All of my closest friends have died. All of my friends that I've kept in contact with since I was a child. I grew up in the same state my whole life. I had one friend left who moved out of state four years prior to me deciding to move out of state. I picked a state I had no real business being in. No job. No family. No friends. Within 14 months of me being here my last friend got into an argument with his girlfriend while drinking. She left and he shot himself in the head. I lost my best friend because of a stupid argument with a lady and booze. I had only been in this new state for 14 months at the time. Between getting a job and somehow getting a girlfriend I never really focused on making friends. I found out a while after that she was cheating on me and we split. I convinced myself I shouldn't make new friends because it seems they all just die. I don't need to get another girlfriend because they all cheat. For the most part I'm not bothered by not having friends. That is until you are having a rough time with something and you realize you don't have anyone to talk to. That was really apparent with my ex cheating on me. She was my girlfriend and best friend. When she was caught and I was heartbroken I couldn't vent to my best friend

All my life no friends. Anyone around me in school only wanted to play sports, cuss and smoke. I wanted no part of it so I became a loner. Also a big part of it was also I couldn’t tell when they were serious, kidding or sarcastic. I got tired of hearing omg I can’t believe you thought we were serious! So I just kept to myself. Even when I went to community college. Same thing. History repeated itself. To this day I have no real world friends. Only online ones who I have never met face to face.

All my friends abandoned me in my 2nd year of highschool. I got used to being alone. 6 months later I ended up moving schools and made a good friend at the new school that im still friends with now 5 years later. So it worked out.

I thrived on it. I only had friends towards high school or Americans would say yeah between junior high and high school ah well. These days I really only have enough "actual friends" I could count on all my fingers and toes. And that's plenty of friends for me.

If I didn't have friends, I'd just go back to my old routine, happily me myself and i, and it's cheaper than having to pay for social outings if I didn't really want to attend said parties said friend gatherings said whatever else. It's cheaper when it's just solo. Lol.

Age 20 to now but when I look back at 19 an earlier those I thought were my friends treated me like shit but I just thought that was how friends acted to each until I started group therapy and people in group said that it sounds like I've never had friends. How do I cope, well I accepted that I'm not someone who's going to ever have friends or date, so I gave up on both. It's fine though because trying to get either gave me mental problems and brought back mental disorders I had as a kid like Selective Mutism.

Shit not really. Maybe, once, for like a week i wasn't in contact with anyone I was really friends with. And I coped basically by making a close friend super fast. I've never done it that fast before just, immediately we had something in common and started info dumping. Learned more about each other in that first few hours than probably the whole rest of the time we known each other...

but the days before that i was just, walking around, eating shit, looking at shit, doing shit. I can't remember anything specific except one of the days I didn't do anything and was really hungry and pissed the bed. And so I guess I'll make this anonymous then and I definitely recommend making friends if you don't have any. 👍

yeah cause i seemed to meet people through different situations or places and when those ended a lot of the times the friendship would end too. like typically meet them during the summer maybe at a restaurant or bar but when summer ended i wouldn't see them anymore

Everyone wanted to be my friend but I always thought like this song my whole life

OddBeMe · Answer

Define “friends”. You want everyday folk to hang out with? Or longtime friendships that last decades but you might only see them once a year?

Hispanic-Cool-Guy · Answer

Yes. Just fine. I don't like being bothered and friends tend to bother my life. I prefer having associates.

Shy_Steve · Answer

Yes, When I was at School for a while. I wasn't actually that upset about it, I just kept going and then after a while I was with Friends again, I can't remember what happened.
