u is for ukelele

Okay, so today I've been trying to figure out how friendship works. Or moreso how acquaintanceship works..I mean usually we look to the other person. We want their personality to jive with ours, we want them to strike up a conversation...all those good things. But of course, they're looking for the same thing from us. How is it so easy to talk to one person, and impossibly painful to talk to another? It sounds easy enough, outgoing people are easy to talk to. But outgoing people have the same issues as shy people do at some point. How the heck do I have friends? How did I know which conversations worked with which people and how do things sometimes just click? When I'm having an off-day or have a painful conversation with someone--is that my fault in missing out on a potential bffffff? This is all a more organized ponderism in my head, promise.
