Thanks my friend for your opinion and your support. I've been living in a different country since only 5 years ago. And even though I have my 3 y/o relationship w my boyfriend, I like to meet people and go out with people. I have a sister, and friends in my original country, but this 5 years living here have changed me. I used to live my life without caring what people think, but living alone in other country, without my family near, a need of having people around whom I can trust and also people that enjoy and value what I am as a person/friend, becomes stronger. Its frustrating b/c it's difficult to find a real friend, but what frustrate me more is that sometimes the people that I think that should be able to understand me better (some women "friends" for example), are the ones that start pointing out defects or criticizing in large scale. I'm not saying that a friend should not do that, on the contrary, I think that a true friend will always tell you the truth even if it's hard to listen, but I also believe that a true friendship it's not based on critics or defects detection...!!! Maybe what I said wasn't the reality, but in my personal experience, there's a tendency in women to be harder on friends and on other women vs men. There's also a tendency (in my experience) that women lie more and tend to hold back the expression of theirselves more than men. Some of them become robots managed by society or by "what other people think", etc. Maybe it's cultural I don't know. It just sucks to feel different for being more myself and less the conditioned person that culture creates. And there's also the possibility that I haven't find a good connection with someone yet, and it's just a matter of time. Again, thanks for your support and understanding. It's good to know that there's a place where you can share daily concerns and actually receive excellent advices and support. Thanks again [emoji4]
