Is there anyone else like this

[Trina001]

Is there anyone else that just doesn't have any friends?

I genuinely do not have a single friend.

@tiredandgrumpyx literally exactly the same as me!

I’m a loner too. Come talk to us anytime 🥰

I have one and then I speak to people on Facebook or from my DD school.

I'm definitely a loner. But I think it's because I'm.a sahm. I'm cut off from work situations etc. I also can't be arsed with baby groups and things. I would like more friends. I used to have 3 friends but 2 just don't match up to me anymore.

Is there anyone at your work you'd like to be friends with? Or friends from school/uni you kept in touch with?

No friends or family outside of my house. I'm socially awkward and I over share. But I have a good sense of humour and would make a great friend.

Friends are so important! They are as important as partners or family. I would not get through life without my good friends.

My husband is like this. No friends at all. He didn’t even have a stag party because he’d have had nobody to invite.

He’s fine with it, but I’m sad for him. He’s lovely and people like him, but he’s just not really interested in building and maintaining friendships.

Yep, no friends either, I've had to move around a lot during the last 10 years so it has been difficult to establish any lasting connections. I don't have a partner and my family live in another country. This year has been incredibly difficult.

I would like to make friends but not sure how to go about it at the moment.

I don't think people like me or want to be friends with me.. I try to be friendly and pleasant but it just doesn't seem to work for me. How do people make friends at this age?

How long have you been with this man? Did you have friendships before that? It seems being with him is eroding your confidence. Is he trying to isolate you?

Try to attend some online events on eventbrite, maybe you can start connecting some people to chat online to and eventually meet? Do you have friends from the past on social media that you can reconnect and chat on zoom for the time being?

I think with covid it's quite tough at the moment and a lot of people are just trying to stay afloat, so probably not too bothered about others and new friendships.

I don't have any friends. I have acquaintances but I don't have anyone who would drop everything to help me out for example. I am really lonely. I have a partner but he makes me feel even more alone. I don't think I am a bad person but I can't make anyone want to be my friend!

I don't have any friends and haven't for about 30+ years.
Moved 200 miles from my home town, had a set of "friends" from school who targeted me, I was always doing something wrong, basically gaslighted me. I moved and made one friend who shit on me and I never tried to make anymore friends.
I had work pals but didn't socialise outside work, basically don't really trust people.
I see how other people are treated by their so called friends and I just don't want that in my life.
Funny thing is that people tend to like me, like my OH's friends and their wives and GF's but I will see these people intermittently but I won't take it any further.
I can't actually remember the last time I went for a coffee with another female.
Yeah, it's lonely

I don’t have any real friends. I have a couple of neighbours who will come out for a drink with me if I asked them to, but they have other groups of people who are obviously their “real friends”.

I don't have any friends. Never had many growing up but it's been many years since having anyone I could confide in (I'm 36).

My DP doesn't have any friends either so at least he understands. My ex partners have all taken the piss out of me for not having friends.

I find , for me, it takes me a lllooonnnggg time to make a friend.
So the few I have are "it", as it were. The thought of moving away and trying to find a new set would terrify me .

In the past I met one friend at a mum's and tots , but I think that took me a year of going!!

I am amazed , just flabbergasted, by people who say about a friend "Yeah, we were on a weekend course together and just clicked " ...... how!!!!

I think other people must put out the "hey , I like you , can we be friends vibe" and I totally miss it, I think i must come across as "not interested" when I would be soooooo interested.

I do think I have a blind spot to social cues though.

I don't know a solution to your dilemma, but I hope your do can do more to support you.
