Dear singhcool:

Regarding: ” its better to try to improve myself, and my career than making friends because the energy and time required is tremendous, and out of nowhere, they might just leave you and never contact you”- good thinking to consider Return-on-Investment for your efforts. If you can put just a little effort in making friends, it will make it a better Return-on-investment. Lower your investment to the level of your (lower) expectations. When you start a conversation, say to yourself: chances are this will lead to nothing, but it is good PRACTICE Then start.

Improve your socializing skills for the purpose of practice- this is self improvement. Self improvement cannot be achieved all-in-your-head. It has to include interactions with others.

Regarding you being emotional- boys and girls; men and women are emotional. Some bury their emotions, but emotions are there, no less in males than in females.

Post again, anytime!
