Nope. I'm shy, quiet, and reserved around people. I have two very close friends that I call/visit all the time, but other than them, I don't have any *close* friends. I have many, MANY *friends*, or should I say *long time aquaintances*, but they are just people I know and talk to when I see. They're not *true* friends. I believe the reason is that I'm not very outgoing. While I'm certainly not as shy as I was in the past, I'm still reserved, and don't open up to people that quick. I need to know someone for quite sometime before becoming close to them. When I *do* become close to someone though, I usually can't let go of them. In other words, I have few strong friendships, but the ones that I do have are very strong. I am very close to my family and relatives though.

I am close to a few people on PT, and became close to them by getting to know them through PM's, and then IM'ing, several times a week. I have been here for over 2 years now, and for a whole year on PT, I wasn't close to ANYONE. Not really. It does take time. Now that I've been here for quite awhile, I do have some very close friends. Even then, the friends here that I consider * very close* are just 2 or 3. A lot of people PM me but like I said, it takes me sometime to actually *feel* close to someone. You'll make friends here for sure. It just takes time.
