Discussion Does anyone have 0 friends or people to talk to?

[Pessimist]

Loneliness, social anxiety, and having no friends is part of the reason that I'm suicidal.

I have friends but i can't be completely open about the depth of my depression with them :(
Hang in there, it doesn't get better, but you can always distract yourself & oversleep. That's what I do, also you can PM me if you like.

 

[MutatedFlower]

None whatsoever. Not even online friends until recently.

 

[FarAcrossTheWater]

The big secret about people is that they're self-interested. You have to offer them something that they care about. Never disclose your mental health.

 

[ClownMe]

me. i have one online friend I talk to when I can but having an online friend isnt the same as having a friend in your everyday life.

 

[Marktheghost]

Me

 

[Amumu]

I isolate myself completely because of depression and I can bear less and less my surroundings.

So saying I have no one to talk to isn't exaggerated.

 

[torimandy]

My friends here are my only friends

But if you had friends, would it really make you leee suicidal? Or would you still be suicidal and know you're going to take your life someday. And I'll be your friend. I know it's not the same as the real thing but it's something I hope.

Is it better to have bad people to talk to who do not understand? We can write to each other here, you can write to me, I understand loneliness.

 

[loopylou]

Yup me

 

[SelmaJezkova10]

Me, having friends has been one of the most complicated things in my life, I convince myself that maybe I will never have friends or that there will always be someone who walks away. So I prefer loneliness to meet someone who leaves me with painful memories.

 

[FuneralCry]

I kinda choose it to be that way. People are just disappointing and exhausting in my opinion. They can cause us a lot of pain. I just feel disconnected from this world and others. The majority of my time is spent with my own thoughts.

I got rid of a close friend because he bored me, so I no longer have anyone close except direct family, but no I don't have the loneliness or anything like that.

 

[WornOutLife]

Well, you have US!!
I have lots of friends here who are really helping me to keep on going!

Anyway, hope you can get some friends soon!

Hugs and love,

Matt

Me too, alone I won't be hurt again!

 

[palebluedot]

I just lost all of my friends in one night, which is good because they were literally the only thing stopping me. oblivion, here I come

 

[Otto]

me too,depression,social anxiety,childhood mental abuse,kept moving so I never fit in anywhere ,constantly feel judged negatively

 

[Oozzy]

Same. I have some online friends but i didn't go out with anyone about a year.

 

[Nigh]

To be honest I've pushed all my friends away...I think I like being a loner. I do have sisters I can potentially talk to, but I don't think I can talk to anybody in my life about pro suicide... which is why I'm here.

 

[Hurt]

Few friends but barely talk. It sucks a lot.

 

[In2TheVoid]

having friends is good fortune on one hand but an additional mental barrier to CTB which can be brutal

 

[Lost21]

I never had a friend in my life. Shyness can be so delibitating

 

[insanedoomer]

Me !! , only interactions with abusers .

 

[Celerity]

Yep, nobody left except my "best friend" who ghosts me whenever she feels like it. Only people on here get the unvarnished truth.

 

[avoid_slow_death]

That would be me. Not a God damn soul to talk to regularly online or off. Used to until very recently. I am literally the epitome of human fucking garbage.

I know your answer was for someone else but I wanted to get some advice. You mentioned distract yourself and oversleep. Do like to sleep but I have nightmares and I work a lot. Since I know I'm going to be alone for the rest if my life I figure I'll just distract my by staying super busy. It doesn't take the pain away. It's still there even when I'm doing stuff...any suggestions?

 

[gtrfvr]

None at all. People try but I tend to keep my distance.

Not the person you were asking, but personally I would still be suicidal. 100%
My own lack of friends and present family is more about the lack of a support system, a lack of listening ears, a lack of love and care that I see them offer to other people, but never to me, and certainly not with the same eagerness, patience, or attentiveness.
To have my own reasons for needing to end this "life" is one thing, but to have nobody around me to confide in, to give a damn, well that really hits the shit straight out of the park and right onto my head.
It's adding insult to injury.

 

[disillusionment]

Yes, I have zero friends now that I hang out with or talk to. I have no family members nearby and none that I can actually talk to besides small talk (over text). The only person I talk to daily is my boyfriend who wants to break up with me and basically is miserable being with me but we both can't bring ourselves to break up bc we're both codependent. So yeah if he and I do break up one day I will most likely go without talking to anyone at all and that's scary for me. I don't know how to talk to strangers and make friends bc of my social anxiety so now I'm just super alone
