Venting I don't have any friends irl

[bestroper]

I'm college student and have no friends. I mean Literally 0 friends. I'm very socially awkward (despite not having autism) I usually cope and do mental gymnastics, but today is one of the hard days to cope . Anyone else like me?

 

[pebpebpebpeb]

felt. me too. do you have any online friends?

 

[hana0]

Same, also a student. I don't even have friends online, I don't know how to maintain relationships.

 

[iloverachel]

I'm sorry to hear that. I have also been a loner my entire life and struggled to fit in.
I barely leave the house these days due to how isolated i feel around people

I hope you find some friends soon

 

[bestroper]

felt. me too. do you have any online friends?

Yes but i don't think online friends are real friend tbh. especially when i don't even know their real name

 

[LastLoveSong]

[pebpebpebpeb]

Yes but i don't think online friends are real friend tbh. especially when i don't even know their real name

that's fair i suppose. i'm sorry you feel so lonely. i hope this site can alleviate some of that feeling for you. i'm in the same situation. in college, but too anxious to go outside or talk to people. it sucks.

Same here, after years of a few friendships, people just changed and moved on as it happens, I don't really care about it though. No friends irl or online, it's all good though considering I've become so accustomed to being on my own and will go out of my way to reject any suggestion of a friendship with anyone.

 

[Zaya]

Same, I have exactly 0 friends both online and irl. The few friends I had in the past all moved on and found new friends that are apparently better than me

 

[Z-A]

I don't have any friends because I feel better being alone, it's more comfortable and peaceful. I like socialising in general but I limit it from getting into friendships.

However, having a romantic relationship is what I want and like. So there's that.

 

[SillyGirl>_<]

Yeah I am exactly the same except I have aspergers. I'm too afraid to talk to new people and the friends I've had have all since abandoned me.

Hihi I'm also in college and have 0 friends it's so painful and horrible. I hate going to class and seeing people have friends laughing smiling having fun I hate it. Have horrible social skills and social anxiety but I'm not even autistic or anything like that. I have 2 online friends but they don't talk a lot and also online friends aren't the same as real life friends real life friends you get to have more of a connection with :( the loneliness got so bad that it literally put me in the hospital LOL.

Times changed my friend, with social networks and high level of general-culture, you can't just cope with anyone, you have to find people with affinity or same interests. Otherwise just hang around, go to social events, pubs and stuff and socialize with everyone.

Making friends is hard, you're not alone in that. I haven't had a one in year. Loneliness is a MF... Keep looking out for the quiet kids in your courses, they might be cool and want a friend as badly (and be just as afraid to strike up a convo) as you. Best best luck

 

[AresCohere]

Similar situation here. I know people ig, few but some, but I can't even consider them friends as I never see them.

Any friends I had from HS and any family is half a continent away so they are out of reach too.

Loneliness is the worst, and yet there is no escape

 

[soolka]

me too! i lost all my friends years ago and havent been able to make any since. people just dont seem to be interested in me anymore.

 

[Zvetok26]

Me neither. I've had friends when I was little. I'm talking about kindergarten here. Since then I've never managed to maintain any friendships.
At this point I barely care anymore. I just don't have the energy. Don't get me wrong I'd love to have someone to talk to. I can't remember the last time I laughed or even smiled...
But I'm so exhausted

 

[ijustwishtodie]

I never had any irl friends or acquaintances throughout my entire life (though, unlike you, I do have autism). This type of loneliness can be really painful and so I wish you find peace soon

 

[theboy]

Me 2

 

[Fr33fallin24]

Sending lots of love to you and I hope tomorrow is a better coping day.
Look for other quiet people at college who are on their own they could be your people.
