Does anyone else find it hard to get past a certain point of superficiality in friendships with people? I find that I do not have a hard time making acquaintances, and often I begin to become friends with a person, but its hard for me to get past a certain layer into a deeper more lasting friendship, and we sometimes end up not hanging out anymore after a while. I think that maybe I have become comfortable with feigning a certain amount of extraversion, to the point where I can make acquaintances easily, but then when it gets to the point where I actually have to be myself, i'm just not comfortable enough to let loose and just be the person that i truly am.
It would make me feel a lot better if there were other people out there who feel similarly.

Well, I definitely understand what you're saying. I think a lot of people can probably relate to this. In general, though, I just have a hard time even gaining acquaintances, probably because I'm not so good with even the superficial things.

I have a similar problem Jessie.
But for me, the people that I have the easiest time talking to I don't want more of a friendship with. They generally have drug problems.
I don't do drugs myself, never have. Don't drink either.
It's just the way things have been for me since I was about 12, I think. I don't know, maybe I'm just so easy going that addicts like me and people without drug problems don't like me so much. Although I gotta admit, those drug addicts can be entertaining, before they get burned out.
