Anyone else here with no friends?

[xo_bunni]

I literally have zero friends. I've deliberately cut myself off from everyone in school and college. I barely interact with my family anymore and the only people I talk to outside family are my work colleagues. I dislike most of them and the feeling is mutual.

Just to clarify I have no desire whatsoever to reconnect with anyone from my past or make new friends. This isn't a cry for help or anything. I'm just curious to see if there's anyone else here in the same boat.

real asf. it's just hard for me to feel connected to anyone. i want close friendships but getting to know most people on a deeper level makes me realize how different we are and i end up isolating again. if not that, then something else always happens leaving me alone again

I had great set of friends before. It is a big part of the reason I want to let go is because I've lost them permanently.

 

[LapseInTime]

Absolutely none! Even when I did manage to "have a friend" -they put in all the work- I never considered them to be my "friend" even though they would consider me to be theirs. I can't take care of myself, much less connect with someone and try to maintain a friendship. But then again, I know some family members who do have friends, yet still feel stuck, alone and deserted.

I don't have any friends. I'm not that good at small talk or social situations. People can often sense my discomfort and don't know how to respond. I'm usually guarded and have a hard time trusting others. I've been hurt so many times that I've closed myself off. It's like a cycle, the more I push people away, the less likely I am to make genuine connections.

I'm sorry to hear. If any of you want to chat or even call or watch like a netflix movie together or whatever let me know, I am happy to do that.

I also used to have no friends and taught myself how to do it. I could be that for you.

Not sure how long I will be around still but it's the least I can do to help since I will also be happier if you are my friend.

 

[lnlybnny]

Definitely. No friends here too. I'm extremely bored of having to talk to people and I always felt human relations always just brings mess and annoyance into life.

Zero friends, zero family. Havent had family in years, but just recent lost the last of my friends. It is both easier and harder without them.

I have none. I've never been able to make friends. Even when people take interest in me it's like I can't reciprocate even if I want to. Im unable to feel close to other people, or feel anything for them at all really. Sometimes I wonder if I'm a sociopath because I feel like the part of my brain responsible for interpersonal connections is completely broken

Thanks man. I do appreciate your kindness. But I really would prefer to be alone. I don't see a future for myself and I'm in the middle of pre-CTB stuff including making my will and closing out any outstanding financial obligations

 

[warriorkot]

yes. i cut contact with all my real life friends awhile ago, me and my ex see each other every now and then. having friends is too much responsibility

 

[Jeklah]

Yeah I don't have any friends. They all cut me off eventually one by one.

I've tried reaching out to the ones I was close with but they don't seem to reach back.

I cut all my "friends" out and deleted all social media last year. I feel incredibly lonely even though I have online friends. I never really had a true IRL friend. I hope i will some day...

The friends I cut out wasn't really friends either way, just forced friendship from school. They never bothered to contact me or check if i'm okay, so I doubt they give a shit anyways.
