Friendless (G)

Ive never had these close friendships that many talk about.


I cant say I have ever missed it.
Ive moved around, been busy with my life and always found that others want/ need more from me than I can or want to give and I find that I dont get that same support or warmth from them ..so I let them drift away.

But if you need it then you have to work at it. Do you have any special hobbies or is there something you would like to learn? Because sometimes joining a class or group is an easy way to meet people with a shared interest making it easier to make friends. After all you cant just wander up to someone on the street and say hey be my friend...

Once you have friends you have to be willing to invest in them . Listen to them, support but not judge, and nurture them like fragile plants..

I know I make it sound like hard work but thats how it feels for me..

So I hope you stick around here, use us for practice we are real people behind these keyboards ..we laugh and cry and we all support each other just as friends in the real world do..

Likewise, I am not that great at making real life friends. I have a couple from childhood, but we live far apart, so we are primarily on telephone friends really.

If I wanted real life friends I would join classes where people interact, like learning a foreign language, or cooking.

Meanwhile, you could do a lot worse than join us in here. This is where all the best hang out.

Can you be a HUGE introvert? 

Uh huh. LOL

I wonder, if our guest is still around and reading these replies to her original post.
Do they make you feel better about not having friends?
Does it in anyway comfort you that there are other people who like yourself haven't had the opportunity or haven't been able to make friends for whatever reason?
Or do our replies just plunge you into despair???

I would hope it would make it feel normal... but look at all of us outcasts making friends with each other here

Pfft

I see you left me out..........

You ladies in this forum are very comfortable to converse with. This is where I go to when I need answers to my questions or when I need someone to chat with. Virtual or reality doesn't matter, I think you are real friends.

I feel the same way Annie. ❤️

help  each other here

I'm the opposite... I never want to be popular. I hate attention most of the time lol

Well, in that case I have good news.  

You were voted least popular person on the forum. 

I don't want to be popular either but I have lived too long, work too long in the same community, talk to too many people, I guess I am known, does not mean popular.
