This website must be full of mature people (can't believe i'm saying this) lol it seems like everyone has older friends..myself included. Particularly after moving to a college campus I have realized that people my age or just slightly younger don't have the same ideas on life as I do. Which is perfectly fine with me..I just find myself socializing with older people. At work most of the people I talk to are are quite a bit older, friends I hang out with are just a few years older though.

I just wonder... if we all (I included) prefer the company of people older than we, what do the people older than we do?
"Do you sing at church?"
"Yes I sing at church, I sing at home, at work, in the car, at the supermarket, at Wal-Mart..."

I don't have any close friends other than family.  One man I considered a close friend years ago moved away and now I hardly ever hear from him.  I call him sometimes.  He is close to my age.

On the tangential subject of friends in general, I've often wondered how rock stars decide who are their real friends.  People who are popular, rich and/or attractive always seem to have "friends" all around them.

I'm glad I'm ugly and broke.  People who are my friends, I can be reasonably sure they are really friends. I've about decided being less than handsome and poor is the best blessing I've ever had. If I were rich and looked good I'd go nuts trying to figure out who was just hanging around for their own benefit.  :great:

EDIT:  Okay, I'd go *more* nuts, more than I already am.  There, I said it before anyone else could.  :P

I agree! I have also found out that people who are good listeners and sincerely care about people they meet are often "targeted" by people who enjoy having someone to listen to them talk about thier problems and life, but are unwilling to return turn favor if that other person is having a rough day. Essentially you become an unpaid, under-appreciated psycholigist! Gets annoying after awhile, and very disheartening!

I call them "social vampires". Because they * Slowly drain  * the life out of you, and give nothing nor add anything into the friendship in return.

That's why I tend to be a "problem solver."  Never get that.

Another interesting thread that just fizzled in February... must have been the earthquake...

Honestly, learning how to be a friend is something I have not accomplished since my salvation. Before then, all my friendships were based on the pursuit of vices (women, alcohol, etc.). I have scoured Facebook looking for someone from my past, an old school friend, old girlfriend, whatever, who has found God and who I could strike up a renewed friendship with, but there are none (which is a sad business in itself). But I have some things going for me, and I think when I manage to open up to people in my church I will find friendships that are better than any I have ever had; if they are anything like the friendship Jesus has shown, they will be very good indeed.

Yes CWK!  I've experienced a lot of healing through the church and am thankful to say, I truly have friends.
