I'm not ugly, disgusting, stupid nor rude. I can get on well with somebody, in school, work etc., but that's it. I guess some people had intentions to be my friends, and i really wanted to, too. But I can't tell or show it to people for some reason and they started thinking I don't like them or something. I had unusual childhood and maybe that's my source of distrust towards people (I wouldn't even call it "distrust", really, just being unable to open up). I've never been to therapy, would it help?

lol welcome to r9k man

If you dont tell or show people you want to be their friends, you dont deserve friends
>>36385905
i can show it to them, but only if they're obtrusive enough to show me they really want it first. otherwise i still treat them as strangers

They might think the same as you.If your never brave enough to show you want to be someones friends youll never have friends

I started going to therapy since I was 9 or 10. It never worked for me, but might work for you. I have the same problem btw.

It sounds like you're good at making acquaintances, but not friends, and definitely not actual friends.
The difference between an acquaintance and a friend is that you should be able to jerk around with them, and they should be able to jerk around with you. In other words, banter. Keep in mind that it isn't normal to be fast friends with someone. You can be someone's acquaintance for a few meetings, and as you get to know them better (and them you), you should be able to jerk around with each other.
A relationship between two people where only neutral or positive interactions exists is just a business relationship.
Actual friendship is rare, and hardly anyone has this. Actual friendship requires mutual empathy, concern, and responsibility for one another.
I find the notion of trust to be irrelevant. What does it matter that they know more about you? You don't have to tell them your baggage. It's highly unlikely that anyone wants to know your edgy past without already having known you for a while. If you have hobbies, interests, and beliefs--in other words, as long as you are an actual individual with a personality, you should have plenty of information to start a friendship with.
