why is it so hard to make friends?

I think it's hard to make friends because swiss people are really happy with how things are organised for them. They are usually not so demanding and don't always want more as most other ambitious foreign people want who also migrate to another country. As they speak 4 languages I don't think they do it on purpose. THey just don't demand a lot in social ways and they really appreciate their privacy. A few weeks ago I invited some friends of my husband who is swiss, at our home for a dinner but they all were asking what we wanted to celebrate. Nothing!!! I just thought it was fun to come together and speak etc. etc. I do think it's harder to make friends in certain kantons like for example wallis. In city's like zurich, bern, basel or geneva it's easier as there are also more foreigners and the swiss just have to adjust to them if they want or not.
