Why is it so hard for me to make friends?

I'm a bit of an introverted person, but these days I always feel really lonely. I find it really difficult to make friends and I think it's my fault. It seems that every time I start having a really good conversation with anyone, I start to feel really uncomfortable about how well we're getting along and I start to shut down. I just seem to have this need to shut people out and I don't even know why. It's like I'm afraid to make friends, but I just don't understand why I feel like this. As a result, I really don't have any friends at all, except for a few people who are really just on a "hi, bye" level. I wish I had people to talk to and share my feelings, but every time I find someone who is being friendly to me, my immediate reaction is to shut them out and I can't control this. Please help-- why am I afraid to make friends? Why is it so difficult for me?

    I can relate to that. I have the same problem. That's why I am always in front of the computer. I know mine is because I am insecure of what other people might say behind my back. I am scared of what they think of me. And as much as I want to have these fears taken away from me, it only made me more of a shy person.....i dunno. I can relate to you but I can't help you.

    Don't worry, God created each human being with different carector. Some of them can easily mix up any one but some of them are very reserved like me. But we have to change ourself but we can't.

    But i can only advise you that try your best. After all this is your life.

    yeah! I felt the same but when I stopped making friends, and started being myself, people started coming to me, so learn to love yourself and respect yourself..... write to me if you really need friends now.... I can be your pen pal at least

    I think you are just scared. You are scared of what other people think and insecure about yourself.
