Not really. I only have a handful of friends, but the 3 or 4 (2 in college and 2 from home) that I am close with are very good friends. But I don't see any of them very often, so I get lonely. I wish I had a huge entourage of friends to party with, but I am just not that good at making friends and trusting them and feeling comfortable/being myself around people. I guess I'm not as outgoing as I thought I was

The only way to STOP being awkward is to get out of your shell. Really, SIMPLE AS THAT. FORCE yourself to socialize. PURPOSELY talk to people. PURPOSELY ask a stranger for directions even if you know where to go. Socialization all comes from EXPERIENCE. Sure, the first 50 times you will feel like you humiliated yourself, but as a result you will become.. you know what? SOCIAL! And when you become social, be CONSISTENT. Don't go back into your own cave, because all your social skills will go away in just a snap of a finger.

EDIT: Oh, and also have GOOD POSTURE. It makes you seem more approachable and more people will find you to be more friendly.

I think my persona in real life comes across very polarizing. Apparently Capricorns tend to be more reserved which can tend to be taken as shady or mean. Because of this, people do not approach me, so yes.

I end up having a few really close friends which are better then none

uHH, it depends. I usually make friends in school, but they don't want to maintain contact once we don't share any of the same classes anymore so,,,





My best friend is a Capricorn and he is also somewhat reserved. I've read that Capricorns tend to isolate themselves from others from time-to-time to "maintain their identity" or something of the sort, so I tend to give him some space. For instance, I won't make him talk all the time when we're around each other (some people like to fill in every single second with conversation), and I will usually not text him for days at a time (actually, I send quick messages or links to funny pictures/videos, and if they want to have a conversation, they can pick it up from there; if not, then I understand)... or maybe they're just pre-occupied with other things, which I don't really mind either.

I'm a tAVROS Taurus, so I'm rather reserved as well, since tAVROSES Tauruses are often cautious about making new friends; they don't want their hearts to break if something goes wrong. For this reason, they're rather selective in who they choose to be friends with, but they will forever cherish the ones they have.
