Curious to see what boat most of us here are in. I suspect alot of us are pretty lonely without many (or any) friends. But I've known plenty of people who have lots of friends and are still lonely as it gets.

I wrote 22 goodbye letters; and two are for 2 couples; so, 24 I think.
And this is a short list :)

This is the reason that I had started in Feb 2023 and just yesterday I finished them!
It's hard like hell to write those letter! 😐😐😐

One. Actually a few more than that -- one here -- if you count online friends.

Zero, because I kept burning bridges, ghosting, or some other form of 4D self-sabotage.

I used to have a bunch of friends but now i only have my girlfriend and uhm a friend from hs i see abt once a month. Im too mentally unstable and often try to cut off anyone on my friends list, especially since i frequently flirt even tho i don't want to. In general people dislike me and i can't be in spaces like discord because I'm openly suicidal.

I pulled away from everyone over the past few years as I find dealing with people exhausting. So zero for me!

I have only one person that is everything for me, a friends, someone that I grow up with, a teaching figure that helped me to navigate life and coping with my circumstances, and I'm really sorry that I've been such a leech to that person and that it was really hard dealing with me, that's my other big sin

in real life i only ever had very few friends due to how quiet and shy i been, but none of them were actual good meaningful friendships and eventually failed, with some of them even bullying me

in the internet i did had some friends, but only one of them were genuinely meaningful, which was my long distance best friend i ended up falling inlove with and got together. but she eventually silently dumped me a few months ago, without saying anything beforehand. the rest of my friendships have failed long time ago so she was the only one i still wanted to talk to and i didn't want to trust anyone else, but now that she's gone i am all alone again

A couple weeks ago, a childhood friend (only irl friend) visited me for the weekend after we hadn't seen each other for over a decade. It was rather nice. I see him that rarely because I moved to an another country,

My school doctor recommended me to go a hangout event for young adults that takes place every two weeks at the library. I managed to somehow get a girl's Whatsapp. I occasionally try to make small talk and send pictures of my cats. I'm always the first to initiate the texts and we only text a few messages or less a day, so I'm assuming she's not very interested. I try not to be a nuisance.
