Am I alone in that I have no Friends?

[Tealeaf]

The closest thing I have to a social life is taking the time to thank a couple of my instructors for their help and getting happy e-mails in return. I haven't had a social life in years, and it's been several months since the last person I actually knew outside of work and family moved away. No amount of invitations or cultivating my own interests has changed this. The last "friend" I had avoided me after meeting face-to-face.

You're not alone. I'm also in that boat (I have only have one friend to my name, and I think he feels pity for me more than anything else; that is my colored-thought assessment), except with a cat instead of a dog.

Best wishes that things improve for you soon. That pendulum has to swing eventually, right?

I hope things have gotten better for the original poster by now. Of course she is not alone, you can add me to the list of folks with zero social life. Companionship and fun are two words that have not been in my dictionary for ages. Existing and living are two completely different things. I have cats and dogs, they are great friends but poor chatters. About the only reason I have a phone is incase I have to call the vet. That pendulum seems stuck, I wish some act of God or man would give it a push in the positive direction.

I have no friends.

The only way I can put it is that every friend I've had seems to have another best friend. You can call me selfish, but it just gets really, really tiring to be the 3rd guy, the tag along.

So I basically just gave up.

You're not alone with having no friends! *hugs*

There is one person that I would do absolutely anything for, if it meant the sacrifice of myself or someone else for him.
But as for a group of people to call up to hang out? No.
I don't understand people, or they don't get me.

Same here. I feel like a recluse (which I probably am anyway) and there is no one from around here where I live that I do socialise with. Seems like we all how it feels ...

Hi all,

Almost 4 years ago, I divorced my ex, and moved across the country to the state where I grew up. I live alone. What family I have is estranged, and the people I grew up with have all moved away. I literally have no one but my pup, Tucker, who listens but really doesn't relate at all. So virtually no human contact.

You may say, what about work? I was disabled in a car accident several years ago. I am working to get better, as I have an advanced degree that I've never used, but I can't currently work. I need to find something, though, since my alimony runs out in about 6 months. yikes.

So, am I alone in being absolutely alone, or are there others out there? let me know, and maybe we can be alone together.

I am married and I'm just always tired of being alone even when he's home he ignores me and I have no friends I talk to no one and I just get so bored that I cry.I even tried to look good for him every day and it's like he doesn't even notice.I do my hair every day putting on my makeup try to look cute in some clothes and they never even says nothing he just sits there and watches TV like I don't exist.i'm just tired of being alone with no one to talk to you ever sometimes I'll take my teddy bear and hold it and just cry and I think it's really sad and I live this way. .sometimes I don't feel like I'm even married.

Youre not alone in your loneliness. I have not a single friend either. I live by my self thousands of miles away from any family. I don't socialize with anyone apart from when i have to at work. I find it extremely hard to talk to strangers due to my shyness and anxiety issues.
