Yes, my sister says this to me. She says that I need to make more of an effort, but I am not sure what this mysterious "effort" is. I've tried to explain to her that I can't connect with people. I think she finally gets it because she was telling me that at a party she was explaining to a couple of people I know that I have problems connecting with others, but they thought she was slagging me off and told her that they don't think I have a problem and that they like me. Granted, I like these people too, but they never invite me anywhere and don't include me in things.
I seem to be liked, but don't have the tools to bridge the gulf and turn that into friendship.
Me and my sponsor go through this!
We seem to be in the same boat as far as not being able to carry things further into a real friendship! I have friends, but ONLY because of the effort THEY expended! If it depended SOLELY on me to carry things, it WOULDN'T HAPPEN!
I do NOT have the gift of gab like HE does!
