Anyone who has absolutely no friends?

[TheHatedOne]

Used to be really affected by my friendlessness but recently I started to not mind it anymore (it still hurts sometimes when people mention they have friends, close friends whatever but what can I do other than move on and keep on suffering?) but I'm curious if there's anyone else because I feel like I'm the only person in this world who has absolutely zero friends.

Not a one, outside blood relations, no one. Feels like I'm cursed to be denied whatever might be the key to happiness and killing my demons.

I'm absolutely sorry :(. Being alone in school is hell. I've been alone all high school years and even now in university. The good thing is that it won't last forever. It will be much better when you finish school. Stay strong and I wish you the best!

I have no friends, haven't in a long time.

I have none and occasionally I feel like I'm missing out. Then I see how people screw each other constantly and maybe I'm just saving time.

HI!! YOU @AverageFanEnjoyer, are a great friend to me! Like I have mentioned on SS a lot, I have no family or friends , except all the loving and caring souls on SS and that includes you.

Never had anything like a so called "family", my "parents", kicked me out at 18, never heard from them again, their choice, and most people out in the world think I am "strange" because of the way I think.

So, ya, I know the empty feeling, BUT..BUT there is a shining light of all the great folks here on SS.

Again, I consider you a superb friend and my wish is for you to have a great week.

Always my best to a great friend,

Walter

never

I have no friends as well.
It does not mean that you will stay without friends forever.
I see that better having no friends than bad or toxic friends.

 

[lifecouldbedream]

I have friends, but none of them are that close. Only a select few know about my life circumstances and even they don't really care, nor do they talk to me often.

I could tell you stories, but at this point none of them matter. I think there are a lot of us who aren't valuable enough to our communities to warrant mutual interest. When I would talk about this with therapists or others, I'd always hear back, "Well, you're not entitled to..." So, you're right. Either we can fix it (never found a guaranteed way) or we just move on. I guess it's one of the costs of the great (perceived) social freedom we enjoy now.

I've only had one here and there but they're always fleeting. Autism has made connecting with others extremely difficult my entire life. I think personal relationships play a huge part in a healthy lifestyle and knowing I'm essentially barred from that gives me little hope for the future
People in western societies are tending to grow increasingly alienated from interpersonal relationships, and ctb numbers are reflecting that trend.... It's really unfortunate this is the world young people like myself were born into

Also thinking about how people in life equals to added suffering and I say to myself that maybe it's good that I am in this situation but my instinct to interact and belong somewhere won't leave me alone :(.

Exactly that. I hate it, I'd rather just believe one or the other.

Hello, Walter!!

I'm really sorry that you were kicked out, parents kicking out their children should be made illegal. I hope that hell exists for those kind of people.

I'm glad that you found a home in here and thank you again for the heartwarming words!!

I wish you a great week too.

After many years living on a giant rural patch of land without ever speaking with others, I got so desperate for human company that I befriended someone who then stole my entire life savings, leaving me homeless. Not looking for any pity. Just mean that as terrible as the loneliness was before, at least then I had a roof over my head & could afford a meal. After? I was dog excrement in a country where money undergirds personal worth. Humans can be worse monsters to each other than anything Steven King ever imagined up.

I used to have zero friends... I remember I used to warch this group of friends in my street and fantasize that I would go up to them and ask point blankly if they would be my friends... I yearned for that... Never did tho.

Sometime later I moved, recognize my lack of social skills and then I read some books - emotional intelligence, how to make friends and influence people - and started to be socially acceptable, at first in an artificial way, but later on more naturally.

Currently after some years I have some friends and I have learned how to make friends, but sth inside me always tells me that I am not worth it, and I never get to really feel a true connection.

... And even surrounded with friends, with people who seem to care about me, I still want to ctb, because it is not the lack of friends or true friends that makes this life unbearable to me, it is the shear meaninglessness of it all.

 

[Snake of Eden]

No friends and that will never change

I'm really sorry for what happened... monster is too much of a soft word for humans. I once came across a quote which said ''Hell is other people''. Complete truth.

 

[Losteverythingtwice]

I'm 22. I've been like this on an off since I was 14. However I do have periods of having friends. What tends to happen is, I find one solid friend and I put all my effort an base my life obsessing over them. Until it gets extremely toxic and they walk away. I can never let them go I'm always too much for them.

 

[alone4evr]

No I don't have any friends either. I used to...but I don't have any anymore.

 

[END21_22]

Approaching a decade now since I last had friends, after a while you just start coping and convincing yourself that you don't need em, but deep down inside you know it'd be better if you had some.

 

[Elv_ira]

Ur not alone <3 looking in from the outside one would think I have ppl, but lol. Couldn't be further from the truth..internally..I'm so emotionally disconnected its gross. But hey at least were in the same boat here on SS lol

 

[Hope]

one day I just realized that people need human connections when they arent planning to die soon. I personally, love human connections despite my saddness and emptiness, I like em from short and ephemeral connections, to the longest ones.

 

[forgotten15]

I'm with you, I have absolutely no friends, no one calls or messages me ever besides my parents. The only social interractions have are at work with coleagues, but other that than I am alone. I just go to work and come home.

Even though I hate life and I think people are mostly shit, i do felt hurt because of my loneliness, we are social beings after all so it's impossible not to feel hurt/bothered at some point about this.
But now I don't feel or think too much about this aspect, I just came to terms with it and am resigned.
Plus at this point of my life I am really tired of trying to make things work for me, I just accepted that they won't get any better, so no matter what, friends or no friends, my only goal is to get out of here. I feel empty and tired.

 

[phoenixx]

I haven't had any friends since I was 15 (I'm almost 25 now). I didn't have many back then but once I dropped out of school, my last friends decided to abandon me. I've had a number of online friends since then, but no one irl. No friends irl or social life for almost 10 years now.

 

[Deleted member 8975]

Friends are completely worthless. They're this group of phony people you pretend care about you but they are never within arms length to be close enough to be your family. Who the fuck would want something retarded like that??

Either there are people I know who I don't give a shit about and who don't give a shit about me. Or there are people are super close to me who I can trust…which is down to not very many these days. And only one I can think of where I would share everything with.

 

[ExLife]

Illness and losing my job has isolated me completely. Although, to be honest, I don't mind that much. People are hypocrites, for the most part.

 

[hlynn95]

I don't have many real life friends either. They often end up abandoning me when the going gets tough. I have an argumentative personality, but I don't mean to :( People end up ghosting / blocking me all the time and it really hurts! just wish I can find one person who doesn't give up on me... I'm a loving caring person. Just can be angry and mean at times (that's my mood swings & I have anger issues).

Approaching a decade now since I last had friends, after a while you just start coping and convincing yourself that you don't need em, but deep down inside you know it'd be better if you had some.

Aww why's it been so long without friends? :/ have you had acquaintances at least?

 

[Q-Dust]

Never had a friend expect for when I was in kindergarten, And it absolutely breaks me inside every time I see a friend group or couples going on about in public, Makes me irrationally angry
