help meeting good peoples

You're welcome Sunshine! I think we all struggle with that...atleast sometimes. I know when I was in my 20's, I was alot less able to to just accept people. I think some of it comes from being young and trying to find our own place in the world. Much love <3

That definatley got me thinking. Thanks Panterra! I do judge others, and sometimes with the first glance. I wish i didn't and i try not to. it's something I am still working on.

for me its as simple as picking up on other peoples vibes. you can just tell.

I like to think I have good instincts too Change, but sometimes, I don't think it is that simple. For years, I had a kind of secret, something personal that I kept to myself. Some people who met me said, "I knew there was something!" (after they found out), but until they knew, it threw them. Some people were drawn to me because of it, while others let it push them away...either way, it had nothing to do with me being a good person or friend in the end.

Aika, so true! I am a very quiet person, always have been and was a shy kid... it's always been hard for me finding just the right friends and being able to keep them, plus having issues with anxiety has not helped along the way... I do like the idea of trying to find potlucks and circles, at least I might have a chance of finding people into the same things as me which has always been a struggle.

Ugh some of you huys certainly have the wrong idea. I'm not short on friends, nor do I struggle to meet people. I'm very outgoing, and I have tons of friends. What I'm short on is friends w/ dreads, and that's why I posted this. A lot of my friends are really wrapped up in the consumer culture in which we live, and that upsets me. That's what I mean when I say good people. Don't make assumptions.

Just because someone has dreads doesn't make them not into consumerism or a "good person" or anything else...like a pot smoker or Bob Marley fan...now who is making assumptions?
