You have to make time. Some people never seem to grasp the whole "making friends" thing. Even with friends, you have to take a risk and ask someone to go to the movies with you or go have a beer with you, in a friendly way.

I know how hard this is. I work thirds and I really don't even get to see my old friends a lot. My boyfriend works thirds and lives in another timezone. I think you just have to be a hardass about it. IE, I'll skip a meal to come home Saturday night for lunch and talk to my boyfriend online. I might stay up until 5 pm after working all night once a week just to go see a matinee with my best friend.

I guess there are things I neglect that you're better off for doing, but I'd rather eat and exercise less than not socialize. Of course, that's probably a little strange.
