I never seem to get much beyond the friendly acquaintance phase though. Thus true friendships never develop for me. I'm pretty good at small talk, to the point where you might mistake me for an extrovert actually. I have an interesting personality and a lot of interests to talking about things isn't an issue. But I think I hold people at arms length emotionally so REAL friendships never develop.
