Why is it so hard to make and find good friends?

Maybe your trying to hard! Take a more natural approach to friendship. Find people you have common interests in by joining a club or at work or in a sport but don't be so anxious to have a friend. Instead of sitting around with your bf and his friends get a hobby, or go to gym or something and make an effort to be cheerful and friendly you maybe surprised where you find friends. Don't worry about it like most things in life, you find things when you are not trying so hard. Good Luck.
