some friends, however it's seems like most people always assume that I'm showing interest. I don't want to make out, or whatever, with you or anyone else. I just want to talk.
