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

[progeria]

yes, absolutely 0 friends, even online

 

[WatermelonMel]

Yes and No, at the end of the day my "friends" are just some online chat people who play games once in a lifetime, they are very busy enjoying life.

 

[Sprite_Geist]

Short answer: yes.

 

[Sebuet]

A year ago I had a handful of good friends. Now, nothing. Keep getting more isolated and don't see a way out.

 

[NIÑAESTUPIDA]

When I was 38, I had my first friend...in fact, I thought we were more than friends...that he was going to save me...but it all turned out to be a lie...

 

[MBY85]

Me. I lost the few people that I had in my support system and I couldn't be more unhappy

Same position here bro/sis. It really sucks. Hopefully you will get what you want, be that peaceful ctb or support.

I'm so sorry. I know firsthand what this scenario is like. There are more liars out there than honest people, (imo) especially these days when most people consider everything, even other friendships and relationships, are disposable and easily replaceable. Again, I'm sorry you experienced that...

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

Exactly my situation too

I try to reply you in my profile but I don't know how

Hi how are you doing?

 

[corpse_prince]

There are a few friends I'm in touch with online but no-one I can be open with about mental health stuff or issues even a little without feeling immensely guilty.
But yes, there are 0 people I could actually just talk to besides replying to memes, or empty talk. Honestly, I might even prefer it this way.

 

[greebo6]

Almost none. Its very lonely.

 

[everydayiloveyou]

I have no friends, it's been 4 years since I had friends.

I have had friends before, back in high school/grade school. There was a couple years were I was alone though due to growing apart from a former best friend, before I met the friends I had throughout high school.

I've never felt like I could talk to anyone. My therapists are the only people I talk about my problems with. I only have my immediate family, but they never listen to me. It's like they only love me when I'm being the peppy mood-maker.

Then, with my therapists, I can't go into too much detail about how bad things are, because then it devolves into suicidal damage control. I don't have anyone except God.

 

[blueclover_.]

I don't have real friends, but i'm not complaining about it. Sure, i would like to meet nice people. But my surroundings are very toxic and ignorant anyway so i'm just constantly mad at them.

I unfortunately suffer all three also. It's a huge driving force for my suicidal thoughts.

 

[LONE WOLF.]

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

A YEAR!!! l've been single a lot longer than that and believe me l don't half miss the taste of pussy!

Sadly so do I

 

[Throwawaysoul]

Zero friends, family is all dead, I have a kid in their 20s. I'm also the only family the kid has, that's part of the reason I've delayed CTB for so long.

 

[Disappointered]

I have one friend and one semi-friend who has a lot of problems and who I haven't known well for very long. Just having one friend isn't enough but the difference between 1 and none is still a lot. I'll try to respond to anyone who wants to chat/message if they feel like talking to me.

Same one friend who rarely comes to see me while I'm suffering from pain

 

[Disappointered]

Btw I'm talking about friends IRL. I don't mean to slight any of the online friends I have.

 

[LonelyBrazilian]

The only people I talk to besides my parents are the people on this site.

 

[Anathema]

Friendless for 4+ years going strong.

 

[deleted]

I saw this post and thought about commenting but I still had two friends so I just ignored it, now I'm completely alone, no friends and no family. I've been talking a lot with my only remaining friend so it's going to take a while for me to get used to being alone again and not depending on anyone else. Why I get the feeling that everyone who approaches me either wants to take advantage or use me and after they've had enough throw me in the trash like I'm a toy? I feel like I can't trust anyone anymore, unfortunately, this is the best way to defend yourself and prevent yourself when it comes to the damn human race

 

[alwaysdopesick]

Not really, unless family members count

 

[Toonloon]

I don't have anyone really. I talk to people who are my clients.
I don't have any real friends.
Nobody to hang out with for fun or no reason.
No one to talk to for no reason.
No one to confide my agonizing pain.
I have no friends.

 

[ikadasui]

I have friends but my brain has rotten to the point it's just about useless trying to socialize. I can't comprehend most things and I never have anything of interest or value to say. I just humiliate myself so I tend to stay quiet unless I'm asked to join in a game as a body or something of that sort

 

[ScaredToLive]

I have friends but it comes with it's own issues. I don't to be one of those people but people can DM me here I can't promise I can always answer ( I am so tired from work) but I am happy to talk to anyone. You all seem so nice

I'm around if you'd like to talk. I'm in the exact same boat.

 

[YMN]

Irl I only have one friend, we've been close friends since middle school. Though we don't meet up or talk as much since we graduated from high school. I used to "joke" about death/suicide a lot with her in the past, but I stopped after her mom died 3 years ago. So I don't tell her about my depression and suicidal thoughts. Even so I love her to bits and she's one of the things holding me back from ctb. Because I know my death would break her heart.

As for online, I have a handful of friend groups. But nowadays it feels like there's an invisible barrier between me and them. Like I talk to most of them everyday, but I just feel distant and unattached. It doesn't help that I can't talk about my true feelings or thoughts to anyone. If I told any of my online friends "yeah I live a meaningless, unhappy life and I plan to end it all one day", they'd probably just give me some generic suicide's a permament solution to a temporary problem or never treat me the same again. Or it would just put a wedge in our friendship.

So I'd rather not say anything. Which only makes me feel even more isolated.
