Anyone else here has no social connections besides family?

[Retroguy]

I am a 36 year old male and I have no friends and no gf.
It's one of the reasons I want to ctb.

 

[smileyy]

Family is one of the main reasons I want to CTB
Look at my one and only post. Hmu man, let's talk

 

[TheGoodGuy]

Yup my only "friends" is my family, you know you hit loserville when the only people who comment on your new profile pictures on social media is family (i.e loser right here me)

 

[Lost_my_soul]

My family and friends treat me well only if I have money , once I run out of it, they disappear, I wish people really love a person irrespective of how bad things go.

 

[foreverfalling]

Yeah just my immediate family. No friends, no relationship, don't talk to people at work. If it means being someone I'm not then I don't even want social connections anymore.

 

[Letmedienow]

I finally stood up for myself and cut out anyone who was abusive or supported my abusers and that left me completely alone, no friends or family. People tell you to fight back and stand up for yourself but what they don't tell you is how many people would rather support an abuser than admit to what they did and apologize and be a good person. Fuck em all though, I'm ok with being isolated and alone if it means I'm not tolerating abusive idiots.

 

[AlePizarnik]

I don't even have family

 

[FuneralCry]

Yes but I don't want any either, it's better to be alone away from the cruelty of humans and such a thing just doesn't interest me anyway.

 

[manuel1056x]

Feel the same. I'm 18 years old and also have no really friends and of course not an gf (I'm not ready for a relationship. but even if I were, it wouldn't work. I would never dare to talk to someone). It really kills me when I see groups of friends or something like that, because I know that I will never have something like that. Because of this I also thinking about ctb.

 

[Lost21]

In my entire life I have never had a true friend

 

[tpboy]

One family member who is 92 and 1 friend.

 

[Ferret77]

The irony of loneliness, is that we all feel it at the same time. I suppose I'm not entirely isolated, but whether I feel connected to anyone at this point, that is an entirely different question....

 

[Darkover]

just my mum no friends no gf for decades

 

[seekingpeacefulend]

I have no social connections also no family. Financially screwed disability that requires money to be comfortable and getting worse.

My family and friends treat me well only if I have money , once I run out of it, they disappear, I wish people really love a person irrespective of how bad things go.

This.

I supported people when I had money gave tens of thousands away to make sure they didn't suffer and the person who I gave 96k to supporting her fully when she had nothing says I'm not giving you any money because you can't pay it back. I worked hard for my money that I have now. Even said when I needed Dr.... you need your pills or your
Ll get sick and end up in hospital. At least you'll get free meds then. She's also stood by while I've gone all winter with no power. . I only had user friends fake friends because I'm a worthless piece of crap ugly old pathetic with no hope. Only thing they wanted from me was money. I'm I was wirthanything I'd have friends niw considering how many I helped. Not one ph call not one visit. No offers of help I'm disabled. I earn got adked by this batch who I helped whyhavent I killed myself yet

 

[Death is beautiful]

same shit. now i have 4 little kittens and my family, ppl thinks im bored and i think one of the reasons is that im ugly. Lol in childhood you don't need anything to get friends, but with age everything becomes more complicated, I don't see sincerity in modern relationships. My kittens are much more loyal to me than anyone. Seriously, such a big problem that there are no people in this fucking world who are interested in living with me, everyone throws me, robbing me in the middle of the night and writing me nasty things in the dm as it was recently, even when my work was going well and I was ready to support someone from my friends so that they lived with me, no one really I agreed, I think I somehow cause people to dislike me

 

[haibane]

yes, even if i prefer to be alone most of the times. My family is also a huge part of why i want to ctb

 

[IBM0000]

I do. I'd say 1-2 online users are "friends". I can't have friends with the same interest as mine because, in my country, leftist voices are censored so it'll probably continue this way for the next 30 years.

 

[Lamentice]

No family, they were the first to leave. No friends either, no one at all.

 

[bigdipper420]

Family is all i have

 

[wildflowers1996]

sometimes I wonder what would happen if everyone here moved into a communal house - would it make life bearable for a lot of people here? like creating a family for people who don't have any. most people here seem so nice

 

[Unhumanly.]

I have no connection outside my job, but I don't even know to call the things I have with the other workers here as an actual connection because we're just people doing our job because it's a must, and there's nothing more, it's not that they're my friends

My family in the other hand.
Eh.

 

[bridgegirl]

Me. But I don't have family, either. I have about two friends that live by me, but they are.. not great. One is a flake and just very strange, and the other is selfish and unreliable. I can't seem to make friends with anyone else. It doesn't help that no one here shares my values and beliefs (I am pretty open-minded and accepting, most people here are.. not).

 

[jinx <3]

It sucks, but the world we live in is very individualistic and isolates us to those we are born with and those we work/go to school with. I wish it weren't this way and that it was more common to just make friends with people everywhere you go. That feels to me like it would vastly improve the world in countless ways, which is perhaps why it hasn't happened. I believe in humanity, despite all of the evidence that humans are bad, and I hope to inspire that hope in others. Maybe connecting with people who aren't family members/peers/coworkers is the first step in making changes for the better. This all sounds wishy-washy, sorry! Not very good with the whole philosophical stuff. But I hope you find others who you can truly connect with on a deep level, in the way all of us need <3.

Probably I would just be terribly annoyed by everyone, and in turn annoy everyone.

I've given up on finding anyone who doesn't annoy me in some way.

And when I've put up with them they in turn apparently were annoyed with me too in ways I can't even guess, usually because I don't just passively do whatever they want me to do. I don't put on anything fake, I'm not particularly sweet, I say what I think and people invariably take offense at me.

I've noticed the most likeable girls don't say much about their real thoughts and they are very very careful about what they say or talk about to everyone. I can't do that.

 

[EvisceratedJester]

I have no social connections outside of my family and I'm fine with that. Friendships are too stressful to maintain and I always end up becoming paranoid about if they actually even like me or not. I decided on not bothering with with friendships anymore in grade 11, during the beginning of lockdown, and so far I haven't had any regrets.
