Venting No friends

[LifeIsASadist]

I don't have any IRL friends, my closest friend is a guy from Honduras that I intend to meet IRL if I don't CTB but thats long ways away because some stupid Honduran law mandates you to be 21 to fly alone. Don't even get me started on never having a gf either.

I have a couple "friends" who are good people, but we don't have much in common at all. I don't have a "best friend" or anyone like that; IRL nor online. I don't feel particularly odd, but from my perspective, that's always the role I get placed in in any sort of social group -- the odd one out. I think my hobbies and interests are really neat, but I guess most others don't think so? I feel like I can never relate to anyone and that I have nothing in common with anyone. Or, if I do so happen to find people with similar interests, they already have their own little clique or circle, so they don't want to be friends with anyone else.

I wish I had a best friend.

my beloved pets were the only friends I had in my life

I wish, and don't wish at the same time, that you could feel like I do now about friends. It used to hurt from time to time when I was younger. Now I don't even want friends, I want to be alone and distant from others. I think it's like when someone can't move one of their limbs for a long time, it wastes away. I think my friendship department wasted away due to lack of activity. Now I don't care. But since you are in a situation where you do want friends, I hope you find something. Ideally, everyone should have friends. The thing with Honduras is probably to protect younger people from human trafficking, would be my guess.

... I don't feel particularly odd, but from my perspective, that's always the role I get placed in in any sort of social group -- the odd one out. ...

I came to the same conclusion about myself, and have even told people that, as a pre-emptive warning. I like to think it's an evolutionary thing. A few outliers help the tribe survive I guess.

Yes but he would need written permission from his abusive mom and not only that, he would have to explain to his mom why he needs to visit some internet friend IRL

I never had a friend in my whole life

losing friends is part of adult life

back then when I started university I made a small group of friends which I spent 4 years with studying, people you could count on to make you a favor, etc.

but after some years you lose contact with them as if nothing between you and them ever happened

whether you like it or not, thats the real life

sorry to ear that

but at the end we have no friends, just a bunch of people we have some interests in common and we decide to keep them near. And our paths tend to diverge as time goes and new responsabilities emerge

probably the concept of friendship is no longer a real thing in this world

Err...Im probably a little late, but yeah, I literally dont have any close irl friends either. My closest friend is also someone Ive never seen before and she lives on another continent, and theres no way I can meet her in the near future. Often I get really depressed by the fact, that I dont have anyone to talk to, except her. If you wanna talk, my dms are open

I can relate. I used to have friends and a social life. Then I became disabled and my life was consumed by chronic pain and chronic GI issues. No one likes being your friend when you're disabled. I have exactly one friend, I've never met her irl either and mostly we just send videos to each other. I don't have anyone I can just talk to.

I guess tbe one thing about having extreme chronic GI issues is that sooner rather than later my heart will give out. I cant eat anything anymore without suffering immensely so most days I barely eat anything. And while it sucks slowly starving to death idk at least I know my suffering has an expiration date and that I won't live to my 90s with these awful chronic illnesses.
