Learning to make new friends

Making new friends is hard especially if your like me and don't like to talk to new people. So, while moving away from home I had to learn to meet new people and make new friends. during my first semester at university I made quite a few friends but as it got later into the semester I noticed I didn't want to hang out with them as much. I started releasing that those were not people I overly wanted around me anymore. Some of those friends I made I love and would not want it any other way. But this didn't stop me from growing closer to the friends I have now who are my best friends, which I could not live without.

One of my biggest challenges was learning not everyone I make friends with is going to be there for me and I might not want that person in my life anymore. They were all there for me in the time I needed but were not people who were going to stay in my life.

Accepting when some of your close friends no longer need you or are growing apart is hard. While you might not want it to happen you cannot stop someone from changing and becoming a different person to who you were friends with. The ones who stay will, yes change and evolve as we all do but they will be there when you need them and change with you.
