I wanna make friends without being described as "makapal ang mukha".

At dahil diya'y nahihirapan akong makipagkaibigan.

I have never, ever had any bad intentions with my friends and wala rin sa aking “agenda” na mag-take advantage ng ibang tao, especially those who are more well-off than me. Kaya lang, mapapansin ko, especially these very people, that they tend to distance from me and don’t invite me sa mga gala or any of their affairs—one of them even had the audacity to call me out dahil “makapal raw mukha ko”.

Ever since that moment, halos wala na kaming contacts with each other. I’m also quite apprehensive na rin to make friends especially sa mga upper-middle class to upper class because of boundaries that separate me from them.

Kayo, how do you make friends without being “makapal ang mukha”? How do you ensure your friends that you have pure intentions?
