Looking to make new friends..
I'm not technically 'new' to this site, but I just started actually using it. I don't really have too many friends. I cut all of them off when I started college. I just couldn't get past the fact that 99% of my closest friends had no goals for their life. I was given this life, I want to do more then just exist. I currently live in Delaware, looking to move back to NYC in the next 1-2 years. I seriously doubt I'm going to meet anyone from this area on this website, but I'm open to friends from anywhere. Males or females. Any age. I'm not picky. I love to talk. I'm really outgoing. Sooo yeah, normally I'm good at talking about myself but I've been up since 4am & I'm heading towards a TKO. So.. feel free to hit me up if you're interested or wanna know anything else. I'm an open book.

Hey get off my brain wave!
In high school I made friends with anyone who floated my way.
Same for college. I was pretty much friendless, and when I did make friends I felt the need to kiss their feet. I guess along the way I bought into what others thought about me--maybe I was lazy or unlikable. And any friend I made I would have to cling to.
My friends were good-looking but I began to realize that they weren't as good as me. That's hard for me to type, and I know it probably sounds snobbish, but this realization was part of me reclaiming my confidence and pride. These people had no goals--they had drifted through college on what little desire I suppose they did have. I could tell this from my guy friend's choice of girls: he was always chasing after insecure girls, girls who couldn't drive, etc. At first I thought: "oh no! I'm not even good enough compared to them." Then I realized it's not about me, it's about him. He would have likely stayed in his highschool job his whole life, even having obtained a college degree.
No one ever thought I would actually apply to grad school, much less get in. One of my "friends" actually stated she didn't think I would make it! With friends like that, who needs enemies?
I realized: I'm pretty great. I'm not going to be snobbish or overly confident, but I'm not going to settle, either. I'm not going to pre-judge my situation anymore (ha okay this may be overreaching--let's say "try"). Nobody is "too good" for me as I've told myself before. I'm going to be my biggest advocate from now on. Glad you have decided to too. PM me if you'd like to talk more.
