Anyone else have zero friends?

[resolutory]

No, but I've never had any interest in having any tbh. (I was literally just thinking about this coincidentally lol.)

 

[RichardFirst]

It's sadly been my experience that few people whom we call friends are genuinely friends. Many of us have "pals" or people with whom we hang out, but very, very few have a true friend.

 

[Darkover]

i have zero friends in fact i go far as to say i never had one real friend in my lifetime
you can't trust people in this life and the more people you know the more shit you have to deal with
people are only friends with you because you have something they want

 

[whatevs]

I have some friends but because of my disability they're fading away. I'm constantly exhausted and have horrible brain fog and never have any energy to do anything. Can never make plans because I never know if I'll be physically able to follow through. My 'family' are assholes. I only talk to my mom occasionally but it never ends well. Zero family functions. Holidays, birthdays etc alone. 50, never married no kids. I've never had a real relationship and have never been even close to marriage. I've never been stable because of physical and mental health struggles. I have an incurable neurological sleep disease that has ruined my life. I've struggled with severe depression since I was 16. God knows I've tried to fix things but here I am. I wanted a family of my own at one point but it just wasn't in the cards. My dad split when I was ten and currently wants nothing to do with me. I haven't seen him in close to 3 years. It hurts. In public I feel like an alien. I'm living in someone else's house and will soon be living in my car. I'm too sick to support myself. I don't even want things to get better. It's a moot point because with the incurable progressive disease I have it's impossible anyway. My biggest desire is to not exist. This movie isn't going to get better or have a happy ending. I take care of three dogs and can't abandon them. Taking care of them is part of the reason I have a place to live. Once they're gone I'll be on the streets. That's when I'll ctb. How I'm not sure. Probably partial suspension. Sorry for rambling. All the drugs I have to take make me loopy.

Why apologize? I enjoyed your rant, I also have an incurable sleep disorder that made life basically unenjoyable to me many years ago.

Would you be friends with someone that has absolutely nothing you want?

@tiredofbreathing
Many, many years ago, when my physical health was intact, I had a group of friends and life was almost good. I essentially lost all of that because of my sleep disorder and sexual dysfunction (not that I was fucking my friends lmao, but fucking was important to keep them).

 

[c__ang109]

No online and no irl and my family hate me so I have no one

 

[Dark Moon]

I currently have no friends online or in real life. I had a few in the past but they cut me off and moved on. I was mostly isolated.

 

[Tnatsid]

I have zero friends. No I'm not exaggerating. I did have like 3-4 friends I would talk to sometimes but since my depression and life situation got worse they all drifted away or are distant. I've just given up. I am completely isolated and alone in this world no family or friends. (I had a friend on here but he ctb recently i miss them.) Only my brother i talk to on occasion but he lives in another state. I'm completely alone now and it only compounds the pain and suffering from my painful health situation which I've been suffering the past almost decade the reason I joined here in the first place. The truth is no one really cares about each other in this world or maybe people just don't care about me. I feel very misunderstood by society sometimes. I would get more into being misunderstood but because of side effects of pschy drugs i wasn't myself around many people because of the side effects for many years and I still can't feel emtions because I have a chemical lobotomy. Loneliness and feeling completely misunderstood by society is such painful feeling. People never try to understand your pain or how hard you try, they just see your mistakes or the side effects from your pain

Having nobody is one of my biggest reasons for suicide atp. I've never had anybody and never will because I can't tell anyone the truth lol. I also still can't feel emotion at all but I don't really have a reason as to why it just happened over time.

 

[missingpeace]

I would like friends but I'm currently plagued with supernatural entities. These things have been mentally influencing my family and have started getting into my 2yo niece too. I don't want anyone to be affected by these things. I feel like I'm a walking hazard. It kills me that they have gotten to my niece and there is nothing I can do about it except watch them ruin her little life. She will grow up not knowing wtf is wrong with her. For this reason I choose to live a solitary life with minimal people contact. The only people I really interact with are the people on here. I hope I ctb soon.

 

[downndone2]

I have several I message, one that comes by here and there, but I question if any are real..

Im just curious, can you describe what you mean by being plagued by something?

 

[Brave_it_Shiru]

I don't have deep connections anymore because everyone is always asking me to do better or be better.

So now I only gravitate towards those superficial relationships where you go "eh" if they disappear for days and I don't care for explanations.

I self-isolate a lot so I kinda get it when others do it and longing for someone that gets me never ends but I celebrate my self-sabotage cycles coz I will not join the world in demanding for explanations from myself.

 

[Failure21]

At one point I thought I had a ton of friends during university but now that I've graduated I seem to have none at all. Most of the people I called my closest friends have blocked me since then and now I'm just alone. I want to either apologize and get them back or make new friends but I know it won't matter in the end anyways.

 

[Yakamoz]

I have many...but doesn't give me any comfort, u can have 'em

 

[katara]

Back in school, I would hide away in the bathroom stalls or in the library. During the moments where i would head out in the playground, I would be sitting alone or being chased around by my peers. I haven't had any friends growing up

Ya same I wouldn't even eat lunch because it's hard for me to eat in public so I'd go to the library. I think I stopped going because I saw a geeky guy with his group of friends. I waved to him because he noticed me, and he said hi. I felt really sad because even he had friends, I was lower then the nerds, because see the nerds have each other. If you are a nobody, you have no one. I probably would've cut off finger just to have a group like that. Normal people have no idea how good they have it.

 

[Viranamari]

I was always a loner. Even before I saw this cruel world as it truly is, I just couldn't be close to people even as a child. I do have friends however I'm not too close to them. When I was younger, I would spend my recess alone like a freak. When I was a child, this bothered me a lot. As I grew older, I became used to the loneliness and I now see it better than having friends. I'm not too keen on relationships other than my family members. More often than not, my friends were irrational and illogical. They just couldn't understand the depression that plagues my mind or why I desire suicide. Needless to say, they never really brought me any comfort. But I don't mind them.
But there probably are good friends out there. It's just that they would be really hard to find. Personally, I'm better off being alone only with my family than having friends.

 

[pulsar]

This is so sad. I have no friends either. I will be friends with all of you. I care funeralcry. I won't go to those though. I fucking hate buses too.

 

[RainyPrimadonna]

I have lots of friends, but they're all sort of superficial. None of them initiate conversations with me or message me, none of us really share the same interests, none of them care enough to ever check up on me or to try and spend time with me or get closer. Honestly, I feel really really lonely. It's like I'm surrounded by people I know and I could become close to, we could have a real friendship, but I just can't. Whenever I hang out with them I feel like I'm in this isolated little bubble that I try to pop and join in on their convos but they just create more bubbles.

 

[Noise]

Yeah. Except that my isolation is self-imposed and preferable. I'm not opposed to friendships, but the few relationships I've made in the past were superficial and lacked the depth I yearned for. It didn't help that I would become engulfed in an unbearable fog, followed by immense embarrassment whenever I'd socialize with others.

this honestly. I have some friends and always say they care. occasionally they actually check up. But it's mostly on me to keep up contact. on me to be included in meetups and I always feel like an outsider anyway.

 

[EndlessNight]

No friends, not even online. When i was younger i could make some friends, but now i cant relate to anyone.

 

[dunwitit]

I can feel your pain and loneliness. In my life it seems that when I need people the most, they just disappear.
I hope you can find some relief, you are definitely not alone in how you feel and what you are experiencing.

I can identify with this easily friend, I'm I may not know what you're feeling and dealing with, but I empathize with you.

 

[SeenMoreThanEnough]

The best friends I ever had were in my teens before simply we just drifted apart and started down different paths. I have not a single friend as of now, though. Well, unless you consider your father and son 'friends'. My daughter wants little to do with me -- she was hurt (emotionally) badly during the fighting/breakup of my marriage, and we rarely talk unless I initiate.

Anyways, I wouldn't classify it as an inability to make friends -- more so a combination of things. One, of being a lone wolf, dependent on himself, and two, pushing people away, inadvertently or otherwise.

I'm so sorry for you I cried while reading your post bro & I haven't cry for a long time... I'm sure you'll find peace one day you don't deserve that.
