I don't know how people get along in relationships?? They can't even get along as friends! I am not talking about people who are high school kids but they are adults of 25-33 age.

Check this real-life headache drama with my group of friends (with initials only - no names):
-I met HA in a trip, HA became a close friend.
- HA introduced me to her friend SI.
-SI introduced HA to her cousin.
-HA and SI's cousin became friends too.
-Suddenly, SI's cousin stopped replying to HA's messages, she even hang her phone call.
-HA didn't know what's wrong, she asked SI.
-HA complained to me.
-SI like her cousin, stopped all contact with HA.
-SI stopped contact with me ever since.

- Then I have introduced HA to another bunch of friends: R, HI, and W.
-R and HI fought over silly dispute and misunderstanding and stopped talking to each other
-R complained to me about Hi.
-HI complained to me about R.
-R and HI returned friends but not as before.
-W introduced D to the group
- R and D became friends.
- R introduced her friend SA to the group
- W introduced other friends to us, a girl and her brother: Mo and Mi.
- SA got upset at R and stopped hanging out with the group
- D (he works at a huge pharmacy) started to get bothered by R's special requests.
- D distanced from R and complained to W and to me.
- W and R fought over a dispute related to D.
- HI sided with R.
- D, Mo and Mi sided with W.
- While me and HA stayed neutral.
- W complained to me.
- R complained to me
- HA complained to me how W and R are complaining to her.
- HA and me hanged out with HI and R. at times; and with W, D, Mo and Mi at other times! A group split and we two in the middle :-/
- HA started to get annoyed by R's bossy nature & other things.
- HA complained to me about R's bossy nature & other things - and asked me to come up with excuses to not go out with her.
- HA distanced from R and starting avoiding her suggestions for weekend hangouts..etc.
- R complained to me about HA's distancing from her & other things.
- HA introduced B to the first group: W, D and Mi, Mo
- B and W became good friends
- B and W planned a camping trip
- We went to the camping trip as me, HA, W, Mi, Mo and with other bunch of people, B couldn't go.
- During the camping trip, HA got annoyed by Mi's sarcasm (which happened once).
- HA complained to me and about the poorly-planned camping (according to me, it was fine by me).
- W started to get annoyed by B's requests ( W is supposedly relative to the prime minister); W blocked B on facebook.
- W complained to me about B.
-After a couple of weeks, W complained to me that he's feeling HA is distancing from him, he also told me that R told him earlier that HA has a crush on him and that he got a good fortune from his recently deceased father, he told HA what R told him , and he made it clear to HA that he has no romantic interest in her.
-HA is asking me for a hang out, but with a completely another group of friends of her....

...etc...
...etc..


and here I am, complaining to WP. :lol:

This is precisely why I don't have a lot of friends. The more people you let in your life the more stress you get.

My social life went zero for 4 consecutive weekends - each one of those buddies went back to their original circle and I don't have any other circle - they no longer want to hang up together.

I had an active social life in the last two years (and worked so hard for two years to form it) even when I got almost unemployed (underemployed), this really cheered me up at times and somehow made me forget my chronic single status in life.

But now after getting a career, I am afraid I got back to ground zero socially :-/.
