I dont have a single friend in the world

[FireFox]

Right now I don't have a single friend in the world. At my previous university I had close friends to talk too and a strong sense of community because the university was so small. I currently attend a university with a large student population with multiple campuses across yhe city. I don't have that sense of community I enjoyed as an undergraduate.

As a postgraduate I have experienced people eager to talk to me during the first weeks and up until the end of first term. When it's second term those people I talked to regularly in the beginning now lose all interest in talking to me. I am very sociable person who always makes the effort to talk people and it does hurt when people don't respond the same way. I have good relations with people at university but I don't have anyone I can call a close friend or have classmates that see me in that way.

I am struggling with my upcoming law exams and severely depressed for not being where I am supposed to be. I wish I had a friend to talk too because I really need one.

I just want everything to stop.

I have adult kids who have said similar things. For one of them it was especially difficult. I did an online college later in life so never had the campus experience myself. But I've heard that many, many people are lonely there. It surprised and disappointed me (and them!). The "I don't have a single friend in the world" caption got my attention because I recently said those exact words to my wife (who smirked and rolled her eyes).

I'd still have friends if my friend group didn't fucking abandon me mid high school

People are not as social today.
In the "old days" you needed to be social as part of everyday life. No websites no texting, no social media. ( it is not that social)
If you regularly did business over the phone, you would have a phone-friend. A friend in every way even if you never met.
Look at how many people walk around with a smart phone in front of them or lost in whatever their earbuds are delivering.
We are slowly retreating into the dark corners of our mind.

If you have good friends then it's fine. If you don't have good friends, then it's better to be alone.

I know how that is all too well. I'm sorry it's like that for you, too.

Don't worry about it,I'm in the same situation but trust me it's the best way cos then no one can stab you in the back,traitor you,set you up or steal from you,you came into the world alone,u will leave it alone,why risk putting yourself into a situation where u can be set up,traitored,stabbed in the back or something else by trying to make friends?trust me it ain't worth it,it always ends up badly,trust no one,get close to no one,keep everyone at arms length and anyone who tries to get close to you get it scrutinised from every angle as they want something from you,that's all that friendship is about these days,it ain't the 70s & 80s anymore where everyone got on for the fun of it,today's world friends are made for financial gain or sinister reasons so it's not worth taking the chance,stay alone forever it's the best way and if anyone tries to get too close to you avoid them like the plague

@cemeteryismyhome if you don't have friends society says its your fault for not trying and putting yourself there.

I put myself outhere but still no friends. According to society it's my fault..

@Worndown The Internet was supposed to connect people together instead we are now living far apart in our own bubbles. In the Internet you dont have the freedom to be yourself because a person has an opinion that is not in the majority the person will face public hate.

I am not talking about arseholes who say racist things online. I am talking about ordinary people who just had a different belief or perspective from the majority opinion.

Previous generations had more social events in their local neighbourhoods which made easy to make new friends.

Nowadays local social events organised are occupied by elderly people or people who have families. If you are single like me there is nothing for us in our local neighbourhoods. Socialising is also expensive. In my city a beer is more than £10 same also applies to other foods sold at food stalls at music festivals, Christmas markets and outdoor events.

When you tell older people it's not easy to meet people anymore they do not get it.

I know how that is all too well. I'm sorry it's like that for you, too.

@locked*n*loaded Loneliness is why I want to kill myself when I reach my 30s.

I have relatives who dont care about me, I have no man of my own and I am tired of always doing activities by myself because I don't have anyone else to do it with. For me this is not a life worth living.

If you have good friends then it's fine. If you don't have good friends, then it's better to be alone.

@bankai I have this relative who I once saw as a friend. Everyday I miss the person she used to be.

she used to be a kind and cool person before she changed into a bitter and mean woman following the sudden death of her adult daughter from a cardic arrest which no one foresaw because she was never sick. This woman has 2 other living children and multiple grandchildren.

Nowadays she is an unpleasant person to be around with her constant lashing out at people around her. Family members who tried to help her she was so rude. She snapped without warning. She responded constantly with bitterness towards family members who were happy and their enjoying lives.

The lashing out became too much so I don't talk to her anymore unless I have too. My family don't talk to her regularly anymore because the lashing out was so hurtful. She didn't even care about how much she hurt people.

Similar situation, I would say we can be friends but I don't know how to talk to people
