I know what you mean. I was the one who tried to keep friendships going. I kept one or two going for a year or two. My best friend joined the navy and that was it with him. I even tried to get my class to do a 5 year and 10 year reunion but nothing. My only real friend now is my wife of 32 years and a few online people I've never met face to face.

Sadly, seems to be how it is sometimes. We can only hang on for so long before it starts to drain any emotions we have left; not worth the stress. That’s great that you have someone to be by your side through life. I wish you and your family the best.

I got tired of always being the one reaching out.. I have one close friend that I can rely on, but they live quite far. I moved to a different state 12 years ago and haven’t been able to build a meaningful friendship closer since.

I used to have a lot of friends but it seems the older we got the more separated things became. I stay close to the family that's REALLY there. I feel like being alone sometimes help with not being misunderstood.

Yeah, I get it. Other than a few guys in my Division game unit, I’m pretty much Lone Wolf McQuaid.

I don't have physical friends because I'm in recovery and I genuinely don't know how I feel about being actually around others rightnow, but I do trust myself. Sometimes I feel very sad and alone.. I try to be positive for my daughter

I feel like this all the time. My friends at college don't really seem to listen to me and I have always been the punching bag of the group. I'm only a friend when it's convenient otherwise, Im the last choice. Even in my family

I feel you. I've always been one to use comedy and laughter to cover fears and emotions. That annoying old song "tears of a clown" describes me to a tee. My counselor figured me out though and whenever I laugh or joke she asks me what's bothering me.

All the time. I never see anyone but my family in person. I am borderline agoraphobic. I only have a few people I consider friends on social media. My kids were my best friends till they grew up and went out on their own, and now they rarely visit. I may have leaned on them too much.
