No friends

Post Reply New Topic

Currently? Not really.

I have people in my life who consider themselves my close friends. One even uses the word best friend and tells me he loves me on a constant basis. He doesn't truly, he just doesn't know it.

Anywho. I've had one or two individuals I considered my best friends while growing up, but that faded away after college or high school or whatever it was that drew us apart.

I had some best friends in college and then I left that particular school for one reason or another and that faded too.

If it's one thing I've learned it's no matter what phase in life I start (new school, new job, new place, whatever) I'll get a new "best" friend and other new close friends.

And when I say best friends or close friends I mean that they feel that way towards me. The only people I ever considered to be my best friends was back when I was 12-16 years old, after that, they all come and go and I knew that so I stayed reserved.

I'd love to have a true best friend, someone I know will always be there no matter what phase of life I'm in, but I just haven't been that lucky yet.

It's like what my Grandpa used to say to my dad all the time,

"If you find one true friend you're whole entire life, you'll be very lucky."

no friends at present, thought it was just me, but I seem to have met my people...

No friends. I used to have a friend (she said I was her best friend ¿¿??), but the relationship was very fragile.

I have two close friends. One lives here and I see him on a fairly regular basis. My other good friend lives in Buffalo in New York, and I try to keep in contact with her as well. The only person I really hang out with though is the good friend I have here. I have a few other casual friends, but I hardly ever see them. And I'm lucky as an aspie to say I had a good number of friends in high school, but most of those friendships have faded away

No friends. That's been the case for a quite a while, actually.

I have no friends, in that I have no real tangible friends i can talk/interact with. i don't mind most of the time, but sometimes the isolation can get to me.

I have two friends. Still, life feels pretty friendless some of the time.

I have no friends and haven't for many years. I think I have one online friend, if I haven't wrecked it. It's the way life has always been for me.

I have had periods of my life where I think I may have had friends.
Most of the time it always me who had to make contact with, or go over to their house to hang out.
No one really ever called to ask me to hang out with them.
In fact a group that I thought were my friends came over once simply to ask how to get to some other person's house to ask him if he would cover a shift for one of the "friends" in this group because they were going to Disney that weekend. My "friends" never asked me if I wanted to go as well. (This was pre-cell phone era)

Another time a "friend" was handing out invites to a party he was having. As he was handing them out in front of me he said , "Oh yeah, you can come to". He never seemed to understand why I stopped talking to him after that.

Now I just live a life where I have very little human contact save for work and when I have to exchange dialog with a cashier/server when I am at the grocery store, or drive through for a fast food restaurant.
On the rare occasion I go out with my co-workers for any kind of after work function, I usually end up sitting by myself bored out of my skull. I honestly have so little in common with most that all I can talk with them about is tech problems/projects I am working through or working with them on. I have tried to make small talk but that usually dies quickly. Most of them have little interest in IT Tech beyond doing it for a paycheck.

I spend most of my time when not working recharging from all the people/nonsense I have to deal with at work.
As to friends I occasionally might get a phone call from the one /two people I could hypothetically call friends ( and usually those calls revolve around me coming over to fix something PC/Network related or to pick my brains for what ever PC issue they are having), but to be honest if I were to pay all my bills off for a month, take that month off from work, and then die during that month no one would know until either my bills came due again ( rent,electric, etc. ), I did not return to work at the end of the scheduled time off, or my decomposing body began to smell enough that people noticed.

..and the strangest thing of all, being isolated like this really does not bother me, I simply accept it for what it is and just live my life and try not to think about that reality that there has never been a place for me in this world, nor will there likely ever be.
So I can either let that fact that there is no place in the NT world for me depress and crush me, or make my own world and tell them to go phrack off.

Yes.

I have many friends, I always have had many. I even managed to move abroad for 12 months and make a lot of friends there (huge milestone for me).

Though I do worry a little about the future. I think without the school/university environment, I would suffer to make friends.

many acquaintances, a few friends (not close, never hang out), spend 90% of my time alone, tend to cling to one person at a time and block everyone else out, I hate people generally and don't trust them.

I currently have no friends, though there is a person or two with whom I exchange an email every week or so.

In the past I have usually had one person with whom I am in daily contact. But frankly, I am much happier with my current situation.

Chatting-up the grocery store cashier during my weekly trip to market seems to meet my social needs quite well. Of course, that is in addition to reading/posting here on WP.

One sort of friend, but she is really a friend if my mother.

Not quite sure at the moment. Two years ago, I know I had close friends. Last year, I know I didn't. Now, um, not quite sure where this one relationship is going. She doesn't really do anything either, so, yeah...
