Good friends are hard to come and this is true. Some say that you do not need many friends, just a few true ones will do. That sounds true to me, too.
They said that socializing is a kind a skill. No doubt. For some, it may takes few years of polishing, for some it may just be their in-born nature while for others it may a painstaking experience. Honestly, it is not really a hard-to-acquire skill. If only you put in your heart to learn it, as nothing is impossible.
It is really nice to meet up friends who, even though had not met up each other for years, yet they seems so warm and wanted to know how you have been doing. Though questions may be roughly the same from everyone - how have you been, where are you working now, what are you working as, have you gotten a boyfriend/girlfriend, when are you getting married, how is your child(ren), who are you keeping in touch with, etc. Typical questions, and sometimes is it kind of bored to keep hearing the same questions over and over again. Yet, most of the times, these are actually the best ice-breaking questions!
It actually feels good that someone wanted to know how you have been doing. Though it is always hard to explain in lengthy and sometimes I suspect the other party might not be that interested to hear all the details. Mostly people would just want to know the summarized version of your life. Nobody have hours to listen just your part of the story. Well, unless for those that you have been keeping in touch you all along, might want to know the latest updates.
So, if you only you have learnt a bit of socializing skill, all these would pose no problem and you would not feel out of place in the mass of people, whom you called them your friends.
