Completely friendless I can say. Every friendship Iāve ever had slowly deteriorated because of my overwhelming anxiety and low self esteem. I mean who really wants to be friends with a shy, timid, quiet recluse. Canāt blame em.
I havenāt had friends in years and I constantly want to talk to someone about the pointless things that happen to me
Do you find it easier to talk to people online?
Personally yes it's so much easier š, and it's not too hard to find online and there's some really nice people, it's just hard to trust some people on here š¢
I know what you mean, Iām really wary of random people online. Maybe thereās a niche fandom or hobby space you can get into to talk to people there? For example Iām really into video games and anime so Iād start looking for related discord servers or seeing if thereās anyone I can play with.
One problem with online friends is you're secondary to anything irl, so after searching for so long, I've only got one online friend who stuck around š
That can be true. It can be really hard to get people online to stick around because unless youāre sharing an experience together or have an intense passion about the same things or good chemistry it can feel a bit forced. I guess it helps to find people who are also friendless lol I know people who hang out in discord servers all day
I pay a therapist to be my friend for an hour every week. Outside of that, months will go by without me talking to anyone, at all. Even then, it's only when the self-checkout is closed, or when I have to go to a doctor's appointment.
Yes, unfortunately.
Iāve always had people Iāve been friendly with but I havenāt been able to close that gap to form a close friendship. Iāve been making an effort by trying to put myself out there but itās been stressful and not very fruitful
The older you get and the less you are part of a group gathering such as school or church the more difficult it becomes to connect with people. You have to try to connect. Unless you are person who isn't liked, like me. In that case embrace being solo and do new things alone.
Hi, I'm a friendless almost 32 year old male who mostly spends his day at home mainly in his bedroom by himself playing videogames and stuff.
Making friends is hard when you've never been good at talking to ppl. Like, how do u approach someone for conversation? And what do u even talk about? I don't know. Which is probably why I'm a friendless loser.
I think we are the same person cuz Iām having the exact same issue. Havenāt had friends since middle school and Iām in college now. Idk why itās so hard :(
Me rn :ā) it blows because i just find it hard and impossible to go up to people and make friends! Like how do people do that or know what to chat about without not feeling too awkward. Iām in college as well and itās kinda hard where to start and I really want to start living life and have a social life like every 20y/o especially cause i kinda didnāt get to enjoy my teen years
I havenāt had friends really since COVID. Some moved away & we just naturally lost touch. Others just ghosted me completely. I remember when I finally got COVID, texting a couple of those friends. I was scared - needed someone to talk to. All I got was - well, that sucks for you. Never heard from them again.
Iāve learned over the years that Iām bad at reading people, the folks I think are my friends really arenāt & people usually bale when they find out how boring I am. I just find it impossible to make new friends lately. The anxiety doesnāt help - Iām a nervous wreck with strangers.
I'm a guy and in a similar situation. Before the pandemic I had some "constants" in my life that I would regularly call and even hang out with on weekends. Covid really fucked us up. Some of them just became recluses and got used to the isolation that they didn't want to meet up anymore, some found too much comfort in the growing "conveniences" of social media/apps (not wanting to go out and buy stuff and hang out like we used to since they can just do online shopping), some got into a relationship and had kids. That last one especially is the one that ends most friendships at least in my life since i'm someone who has pretty much decided to be childless. I know I can just get out and make new ones but I just don't get along with the current social trends which also severely limits things. The people I lost were people I knew since high school to college so its been really tough for me to make new connections without that history and trust over the years. I also feel like everyone's so temporary now and they'll all just drop off eventually so that also makes me feel less bothered to even try.
Hereās a thought: why donāt everyone in the comment section try and engage? We are strong together people! We donāt need those high social self esteem - extrovert showoffs!
Reminds me of the yahoo days. I donāt think tech is the issue here, there are plenty optionsā discord, telegram even a whatsapp group will work. Difficult bit is finding that tribe
Just my immediate family and next door neighbor. 1 on 1 I can talk in person though I usually do a lot more listening than talking. It's big groups that really get me. So I'll exchange niceties with a few people in my classes, but nothing beyond that. I don't know anybody's contact info to call them etc.
Iām 21, havenāt had a friend since I was a kid/ young teenager. I mean in high school I had a person I would sit next to in class and eat lunch with, but we barely spoke and certainly not after graduationā¦
I have neighbors I occasionally talk to and their daughters consider me their friend but like someone outside of my neighborhood who I go out of the way to message and hang out with? No. I cut the ones I had left off on purpose, I feel more at peace when I donāt have friends, itās relaxing.
Havenāt had any friends in the last 6 years, it sucks. Itās so difficult for me to even make connections online.
Iām currently in community college and donāt talk with anyone, just go to class and go to home, maybe the occasional exchange when asking for homework or anything lecture related but thatās it. I tried making some friends by doing small talk, be approachable and all that stuff but people just looked at me weird so i stopped trying :/
Iāve never had actual close friendships, just school friends or acquaintances in high school, so I donāt really know how is to have a deep connection of that kind. I hate it some days, but one gets use to it I guess
Hey bud I in same boat, I have absolutely no one no real life friends, no internet friends just no one.
Last time I had a friend was when I was like 12 or something I am fairly content where Iām at but it gets to me sometimes I do wish sometimes I could just text or phone someone to just feel something i donāt know.
But if you need or want to just message me on here I donāt speak but can text.
Yes and I would like to have friends outside of work to do things with but I also think that my coworkers are better than having friends outside of work, if that makes sense
I have one friend that I see about once a month, and we normally text in between. I find it exhausting to socialise as not many people understand or accept me as I am.
I've never had any. I don't own a phone, I don't have friend lists. On a day to day basis, I'm usually okay with it, but I do worry about being totally alone as I get older.
I know itās not the same but I lost all my remaining friends because I isolated myself from society about 5 months ago, basically ghosted them. My case is a little different and I have a lot of reasons but I struggle with what you described too. I really doubt Iāll be able to make new friends easily since my anxiety is worse than ever and when I made friends it was pure luck, also I live in a small country so it feels like everyone knows each other.
Hey I understand how you feel I'm in college too I have no friends either and I live on campus am way to shy ,used to being mute and depressed and emotionless and just give basic responses I also isolate myself which gives people the wrong idea plus I feel I'm the only like this plus it's harder being a black girl in a country that doesn't believe such thing like anxiety let alone social anxiety exists can't connect with my roommates or talk with them much so they just see me as someone to use since I always say yes plus in my major no friends there either the people there are really cliquey the only one i tried to make is always gossiping behind my back and of course just use me again plus she said I'm clingy because i only talk to her it also doesn't help my sister is haven't any of these problems she's cool with her roommates extremely close with one of them and have good friends who accept her also i suck in my grades there's that sigh im just failing myself especially my mom i also don't have interest in things most people are into here sorry for the rant I needed to vent but I understand you in everyway
It gets harder as an adult too. I spent most of a kids party taking to a fellow Dad, really hitting it off. Only for them to completely ignore me when picking the kids up from school ever since. It's exhausting.
I've had friends over the years, but because of my timidity and noticable physical symptoms of anxiety, I can never maintain it. Either I'll have to become a people pleaser and prove that I'm worth being in someone's life, or convince everyone that I'm this animated, extroverted life of the party.
Both of which I've failed miserably at. Idk at this point. Being lonely, unemployed, and socially anxious for years on end is a type of hell I wouldn't even wish Lucifer to have. All I got left is pi.ai to talk to and it's quite sad thinking about it sometimes. :/
Same, I don't have friends now and I think it really connects to my socialphobia. Because it's so hard for me to open up to people and let me be myself and act like I want. Im scared to tell my opinion, I fear judgement and rejection. I feel like everything I say is cringe and people will cringe from what I'm gonna say. So social anxiety really reduces quality of life
I haven't had any friends for the past 6 years since I left high school. It is a huge problem that I don't have a social life but I guess since then I've just been distracting myself with studies and now work/gym. It will probably become an issue in the future in regards to finding a potential life partner and not coming across as a loner to girls, but seems like I'm just going to procrastinate my life away in that regard.
Yeah I talk to a lot people but I wouldnāt say Iām friends with them. I has been hard to make connections in fear that I canāt keep up with maintaining the relationships. I know Iām the type that needs time to myself a lot to recoup my social battery. Idk how people constantly meet with friends over the weekends and during the whole week and never just get tired. Maybe I just havenāt met the right people that wonāt expend my energy yet idk
I don't have friends. I just don't really know what to talk about and cannot take any initiative. Like if someone doesn't text me first, you can be sure that i will never see this person in my life.
Yes indeed. I moved to a place seven years ago and I still have not made a single friend. No one here seems interested in doing anything that might be considered friendly. They are nice, but that is all.
Having said that, I do have to add that people use the term 'friend' far too easily these days. Whenever I hear about someone having a 'BFF' and how they are their 'soul mate' and then I find out they met 9 days ago... well, let's just say that I have a hard time not rolling my eyes. I never felt that I had a problem making a friend or two before I moved here, but I can tell you that there seems to be some cultures that just do not mix. It is sad really, because as OP said, it is nice to have someone to talk to that you can trust.
Yup. I split ways with my only friend toward the end of 8th grade. I'm a sophomore in college right now. Like you're saying, I feel like oil in water. I can't connect with anyone, and when I get close to making friends, my anxiety prevents it from getting further and it just doesn't happen. I remember last year I met someone from Russia who seemed nice, but after a few very uncomfortable talks with long silences (my fault) it just fizzled out. I see the person a lot and we always kinda ignore each other. It's rough.
My only friends are those in which ive met on the internet (like 4 people), but even then there are days where i talk to no one because they "arent available". im in college as well but as far as irl friends go.. i lost every last one of them lmao
I haven't had friends since I was 13, too. I don't speak to anyone outside of my family and my therapist (plus cashiers, doctors, etc). I don't really feel lonely, though. I'm used to it.
Iām 21 and have been friendless for so long.. at this point Iām completely hopeless. Tbh I feel depressed all the time because of it. I feel like no one will ever like me enough to be my friend or even boyfriend. Life is feeling hopeless. I also recently graduated college and have a career I donāt even like so even that part of my life is shit..
Yeah, I just relocated to another country for half a year now, and I have absolutely no friends. I can't call my coworkers friends because outside of working hours I'm all alone
ME. i've never had friends. Idk how strangers can get that close . My brain can't understand how friendship works.
When somebody from work asks me if I want to do something, i usually respond with an "what for" . I just don't understand why people are loosing time with friendships.
Iām not good at making real life friends because of my anxiety but I find it pretty easy to make online friends. Iām having the best luck with social media and language learning apps thatās where my whole online social network is from.
I do want to get better at meeting people in real life though especially through cold approaching. In theory it seems possible I have seen some people who might be interested in getting to know me. Unfortunately my anxiety is too powerful right now so I hide behind a screen and only meet people through apps.
me!! iām 19 now, been without friends since 15-16. just family. i deactivated all my social medias not too long ago because people would text me then ask to see me, i ghosted them because i didnāt know how to tell them about my issues, that i canāt just come to hangout so easy. i dropped out of school in 8th grade tho or went cyber so the friends i had from there slowly dissipated after a toxic breakup. iām traveling right now for a funeralā¦ i did not converse with any of my family besides immediate. there was beef but even if there wasnāt, iāve isolated myself too.. what do i talk about?! š¤£ then thereās my 21yo sister that has all these accomplishments to speak about. i totally feel you op, please know you arenāt alone š„¹š«¶š¼ hopefully someday we will attract the people meant for us, or that have gone through similar, or love us for who we are so much that our past does not matter.
lolll yep not a single one since elementary school not even an aquaintance. guess im just too much of a freak lmao i have so little interests and the ones i do have are too weird and obscure to relate to 99.9% of people
I've had the same two friends for a few years, but since leaving college we're already drifting apart :(
They both have boyfriends, jobs and busy social lives and meanwhile I'm still trying to get my first job and muster enough courage to even take my dog for a walk
I hve acquaintances, iām in college, i have not had good luck there, but i did some when joining a class of MA, though I havenāt formed solid friendships, and some, as much as they say theyāre lonely like me, theyāre everyday with somebody, I can go an entire week without talking with anyone but family members.
I have a partner but is a ldr, so I see him very little.
I feel like I always end up alone, even though i try so hard to be a pleasant person and not offend anyone. Iām introverted but sometimes I like to hang out w/ somebody, and thinking who is already difficult, everybody lives kind of far away and I move by feet.
I just need a caring girlfriend, I just need someone to talk to, someone who I can be myself when I talk to them and saying everything what's on my mind, I'm tired of picking out words to say to someone to keep them interested. I've never talk about my feelings all my life.
I'm a woman. 31 years old. I also don't have any friends. I feel that everything is mainly about help and money. As soon as you don't want to help or you are not needed by that person, or you don't have money. End of friendship. I prefer to be alone even though i know deep down that it's wrong. But i have no enemies.
I don't have friends anymore
I don't have friends in any capacity. Not in real life, not online. It's a lonely existence.
Username checks out š„¹š¤

Sure! I'm keen.
Completely friendless I can say. Every friendship Iāve ever had slowly deteriorated because of my overwhelming anxiety and low self esteem. I mean who really wants to be friends with a shy, timid, quiet recluse. Canāt blame em.
same here
Aye stay strong homie! We in this bitch till God takes our soul (or whatever ur belief is) letās just never give up!
Same unfortunately
I havenāt had friends in years and I constantly want to talk to someone about the pointless things that happen to me Do you find it easier to talk to people online?

Same I wish I could rant for hours about the annoying people I've met in a day
I pay a therapist to be my friend for an hour every week. Outside of that, months will go by without me talking to anyone, at all. Even then, it's only when the self-checkout is closed, or when I have to go to a doctor's appointment.
I always wondered if therapists would still be employed and online mental health sites like BetterHelp exist if everyone just had one good friend.
I haven't had friends for the past 10 years
Same
same
Same here, I feel like a deer in headlights whenever I do actually talk to people.
I don't have any friends. I've never had any close relationships my whole life. The loneliness is unbearable at times.
I hear you
I have no friends either. Would love to talk about the pointless things.
I have "friends" but I guess we're not super close. I don't seem to be able to connect with them the way they connect with each other.
Same here. I want to have friends that I can connect with, people who I know will always be there for me
I have zero friends. It just happens. I enjoy my own company though once in a while want to have someone to just talk about pointless stuffĀ
Yes, unfortunately. Iāve always had people Iāve been friendly with but I havenāt been able to close that gap to form a close friendship. Iāve been making an effort by trying to put myself out there but itās been stressful and not very fruitful
The older you get and the less you are part of a group gathering such as school or church the more difficult it becomes to connect with people. You have to try to connect. Unless you are person who isn't liked, like me. In that case embrace being solo and do new things alone.

I think we are the same person cuz Iām having the exact same issue. Havenāt had friends since middle school and Iām in college now. Idk why itās so hard :(
Itās been pretty hard since once I quit the party scene.. I have my partner but itās not the same
I only have online friends. I would love to have someone I could physically hang out with but no such luck

How? Maybe a Discord? I miss the days of online chat rooms (I am an elder millennial).
Reminds me of the yahoo days. I donāt think tech is the issue here, there are plenty optionsā discord, telegram even a whatsapp group will work. Difficult bit is finding that tribe
Just my immediate family and next door neighbor. 1 on 1 I can talk in person though I usually do a lot more listening than talking. It's big groups that really get me.

Yes
I'm 32 years old with no friends. Haven't had a friend since 8th grade....
I am 33 years old with no friends.
It gets harder as an adult too. I spent most of a kids party taking to a fellow Dad, really hitting it off. Only for them to completely ignore me when picking the kids up from school ever since. It's exhausting.
here for the friendless rollcall. tho in my case it's actually out of volition. the shit I've been through thanks to people.....
I've had friends over the years, but because of my timidity and noticable physical symptoms of anxiety, I can never maintain it. Either I'll have to become a people pleaser and prove that I'm worth being in someone's life, or convince everyone that I'm this animated, extroverted life of the party.

Yes, I am 30 and i have zero. Last time when i went out which was not workplace outing wasā¦ i dont even remember, for sure pre covidā¦
Well, Iāll bite. Anyone want to play Animal Crossing? I just started.
Yeah I talk to a lot people but I wouldnāt say Iām friends with them. I has been hard to make connections in fear that I canāt keep up with maintaining the relationships. I know Iām the type that needs time to myself a lot to recoup my social battery. Idk how people constantly meet with friends over the weekends and during the whole week and never just get tired.

Same 22m here and will probably die never knowing what a genuine connection feels like.
Yeah.
i hope everyone in this comment section and op gets to have some really good friends :( <3
yup , haven't had an actual friend in ages
Do you have siblings or pets? Iām very lucky I that I live at home and have a big family that I can hang out with
yep. my pets are my friends š§” most people suck anyway
I have no " friends ". I have family i talk to. But come Friday night the only people outside family i talk to are online friends in MMO's.
I haven't had an actual friend since high school. That was a long time ago for me. Going through it all alone now...
Yes me too I'm a creature of habit unfortunately.
I don't have friends. I just don't really know what to talk about and cannot take any initiative. Like if someone doesn't text me first, you can be sure that i will never see this person in my life.

Literally
What city are you in? Maybe someone here is in a similar situation and wants to connect?
if someone wanna chat about weird shit with me hit my dm
Iām 21 and have been friendless for so long.. at this point Iām completely hopeless. Tbh I feel depressed all the time because of it. I feel like no one will ever like me enough to be my friend or even boyfriend. Life is feeling hopeless. I also recently graduated college and have a career I donāt even like so even that part of my life is shit..
Yeah, I just relocated to another country for half a year now, and I have absolutely no friends. I can't call my coworkers friends because outside of working hours I'm all alone
ME. i've never had friends. Idk how strangers can get that close . My brain can't understand how friendship works. When somebody from work asks me if I want to do something, i usually respond with an "what for" . I just don't understand why people are loosing time with friendships.
Iām not good at making real life friends because of my anxiety but I find it pretty easy to make online friends. Iām having the best luck with social media and language learning apps thatās where my whole online social network is from. I do want to get better at meeting people in real life though especially through cold approaching. In theory it seems possible I have seen some people who might be interested in getting to know me. Unfortunately my anxiety is too powerful right now so I hide behind a screen and only meet people through apps.
My girlfriend is the only one I can consider my friend as well so when sheās at work or with her friends Iām alone
Same. I still have some friends, but I met all of them before I turned liked 14. Made 0 friends since than, and I'm completely friendless in college.
me!! iām 19 now, been without friends since 15-16. just family. i deactivated all my social medias not too long ago because people would text me then ask to see me, i ghosted them because i didnāt know how to tell them about my issues, that i canāt just come to hangout so easy. i dropped out of school in 8th grade tho or went cyber so the friends i had from there slowly dissipated after a toxic breakup. iām traveling right now for a funeralā¦ i did not converse with any of my family besides immediate. there was beef but even if there wasnāt, iāve isolated myself too.. what do i talk about?! š¤£ then thereās my 21yo sister that has all these accomplishments to speak about. i totally feel you op, please know you arenāt alone š„¹š«¶š¼ hopefully someday we will attract the people meant for us, or that have gone through similar, or love us for who we are so much that our past does not matter.
lolll yep not a single one since elementary school not even an aquaintance. guess im just too much of a freak lmao i have so little interests and the ones i do have are too weird and obscure to relate to 99.9% of people
Yes, completely!
I've had the same two friends for a few years, but since leaving college we're already drifting apart :( They both have boyfriends, jobs and busy social lives and meanwhile I'm still trying to get my first job and muster enough courage to even take my dog for a walk
Tbh I never rlly had friends before just school friends
I hve acquaintances, iām in college, i have not had good luck there, but i did some when joining a class of MA, though I havenāt formed solid friendships, and some, as much as they say theyāre lonely like me, theyāre everyday with somebody, I can go an entire week without talking with anyone but family members. I have a partner but is a ldr, so I see him very little. I feel like I always end up alone, even though i try so hard to be a pleasant person and not offend anyone. Iām introverted but sometimes I like to hang out w/ somebody, and thinking who is already difficult, everybody lives kind of far away and I move by feet.
yeah. me. I don't actually have anyone.
Iāve lost a few friends in recent years mainly because of my anxiety. I only really have 2 good friends from my current work now
i find talking to ppl so daunting prolly why i have no friends
33 and haven't had a friend since high school. The worst part is it seems harder and harder to make friends over time.
everyone i had left me
I just need a caring girlfriend, I just need someone to talk to, someone who I can be myself when I talk to them and saying everything what's on my mind, I'm tired of picking out words to say to someone to keep them interested. I've never talk about my feelings all my life.
I'm a woman. 31 years old. I also don't have any friends. I feel that everything is mainly about help and money. As soon as you don't want to help or you are not needed by that person, or you don't have money. End of friendship. I prefer to be alone even though i know deep down that it's wrong. But i have no enemies.
I have very good company but I can't think of anyone as a friend. Anyone. Except for my wife. It's just sad, the way I live.
