I also have a small group of close friends. It's hard when friends come and go in life, but that is part of life. I can be really awkward when making new friends, but once I get to know someone I'm more comfortable and more myself. But when I'm running it's completely different. I have no trouble talking to people then!Meaganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02484494180842875733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-63936669677069100282015-08-01T08:29:25.388-05:002015-08-01T08:29:25.388-05:00Yes, friends you can trust are priceless.Yes, friends you can trust are priceless.HoHo Runshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01986964581984440945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-66143232284724962282015-08-01T08:28:32.371-05:002015-08-01T08:28:32.371-05:00A few good friends is all you need.

These days I also prefer spending time with just a few close friends rather than lots of casual friends. Quality over quantity, for sure!<br /><br />Facebook has gone downhill, in my opinion. It used to be a great tool for staying in touch with friends, but these days it's filled with spam, sensationalism, complaining, and other unsavory stuff. So don't worry about not being on it - these days you aren't missing much!emmers712https://www.blogger.com/profile/15865493476823978890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-29906091008516799022015-07-30T12:30:10.634-05:002015-07-30T12:30:10.634-05:00Very great post!

I used to feel like I had to say yes to everything, whether I really wanted to or not.

I've kept the ones I have for such a long time, and I get scared to let new people into that circle sometimes. But, I noticed that with my close friends, they weren't always so happy about hearing my non stop talk about running...so I too started blogging for that reason. It's been really great to build relationships with other bloggers...hopefully I will meet some in real life too! I am on facebook, but I don't do a lot on facebook, and I don't put a lot of value into communicating with others on facebook, if that makes sense.Annette @ Sweating Through Lifehttp://www.sweatingthroughlife.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2490359525929931012.post-72817753827565107412015-07-30T10:07:06.499-05:002015-07-30T10:07:06.499-05:00Yes, you said it...too much noise.

Why do I want to know about the daily musings of high school friends I haven't talked to in 25 years? I don't. I DO want to keep in touch with good friends who have moved away, but I just can't deal with the other FB noise. I much prefer connecting with you and other runners through our blogs.
