Lack of Friends?

Featured Replies

Does anyone feel like this? Or have felt like this at some point?

 

Now, when I'm in England (Which I live in as well as Ireland), I have lots of people to hang around with, and thats good. But my friends from back here in Ireland, I've lost contact with them.

 

I spent last summer completely with a girl and never went out with my friends at all. And then I went to England for 9 months. And then I lost my mobile phone with my friends' numbers, and came back to Ireland and I guess I didnt try hard enough to get in contact with them.

 

So its pretty much been about 15-16 months of not seeing them, and I dont have many people to hang around with, its feeling hard to make friends because I dont like most people and push them away (Even when I try not to). It just feels like I'm going to just end up living in Ireland without having friends, isnt that scary?

Sorta.

 

 

Everyone says it's unnatural to want to be alone. That its natural to WANT to have friends.

 

I do just fine without contacts for a long long time. And when I do start hanging out with friends... it's loose contact and minimal efforts with them. I have a close friend here and there. And we are all right like that. I never really initiate a search because really, I enjoy as much time to myself doing as I please. This is pleasurable for me.

I have a lot of people I know,but a few really good friends.

And sometimes I feel alone,but in those moments when I am feeling lonely,is when I realise that I can handle good by myself,but nothing like hang out with your real good friends.

 

A good friends is sometimes better than a girlfriend or boyfriend

well, i know too many ppl who have tons and tons of friends, the problem is, when u have so many friends then never have good friends. I think the better situation is having less friends, but having them be really close... and then u just know other ppl so when u go out u meet them and say hi but never really have to sit through a night with ppl you dont even like, or know all that well. And in most cases im not even intrested in getting to know new ppl since im really happy with the friends i have and sqeezing in more just means i have to see my other friends less...

 

it's just like what i have at work now. Im such a loner here, all the workers that are my age always eat lunch together, and at first i did too and i was very nice and didnt mind getting to know them. But after a couple of weeks i started to really cherish the friends i have and realised how good they are. My coworkers... well im just not intrested in getting to know them or sitting through lunch with them, and i dont have much patience for them, so id rather eat lunch in my mom's office in front of the computer

i probably sound like a loner, and all the other ppl think im such a snob... but i dont give a fuck

 

this is my last day at work anyway :P

It's funny how college changes things. Like when I left school, me and my friends all said we'd stay in touch and remain as close as we were. Luckily none of my close friends left the country...even the county, to study so we all have remained really close. But I have friends who have gone to England and even Belfast to study and I haven't even spoken to them since the first week of college, and they've all been home for the summer.

 

I think if you actually did contact them they'd be pretty happy to hear from you, I know that's how I'd be anyway with the people I haven't seen in ages...and we weren't even that close. So suck it up wuss and try get their numbers!

Well, I have two close friends and many acquaintances that I could hang out with. And I do. Sometimes I need a different company - not that I'd dislike my two best friends because they're great - just to have a change or something. I like to meet new people, but I don't stay in touch with all of them (if I meet them at a camp, for example), just with those that have become my friends.

 

But I think that you should (at least try to) find your friends' numbers and contact them again. I'm sure they'd like to see you again. :)

For awhile I had many friends, and one best friend, and that changed and most of the friends left me behind without a reason. And for a time I only had 2 friends but still I felt empty.. and then I met someone else :)

Life's good for now

Yeah

you should try to contact them

I don't have any friends that live anywhere near me and I don't see them from one year to the next, I guess I have slipped into the way of being a loner, sometimes I think I will out my days like this.

I really don't make an effort to make friends anymore.

So I guess I couldn't really feel like I don't have enough.

 

My family has moved 7 times (I'm not all that old, so that's a lot for me) throughout the years I've been in school... everytime we've moved, I've lost contact with my friends.

 

I've never reallly had a "best friend"... or people who are really all that close to me... I guess I really just don't do well around people.

 

Since I've lost friends so many times, I've just stopped trying to find new ones.

I'm tired of trying to find people that I can have fun with. I'm just tired of people.

 

My dad always yells at me for not talking to people.

 

People usually judge me and think I'm a bitch because I don't say anything.

I guess they think that I think I'm better than them or something.

 

Whatever.

That's why I don't hang around people. They're hateful, they lie, they cheat, and they steal. There are very few people who I trust. They include my family and about 2 other people.

 

I guess if you're dedicated enough, you could be my friend. :P

 

 

Sorry for that long post that probably didn't do anything.

I have a strange habit of completely going off about nothing.

 

Maybe that's why people don't like me. :P

I just moved into college in Kentucky. Being from Ohio, this doesn't seem like much of a change. It's about a six hour drive.

 

The challenge is meeting new people, because I came in knowing NO ONE at all. And one challenge I found was that everyone associated with the people they knew from high school. Everyone I knew was back home.

 

I have marching band to help alleviate this, because it gives me some common ground with other people. And I DID choose this school. It's not like I was forced to go or anything.

 

I look at this as an opportunity to see how well I can do in a strange place. So far, I think I'm doing well...last night was the first night I actually stayed in my room for an extended amount of time.

 

Perhaps college is going to work. Only time will tell...

I guess that's a good way to look at it.

 

By the way... Kentucky's a nice state. o___0

So is Ohio.

Ohio is...in a word...better.

yay. ohio's got things to do if you're human.

My state only has dwarves that stand on the corner and smile at passing cars. D=

Sounds like my kinda scene.

 

And I love how we've turned not one, but TWO threads into our personal chats. Go us.

Ha ha... yeah. xD

 

Maybe we should stop spamming up this one, because this is actually a thread that should be left for deep thoughts, not pretttyyyy horseeeeees and dwarves on street corners.

Im happy with my friends, not too many but they are great, that's what counts

Well...I have not too many friends......I have some best friends...and never really had a real best friend who I shared everything with and stuff......I think that influenced me...because there was never really someone who I could talk to about my problems.....maybe that's the reason why I have a problem with talking about my problems...haha...

 

However......right now I'm happy....because this week I got a friend back...I somehow lost for no reason.....we just didn't keep contact.....but we have close friends some years ago....we still go to the same school...same grade.....but only are together in one course....so somehow we lost contact.....now we want to go out together more oten...like on saturday or next week.....that's coooool.....:dance:
