Hi All,

I have a few friends/acquintances who never or very rarely contact me. I’m someone who craves regular contact and communication with friends.

Further to this, I don’t make friends easily and people don’t approach me to be friends. I also belong to a church where there is lacking fellowship / personal contact but due to beliefs I feel this is where I should be.

I wonder if others had any thoughts, specifically men or those who work with / minister to men. Is this normal for Men? I’m sick of the excuse of “everyone is busy” and it drives me crazy! I realise people ARE busy and might have different expectations/priorities, I just wonder if this is normal? Do I have high and unrealistic expectations? Am I expecting too much from others?

Blessings
 
Not a man here, but my take on friendship is this. You can’t sit around waiting for your friends to call you to do something. If you want a friend, be a friend. Yes, it would be nice if others were the ones that initiated doing something once in a while, but most people do have things going on in their lives day to day that don’t include thinking about when they will next see their friends. So you have to decide: be the one that gets people together or sit home alone.
 
If you are over 18, join the Knights of Columbus, the Men’s Fellowship at your or a neighboring parish. What are your hobbies? That is a common interest where many friendships can blossom

If you are under 18, join your parish Youth Group.
