I do make friends easily. I'm a likable guy, come the efff on 😁😁😁
I also think our fate is in our hands. I could choose to go out and make friends or I could stay cooped up in the house like I have done for the past months.

My friends are kinda similar to me. I think most of the people we tag "friends" ain't really that. They're acquaintances or colleagues or neighbors and all. I do enjoy it when my friends are way past my pay grade tho. I get to learn a lot from them. So in the real sense, I don't have a lot of friends

My closest friend, this lad. I've known him since our days in undergrad. 2014. I'm always thankful he is in my life. ALWAYS.

I know a lot of people on hive. A lot of awesome people. During the old steemit days we've had a meetup and all, hopefully soon if meet some amazing hive folks.

I think a cognate part of humanity is to socialize so the need to people and possibly make friends is primal. I have a great circle, friends for life. No way I'm tired of them modafuxkers tho 🤣🤣🤣

Do you Make friends easily or it has to be fated?

  • Mine is more of fate I guess, a coincidence that will make us talk and if it is not too fruitful we don't take it to the next level of friendship. Its hard for me to approach people, I don't speak unless am spoken too, a shell so thick around me doesn't even give people the freedom to speak with me.
    I could stay for 5 whole years with no new person around me.

What are your friends like, Are they similar to you?

  • Well sometimes we should have something in common, may be our manner of speaking. If am sassy and find a sassy person, connection js made immediately but if otherwise I would just shy away.

How long have you known your friend, where did you meet?

  • The only one person that has stayed in my life for so long is @gloriaolar since 2013 our first lecture day in school.
    We meet on basis of been feminine, Christians in same classroom waiting for a lecture in the same course of study...

How many friends have you made on Hive? And for how long as it lasted?

  • Have I?.

Just a few of them, on a scale of 3-5 it took some inner strength to ask for their WhatsApp contact and the friendship got better there

Do you get tired of your circle and wish to make new friends?

  • I love my circle and if I get tired which I often don't, maybe j just need one more chatting buddy because the ones I have might be a bit busy.

Tell us something exciting about your friends!

  • I love to have them jovial, people who I can insult and they will understand that it was a joke.
    We take care of each others emotions and share life's challenges.

When it comes to making friends I think I do that easily, it is very easy for me, I can always be your friend when we vibe to the same energy and likewise do the opposite if the vibe does not match my own.

Yes o my friends are like me they have to be else how do we vibe but then I prefer friends who are better than me in other areas that way we get to be better and compatible with one another.

I still have friends I met in 2013 and we are still good friends but the more you grow the more you meet more people in the same circle and bond

So many beautiful souls I get to meet here on the hive and As far as I'm concerned my friendship here on hive with them is still on I see no reason we will have to end it coz we're good.

Tired of my circle?
Nah they are my friends, not acquaintances so I doubt if i'd ever get tire of my circle

I'm glad to be here again

Do you Make friends easily or it has to be fated?

Friends, i love making friends alot. But starting a conversation has always been my problem.
Although if you start i can vibe alot.
Some friends don't believe i will vibe this
much when we are into each other because at the beginning i might look rude(like they say).

What are your friends like, Are they similar to you?

Not all friends like me, but some are like me
I don't really have much friends.

How long have you known your friend, where did you meet?

My longest friendship is about 8years and we met in church.

How many friends have you made on Hive? And for how long as it lasted?

Up to 10friends on hive and the highest is about 5months, that's the time i joined hive.

Do you get tired of your circle and wish to make new friends

Yes o, i get this feeling alot, not really changing my friends, i just want to make more quality friends.
Maybe i should learn to start conversation first.
But in Nigeria it's weird for a girl to ask for a boy's number 😂😂

I even find it hard to ask for opposite sex number can't have someone looking at me like some person with other motives and I can't be stressing myself with one kain explanation
So most of my friends are guys and the female ones are those that we have things in common maybe school Church and all.

Making new female friends can be exhausting and stressing

Good morning and happy weekend all.

About making friends......
I'd say I have more time friends than physical ones. My wife and @cool08 are about the only friends I have now, with reasons though.

Nature of My Friends

They are simple in their reasoning just like me. We holding the same thoughts about life. We believe that

what is worth doing is worth doing very well.

For How Long

I have know my wife since we got married in 2013 and I have know @cool08 since 2007 as we work in the same establishment.

Friends on Hive

My Hive journey began about a year ago and I have made some friends. I may not be able to count but they are quite reasonable in number since 2021 April. @kenechukwu97 @merit.ahama @jay-one @princessbusayo to mention a few.

Tired And Making New Friends

I don't just choose my friends, so I don't get tired of them. They could be worth tolerating at times though, our relationship must continue.

My friends are her funny but reasonable and we get along all the time. If there had been times when we differ in thought, we usually have a common ground for settlement.
Only mature minds can become friends, as such, my friends have mature minds and are doing excellently well in their undertakings.

This is a sensitive factor we should consider while making friends otherwise, we surround ourselves with negative energies. Friends who can easily influence of negatively if we are not conscious enough.

Thanks a lot my dear friend. Making a choice of friends isn't an easy task. One must take a close look at the essence of friendship first, else one could be making a mistake that could tear his/her life apart.

FRIENDSHIP!!!

Good morning my fellow Naija peeps🥰

Do you Make friends easily or does it have to be fated?

I make friends so easily oo, depending on the kind of circle. I am such a social being and love mingling with like-minds.

What are your friends like, Are they similar to you?

Of course, my friends are similar to me if not, we will repel for sure.

How long have you known your friend, where did you meet?

Some of my friends, I know right from childhood, some I met during my high school days and some, I met here in Hive🥰

How many friends have you made on Hive? And for how long as it lasted?

In hive, I have made 8solid friends over the past 4months. Quality strong circles of friends who push each other to succeed 👍

Do you get tired of your circle and wish to make new friends?

Well, in the past before I realized the importance of good circles of friends, I don't consider my goals in life before making friends and so I made friends anyhow. But then, when I started seeing some negative influences from some of them, I had a self-examination and decided to drop some who are sources of negative influence on my life. Of course, I was tired of their negative energy and so I decided to move on with good ones and make new friends who are goal-oriented, and success-driven like me.

Thanks.
