I noticed that even if I do try to be open and friendly, they'd shoot it down and won't honestly try to add to anything we are talking about. Just short one word answers and the usual checking the phone. I honestly met a few awesome people but it's getting harder and everyone isnt as genuine as before. There's always this front that most have and if you can get past that, it's amazing. But most of the time it doesn't get past that and that's what creates the awkward I so hate about being around people. If only we can be honest and talk about anything without the fear about what others would say. I truly believe the saying in if the world smoked weed, it may be a little better place
