I think it's time for me to do this, because intuition blablabla :P

I guess it will be a bit more difficult now I am older (28 years), I can be very open and can socialize okish, I'm ok with my introversion and my lifestyle, so I don't have social anxiety or something like that.

I just don't know what is a friendship, how to create one and maintain one (obviously).

So, does someone here also never had friends for all his life, and had to learn how to be more social/how to bring friendship into existence ?

Do you have some common grounds, or it isn't even necessary ?

Thank you :)

Shin, when you are older and have a life purpose, your odds of making long term / authentic friends are much higher. You have something great to talk about, especially if both have life purposes toward an end goal. 

Meeting authentic friends are few. You will meet lots of acquaintances.

Hello Shin.

Your signature says it all. "Be, don't try to become" - Osho

To make friends is to be a friend.

What would you expect a friend to be?

Then be that way as a friend.

Man, I can't believe how many topics everyone discusses and the depts you guys go into. Sometimes I think it is just unhealthy to think as much as everyone does on this forum.

I am struggling to make more deep friendships and that is really what I value. How do you know when you can form a deep friendship, they all seem to die off for me.

How To Make Friends ?

"Make" is something we do to things like pancakes.
For example, do we make lovers, or find  lovers?

So perhaps a better question would be...
How to find friends?  or... How can friends find you?
