Friends exist?

[SadGirl]

Do you have real friends who really care about being with you?

 

[sadsoul]

I have no one irl

 

[HellinHeaven]

I have some friends who know that I feel bad, but caring ... it's difficult. I can talk to them, but they cannot help me

 

[silentsinger]

Not anymore. I have a few on here though who have meant more to me than they could ever know. It's times like these that we truly need companionship.

 

[Cookiedough8956]

does bf count? Other than that.. no irl "friends" that actually care. Want to keep me alive to mooch off of me. Lovely bastards.

 

[dandan]

no no friends.... I mean I would say I have "friends" if my phone rang, and I got a call from some one.... or a whatsapp message... but no,,,, I dont receive calls, or messages, or nothing from no one...

 

[Kyrok]

My best friend & boss, we've been friends for 21 years.
I also made a couple new friends last year. Time will tell, of course, but I think they genuinely care.

 

[Johnnythefox]

No, I don't hear from anyone, see anyone, or speak to anyone.

 

[Skathon]

No, and I have never had.

 

[dandan]

No, and I have never had.

Never ever? dude that's not cool... never ever? really?

I had good times with friends, until my thoughts went so worried, anxious, and so stupid

same
my only friends are my phone notifications, trolling me for some seconds until i realize it was an email from my phone provider (yay a new bill) or someone uploaded something on youtube.
well, at least i get some PMs here ♥

 

[dandan]

I'm gonna pretend I received a phone msg from some body

bleep-bleep

oooh, cool...

 

[Skathon]

Never ever? dude that's not cool... never ever? really?

I had a few temporary acquaintances and street dogs with whom I liked to regularly converse until the former left me and the latter were killed, but, yes, I have never met anyone who, not already being my pet or relative, could be more than an interlocutor.
...which is right; everyone and everything around me wither.

That sounds terrible :( I only see my clients mainly but have a couple friends they just have their own lives or they don't live close. Lately I start going to drug addiction meetings so that helps isolation a bit.

 

[Schizotypal]

No, it's just a delusion, they didn't exist, only in your mind. Go sleep.

yeah, that helped for more than a couple years... 4 actually, pretty cool, until I realized I had different issues from other members...

I've never had any friends and still don't.
I remember back in school was a toture when the teacher asked "this next homework has to be done in groups of 4 people". Every single time they said it, I ended up alone, either doing a 4 people job or joining a group where no one would talk to me. This is also happening in college, lol.
I think this one of the main reasons why I'm going to ctb.

I understand you, with me it was always like this too, no one liked to have my company for groups, and until today it is like this, it seems that nobody really likes us, we were born to be excluded and probably left out.

 

[InkBlot]

Ive got friends, but they don't fulfill my life like an SO did. Most of my friends know I'm not okay, and they do their best to keep me moving but someday I'll wear down the collective and it'll just be me and my kitties.

Yeah, nobody knows you when you're down and out. My younger brother comes over sometimes, last time was a few weeks ago to borrow money, not heard from him since.

Is there any way u can go to a support group thing? Out where u live? I was amazed how much the drug addiction meetings helping to alleviate isolation.

 

[TAW122]

I have some people who do care about me IRL (outside of family), though I wouldn't really call them friends though, just close acquaintances I guess.

 

[bluesleep]

I have at least one close friends and a few others but, they feel so distant sometimes. It's like I want to scream how I feel but there's nothing they can do about it. Maybe they're not really my friends and just acquaintances.

Sorry, I could not resist.

 

[Life sucks]

No friends, no people

 

[CoolGuy9]

No friends for me. In the military I build up the courage to talk to people which at first made me happy. Then I got stuck since all the conversations were boring and I couldn't make a connection. I hate my personal hell.

I know that might help, I was scheduled for group therapy a while ago but pulled out, I've no motivation to do anything tbh.

 

[throwaway777]

no friends irl but i have some online and they are the best friends i ve ever had i love them so much

I like the drug addiction meetings because u literally get all walks of life. It's very non judgemental. The people in there can be hilarious lol! I actually like going. It's kind of awkward at first but it helps u potentially make friends and find support. Maybe not right away but eventually u start meeting people. I met a middle age guy who looked well dressed and successful but has had hiv for the last 25 years. I was like wow! He looked like he was in top shape. He told me he had also been sexually abused as a kid and ended up with confusion about wether he was gay or not. We chatted after the meeting.

 

[dandan]

those groups do help,
I went for 4 years, and kept clean
until I gave up and realized my issues were much different than the ones from the group...
