Why Is it so hard to make indian friends here?

OCDesiGirl,

Erm..the way I see is not everyone is comfortable in making friends outside their own community.

It is just stepping out of their comfort zone which to some is daunting or the inability to relate to while nurturing friendship. Perhaps you must seek more outgoing people who have cosmopolitan outlook in life (depends on what kind of people you've come across) . Also there might be few things ( ermm...thinking ..thinking) that these people cannot discuss openly and converse engagingly with inter-comminities.

Or they enjoy more regional discussions or want to enquire something very specific to their state hence seeking people with similar background..

To be frank..I'm clueless :confused2:

 

I agree....Friends are friends! Even i fail to understand the importance of finding a person with whom you can talk to within the same community! Maybe its the comfort factor....easy environment.....?

 

Glad when we were young at school, we did not have any difference of any caste or creed, we could mingle with kids of the same age, irrespective of the language or community they come from.

Good if people continue to follow and have a good approach in society even if they are working/married and settled.

 

For a change, why don' t u start a thread titled,' Indians : Yes,looking only for indian friends , any other brand goes unacceptably trashed viz, marathi, punjabi, gujju, telugu, tamil, ...... ' .Should definitely do that .
Thanks for giving me a chance to rattle.

 

Hi OCD

I too have the same question.
I have been to various places in US and meet(apartment)some Indian family who speak other language i feel comfortable to talk(that too in a new place we can get lot of info thro them)with them but the 1st question from them will be what's your mother tongue?the next is do you know Hindi?
If i answer opposite to these the next time they won't consider me.......


I used to think this situation is only for me not for others.

 

ok, then let's have this place to say ' hi, how're u ' almost everyday, and see how it goes? If it's ok, then OCDesigirl, let's initiate chatting right now. Atleast that gives a little fulfillment. I don't know, i'm of this mentality - saying just 'hi' gives me so much energy.

so, here goes mine: Hi friends, how're u all? I'mm fine and experienced a mild earthquake 2 days back in Irvine, California. It was so rattling and an awesome experience !?????!!!!!!!!!
