Anyone here have zero friends....maybe you had class room friends in high school but no real/close friends?
How do you deal with it emotionally?
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep? or maybe just cried because you were thinking of your future?

Yes it is true once you leave high school your social circle can scatter apart and most often drift away in one form or another. Some of your friends may depart from the city and head to college/university elsewhere, a few may move out on their own with their lovers and ta dah have kids, others may end up working long hours in some jobs, etc etc.
Some people can cope with this well and develop new friends due to their access via the environment they find themselves in (College, work programs, rec centres) ;
while others may have a tougher time finding common peers after high school. I for one was one of these people who had a rough time hooking up with former friends from high school and meeting new ones after graduating grade 12, several years back. I was living on my own for the first time with my g/f and struggled working in crappy jobs and dealing with all the other problems those who live at home with their parents can never understand until they walk it. Our health became effected due to our sudden poor eating habits, our stress level revolving around keeping a roof over our heads for sure effected us dearly, and being broke was no joke. So in short there was little time and money to connect with former high school buddies (some who i'm sure were dealing with their own issues too) or meet new friends.
To be honest, even today when things are a bit more financially, mentally, and physically better...... I don't go out with friends too often. I'm still too busy working and figuring out my life to really "hang" like the old days. Also it may be good to mention that a lot of these so called "friends" I've had in the past have either stabbed me in the back somehow or commit actions that often contradicted their words. Thus i am very aware of who I accept into my circle and those who I don't.

There's been times when I've felt alone. I've ended up ditching friends because I didn't like the path they were taking or they were getting involved in some heavy crap that wasn't for me. All you do is regroup, figure out your priorities and take it from there. ;)

Wow.... I guess this is a pretty touchy subject for some people. But yeah I find it pretty tough too after high school, then college was great, everyone meeting everyone. Then after graduation, people moved away for jobs or whatever. Kinda my case too. Sure living with my girlfriend thats great. But since I"m an independant contractor, I"m often out there on my own, doing my job, no boss to look over my shoulder but at the same time, no co-workers either. Sure, in my line of work, I meet over a hundred people or more a day, but its in the capacity of me selling to them.
So yeah, then coming home from work, doing what you got to do. Then sleep and next day work all over again. Kinda sucks, been thinking about taking hip hop dance classes, martials arts or something.
So yeah, its kinda lonely being an independant contractor I guess. I would envy my girlfriend, works at the same place, see the same people all the time, so then has time to develop relationships with her co-workers, etc.

- sounds like me. other than a very special g/f, i have basically no friends, that is, no one i can call up at any given time and say, hey, what are you doing.
- if i had to list friends, i would list ppl like co-workers, guys on my hockey team etc. the sad thing is, they probably wouldn't put me on their list 'cause they likely have many friends
How do you deal with it emotionally?
- its hard at times. to admit that you have few, if any friends outside of a partner is difficult, but i'm a realist so its not that bad. i don't consider her friends to be my friends. they are her friends and my acquaintances (sp).
- somewhere to being really depressed about it and really ignorant to the fact i have no friends is probably a reasonable response and is how i feel most of the time.
Have you ever cried yourself to sleep? or maybe just cried because you were thinking of your future?
- yes.

Yeahh most people have friends that arent true friends that can backstab you at anytime. to be honest i dont trust any of my friends most of them are going the wrong direction in there life. from doing drugs etc. but to be honest you cant just sit there and be depress about it, its hard to goto sleep if your not mentally strong enough but to be honest you just gotta wake up and realize that you have one life to live and if friends is what you need to make you happy then get friends by first starting by going to a recreational place, workplace, clubs or whatever your hobby is and if its something about yourself then just think about it and think about what you dont like about yourself and do you think peopel will like it too? and if its bad then change it.
i for one have friends but most of them i dont trust beacuse they can backstab you and they have be4. i have like mayb 2 good friends thats about it but im in grade 11 now in my high school just moved from markham to toronto and i barly know anyone ilv been there for 5 months now and i hang out with like 1 guy which feels weird because at my old school i knew everyone i guess its harder beacuse everyone gots there own little crew and they dont want anyone new you now and its werid. but thi sjust makes me stronger and a better person. i know that half my friends are fake and i realize that and i just figure out a way to make it better. you have your family which is good but there not always there but i have a dream which is to be an actor and i have an agent and stuff and im trying to get somewehre and i use all the things i hate baout like and just focus on things i really want and need and dream of.
woah i just wrote an essay lol sorry , im sure im gonna get some coments bad and good but yeah.
I think the reason why people don't like you is because you use too many run-on sentences. I stopped using them and I became mad popular.

I noticed alot of people, who dont have any friends, suffer from 3 things
low self esteem
fear of rejection
just dont want any friends
I did some guidance work at a public school and those are the trends I would notice.
only suggestion i would give is just to try to make friends, not caring what other people think of you or if you get rejected....

Let me attempt to clear some things out here.
First I'm sure many of us on here HAVE friends from High School, College, work, etc etc etc.
The THING is, some of us probably haven't seen these friends in over 1 or 2 years!!!
Yet they remain our friends right??? Long distance friends yes but, friends regardless.

its not like back in high school when you can chill every weekend, get drunk, and go to malls chasing girls like idiots.
As you get older people got full time jobs, school, and many other responsibilities that they cant run that kinda thing anymore.
Just try to enjoy what little you do have and cherish every moment. Dont take anything for granted...Yes it may suck that you could only go out drinking with some buddies on 1/2 price chicken wing night every other month, but youknow what... Cherish those moments b/c you never know, things could be much worst.
And if life does get ******... Just look around you. the world is a HUGE place, you can and will find ur place if you just re-evaluate your perspective on life.

It costs money to hang out with friends. So, when the friends aren't that great, interesting, or trustworthy, it just makes sense to hang out on RFD, (which is a lot more wittier and funny). Also, entering contests helps with getting your mind distracted, if you ever felt like crying about your life. And besides, eventually your distraction techniques will pay off and you will win something. The only thing is, if you win a movie double pass, you gotta ask your mom to go with you (and that might be embarassing if there are harsh sex scenes). :)

having too many friends is overrated. you only need one or two soul mates or buddies. any more and it's just more of an acquaintence... i mean it gets pretty boring and repetitive the second/third time I mention something to someone to share with them my challenges or difficulty or anger, etc.
problem though with having a small tight circle is that there is no "redundancy". you'll almost always have one buddy move out of town on you. one buddy who found new friends for $$$ or career or entertainment and then of course one buddy who turns out to be gay and doesn't want to tell you so he ends up hanging with his gay friends instead...
so now i've effectively contradicted myself... to answer this thread, i have more friends out of town than i have friends in town. i know a lot of people in town but I wouldn't call them my friends... save for the people I pulled onto RFD. :) HAHAHAHA

Once you get married and have kids you will be too busy to call up your old buddies anyways.

take it one step at a time - make the first move with someone you think you would hit it off with (neighbour, coworker, fellow student) etc and ask if he/she would like to get together for coffee or something small. get out and about and develop some interests outside of work or school - join a club, gym, volunteer or go to some events (car show or chapters bookstore events etc) and start a conversation with some people - it could lead to friendship.
take it easy and don't be hard on yourself. it's a cliche, but you need to be happy and comfortable with yourself before you can expect someone to take an interest in you. everyone has some things that they would like to improve in themselves so maybe this could be an opportunity for you to get out and work on it.
i'm trying to make a new friend from my volunteer position and i asked her to exchange phone #'s for coffee. i asked her to join me for a girl's night out of dancing with some friends and she turned me down. so, now i have to decide if i should pursue a friendship with her or let it drop. nothing is perfect... there are rejections.
take it in small steps and things will snowball before you know it. good luck. :)

When I had absolutely no friends, now I do thankfully, I deal it through talking with my parents. They are actually your friends after all. Friends for your whole life. I have never cried myself to sleep but I might have a tear here and there. Just remain optismistic about your future. You shouldn't let these things about having no friends dampen your spirit.

Need to be careful about that ^^^ and realize that you would need space and time apart from your girlfriend too. Need to find a time and day where you and your friends can be free and socialize. Trust me, all we ever did as a couple was be by each other 24/7 and it cost a lot from our relationship.
I guess we were so insecure and young at the time when we were living on our own. If only i could go back and fix everything i ever did wrong in a relationship but, you can't change the past right???
I bet if we trusted each other more and felt secure about ourselves we would have given each other space and gone out with our friends more often when the opportunity came. But like i said we were also struggling with bills and rent so, who knows what happened.

Its difficult to try to "make" friends, I dont mean produce friends like robots, but just the idea of forcing friendships with random people.
Usually you become friends with people you share experiences with, or at least thats the basis to lasting friendships viewing it in reverse.
Like from 8 years of highschool, 4 years of University, 3 years at some job, NavySeal DiveBuddy, etc...so these people stay in your mind and a bond forms over time if there was any chance to be friends in the first place.
All shared experiences. You cant make real friends on RFD, its just online, not real life.
So get out and do more things and you will make more friends, maybe. Dont hang around losers just to boost your friend count, like your post count.
Id say if you have 4-5 real friends over your life, youre a lucky guy.
Also try to be happy just by yourself first, if you cant do that you wont be any fun around friends.

Aside from my highschool friends, which I haven't seen in ages and probably will never again since I've moved, I really have no friends. I don't need people to feel sorry for me though. Don't. Cause I don't.
I'm comfortable with myself and the way things are going. Sure, it'd be nice if there was someone I can rely on and chit chat with every now and then. Might also be a personality thing as well. I rarely approach people proactively. Not that I can't socialize, but I'm just lazy in general and don't really say much to begin with.
I fell into the peer pressure and the whole society's expectation thing and tried before to form friendships and all I ever did was hurt myself emotionally. In the end it just wasn't worth it. Since I've moved to a new city, even though I have no friends, I feel MUCH better already.
With two full time jobs, I have no time for myself, nevermind a friend or girlfriend. If I can fit 6hrs of sleep in 3 days between two jobs I'll be a happy fella.
Different people have different priorities. Yours may be friendship. Mine is not. Society frowns upon those with no friends or social life. I say boo-fricken hoo to what society thinks.
I see people with 20-30 people on their MSN list and this one fella ask me "how many do you got?" and I thought what the heck is he trying to prove, is this a contest or something?? How many people on his list are true friends and how many are general acquantances? (sp?)
Anyways, now I'm just rambling.

I rarely approach people proactively. Not that I can't socialize, but I'm just lazy in general and don't really say much to begin with.
I fell into the peer pressure and the whole society's expectation thing and tried before to form friendships and all I ever did was hurt myself emotionally. In the end it just wasn't worth it. Since I've moved to a new city, even though I have no friends, I feel MUCH better already.
With two full time jobs, I have no time for myself, nevermind a friend or girlfriend. If I can fit 6hrs of sleep in 3 days between two jobs I'll be a happy fella.
Different people have different priorities. Yours may be friendship. Mine is not. Society frowns upon those with no friends or social life. I say boo-fricken hoo to what society thinks.
I see people with 20-30 people on their MSN list and this one fella ask me "how many do you got?" and I thought what the heck is he trying to prove, is this a contest or something?? How many people on his list are true friends and how many are general acquantances? (sp?)
Anyways, now I'm just rambling.
that's a LIL too extreme i think u still need to socialize with at least 1-2 friends to be healthy mentally... dont wanna turn into all goth and stuff now do you ;)

Ever since I got into a relationship, I spent less time with my friends because I would spent lot of time with her. It felt like she alone filled my social void completely, well maybe not as completely. This is because I don't have that male bonding/male relationship I used to have with my guy buddies anymore, where we would get drunk/get high/joke around endlessly. I wouldn't mind that once in a awhile but time is not on my side. I goto school fulltime and work all weekend. By thte time I get home after work, I'm beat - end up listening to music and msn with 'internet buddies' about RFD, computers which are mostly made out of nerds, and clubbing isn't probably their thing or going to a bar to get drunk.
I kind of accepted this is how life is. You are disconnected from the friends due to a g/f, work, school. I can't imagine how it will be like when I start working. :eek:

I noticed alot of people, who dont have any friends, suffer from 3 things
low self esteem
fear of rejection
just dont want any friends
I did some guidance work at a public school and those are the trends I would notice.
only suggestion i would give is just to try to make friends, not caring what other people think of you or if you get rejected....
sounds like dating service....
Xanax / ativan.....problem solved...(beware: These are happy pills which r highly addictive in nature)..but the sad truth is that pdocs are more than happy to prescribe them...and ruin lifes...in the long run

Hmm... this thread is somewhat disturbing.
I think a big problem these days is that people put such a large emphasis on going overboard with education (read: graduate school), or spend way too much time working hard at work, with the goal of earning more money.
Having friends and an active social life will provide you with infinitely more fun and happiness than those things ultimately will. Try and balance things out.

First of all, how many people on your MSN list shouldn't really matter. It doesnt really say much. Plus, 20-30 is very few to begin with, even my friend who isn't all that social has way more than that.
