I often find myself analyzing my friendships, past and present... Wondering where things went wrong? If things are going well? Am I working hard at my friendships? What can I do to have better friendships? I don't know all the answers, but I do know that I have made mistakes in friendships that I would love to go back and correct because I feel that I would have better friendships for it. Now I have the stuck in the rut feeling... A rut in relationships, that feel a lot more like acquaintances than friendships. I am very introverted, at least when it comes to the possibility of me being hurt, and so I'm not as open in my relationships as I would like to be or maybe even as the other person would like me to be. It is both frustrating for me and for the other people because it doesn't feel like a real relationship to either parties...
That is my blog for today and I'll publish it before I back out...
I think that as we get older, friendships change to a different level. i don't know why but it becomes stranger to open up to people we once called friends. i've talked to my mother about it once because this was what i was feeling also. you're not alone Vanessa.
