Discussion Anyone else have literally no friends?

[Pixiep]

I have absolutely none by now. Absolutely no one to talk to except maybe my boyfriend, who has been my best friend for 4 years.. Xcept now Im losing him to. Most days i barely see him as he has started to ignore me often and avoid having to see me most times. So yeah for the sake of this discussion might as well say I have no one.

[deadgirlahsatan]

I have no friends in real life except my kitty. I try to distract myself. Reading,watching a movie or series ,playing app games, listening to music. It helps but of course not a lot.

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

I don't honestly think I would enjoy friends anymore, I don"'t seem to get on with anyone anymore to me it's honestly bizarre how I ever became like this and everyone seems to dislike me when once I got on with most people.

 

[bravotess]

I'd say I have 1 person I can really talk to. It's interesting to see who's around when things get tough.

 

[WinterFaust]

No friends irl here either. The loneliness gets to me a lot, honestly, which feeds my depression and makes it hard to get better. I don't have an SO either and I live with my mom who actually hates me so it's not great. I read manga or webcomics constantly to try to fill the void because I don't currently have the capacity to do much else. I cry a lot and pet my cat tbh.

 

[fettuccinee]

I have like 2 friends and my twin brother but it's hard to talk about anything with them. I just play games a lot and hug my pet duck.

 

[ritsulover]

I dont have any irl friends and never have since maybe middle school, which at this point was 7 years ago. I have very few people I would call my friend that I know online but I know how people operate now. I'll keep most at a distance

 

[IsThisTheEnd?]

the only thing that makes me anxious is being the guy with no friends god you must be weird etc this makes me anxious.

 

[TheQ22]

No friends at all. Only speak to parents, sister and kids.

Haven't actually been out with someone for a drink etc for nearly 2 years.

Shit now I'm even more depressed

 

[Pixiep]

Damn...2 people mentioned cats...mine passed away just before a year old from a disease .. I raised him since he was 2 weeks old ...bottle fed him. He became so attached to my bf and i as his parents that he slept in our arms baby style every night from thd day we got him until our last night with him. We tried everything but 3 thousand dollars later and we still couldnt save him. I dont think my heart has ever recovered. He was like our baby. It happened a little over a year ago and i still shed tears for him.often. the loneliness has been a constant since.

He was orange and his name was Oliver, like the orange kitty from Oliver and Company. We called him Oli usually. When I named him I hadnt actually seen the movie since a child. I knew the kitty , but i couldnt have told you the plot line or any of the songs anymore.

I looked up songs from it the next day..and found the one "Good company" ....and tbh my heart will never fucking recover.
I wanted to attach the video but having trouble, so heres the lyrics..

And it doesnt say it but at the end she tucks him into bed and says "goodnight oliver"
...Oli had been put down in my arms.. I had said the same thing.

Hold ur kitties close please :(

I really don't have anyone left besides people on here. All my other friends disappeared once things got tough for me which shows they weren't true friends anyway. So now it's just me, myself and I and it sucks.

Pm me if you wanna? Love ur handle by the way.

 

[Nymph]

I do have friends but none that I can trust 100% and would tell them anything. The ones I have I only talk to them from time to time and they're not bad or anything but I know we r not super close. So they're friends but not true true friends, ugh I sound like a child but for real, it's hard. They would never understand what I'm going through

 

[whywere]

I will share this, becasue ALL of you folks on this site are the ONLY friends I have in this world period. With that said, here it goes, I am 64 years young, have been by myself since day 1. Had "parents" who kicked me out at 18, never heard from them again, I was the product of too much drinking and both my "parents" ALWAYS called me "the mistake". I have NEVER had friends ever. When ever anyone would get close to me and I would share that I have major depression,they always would run. NEVER have had a girlfriend in my life becasue when they would find out about me they were better than me, laugh at me , and disappear. When I stumbled onto this site NOW I feel as if I have lots of friends from everywhere. We all share with each other here and we are like a huge global family. Love and peace to everyone on this site.

 

[alfie]

Absolutely zero besides family and online friends.

 

[AfraidofEverything]

Reporting in!

I had a very close online one that drifted away over the past few years no matter how hard I tried. He just wouldn't try back no matter what I did and I was left very alone. I don't even have a SO or any friends that I can look forward to seeing IRL. No one online either, no text messages, no chat messages, just silence. I've tried very hard to make new friends and after a couple years and nothing to show for it I feel really down.

I spend time with family to avoid insanity. It helps but gave me anxiety about losing them and what I do when they're gone. I appreciate them while they're here.

I play games on my phone and draw on my tablet as it helps distract my mind. Books can help too but I can't focus lately.

I'm thinking of trying to play WoW again or something if I can afford it. Something to look forward to and interact with other people so I have some form of socializing.

You could also try using the friend threads here!
Just take care not to get your hopes up as some people will stop responding.

 

[MisterPeeWee]

You were the only one I was talking to because I have no one. Thanks for taking the time to talk to me while you could. Not having a partner I know I can be with will be hard when wanting to leave so bad. Nothing got better just worse. What is life?

 

[muffin222]

Lol, yes. I have literally ZERO friends whatsoever, online or offline. It wasn't always this way, but over the years I've just lost touch with every person I used to interact with.

Discussion topic: How tf do you deal with crippling loneliness without going insane ?

my 25th birthday was a few days ago; I live with my mom and spent the day sitting at home with her, no other human being wished me happy birthday, not even my own father (who still speaks with my mother often). No one from work... no additional family... nothing. My estranged cousin who grew up adopted, and hunted down his biological father a few years ago, in order to win over my shitty family and get an inheritance, did phone my mothers cell, but didn't leave a message, or follow up with a text. This really upset my mom, who he hasn't spoken to in a *long* time, and actually, the last time he called me, about three years ago, was to shit all over me for not keeping in contact with my grandmother, who had fallen, as if it was my fault my fucked up family called him to inform, but never bothered to update me. So not only did no one care enough to text me three goddamn words, but someone went out of their way to be an asshole to me

I truly have no one... and I want to die (again!)
Honestly don't know if I have another hospital stay in me.

Absolutely zero besides family and online friends.

that's more than some have... just saying, no judgment. good family *is* something to be grateful for... doesn't mean it makes up for a shitty life and alters one's desire to leave this fucked up world.

 

[Marktheghost]

I haven't got any friends.

 

[Sinai Silence]

My pets are very good at giving me the company I crave. Other than that I just try to escape reality as much as possible, music, books, games, netflix. Anything to keep me distracted from the fact of how lonely I am. If we are counting people on here then I have a lot of lovely people to call friends

 

[So-lowgid]

I've a couple irl but no one I could be open about my struggles with mental health/addiction and the like with. It scares people and unless they have similar struggles of their own it's an incredibly difficult topic to discuss. Things/society needs to change. I've made a couple of friends on here over the last few days and am grateful for them My fear is that I will fail them and let them down as that's just what I seem to do because I'm not consistent with anything or anyone.

 

[mopeyD]

I guess there's a few people I can text but normal people tend not to want to hear about suicide, which is all I can think about. So I can't relate to normal people much. Plus IRL I'm socially awkward and have an uninteresting personality and don't really contribute to conversations so what's the point? Socializing just makes me feel worse about myself. I miss my lovely cats who both died in the past year; they were my best buds.

 

[ocd is bad]

I don't have any irl friends and that's one of the reasons I want to ctb.

 

[PhilipBrush]

I used to have friends, but I distanced myself from them. They have a good life. They have a decent job, supportive family, which I don't. When I started lose everything they tried to help me but I was mad envy at them. I constantly said horrible things to them to make them feel guilty for living healthy life. I realized I was toxic so I cut off every contacts with them .

Occasionally I feel urge to talk to them again but now they're got married and busy with their life, I don't know what to talk. I have nothing going on with my life. I can't even make new friends because of trust issues.

We're all very lonely...

 

[cyan]

No friends. It's pretty lame that it's come to this. I dread weekends; all alone for three nights and two days. Sad existence but the bright side is nobody will miss me or be upset when I ctb.

 

[TrailerTrash]

Nope .... and that's ok with me. Tried too long and just don't care anymore. If I could have lived and died alone on an island that would have been perfect.

 

[AnotherBrick]

Came to SS for the info, stayed for the company.

No IRL friends, but it's nice to have found a community that gets where I'm coming from. I mean, I'm new... But I mostly lurk. It's what I'm best at.

 

[pickajack]

I had a friend on this site @WillOxyWork and he ctb. I miss him. I miss him so much and I wish we could still talk together.
