So I don't have many friends currently. But I use to have groups of friends! Every single one of those friends groups they spread rumors about me or say I was "clingy" by asking to hang out out of school. I had 5 friend groups. So that is MULITPLE PEOPLE in those friend groups that were shit to me. It is in the past(1 and a half years ago), and I should move forward. But because of those traumatic experiences I have given up trying to make friends. Even after those incidents I did try to make friends but the feelings were never reciprocated. So now I feel alone. I want friends but now I am going to wait until college to try and make friends again. I've been told to " let the sheld down" and try to make friends. But I can't, like dude if every time I've had friends they talk shit about me and ghost me for no reason, why in the world would I trust people. So I'm kinda in limbo for friends. Like I don't want to be alone and have friends but I don't trust anyone. And it's summer so.

      Definitely in need of friends.... all the 'friends' I've had never called or texted me and never wanted to hang out unless I had something to offer...😥 One day I just stopped reaching out and found out how many friends I really had waited a good year or so then blocked and deleted them.🤷‍♀️ It helped me feel a little better but it sucks not having anyone to talk to. And talk things through with... humans are social creatures and I'm sick of being abused and used by every human I have met... I have been gave up in real life, humans in the real are too fake. We have no reason to hid nothing here. We all are the same just another human.❤️ 🙏 And just to add to all those 'normal' people... there is no such thing as 'normal' and if you think so, your more cray cray than the rest of us, 🤣.

      @liloofwow this was very well said! It's true that friends should come into your life at the right time. But some people that have had this this experience and given up say that youll get used to it and say that you'll get used to being alone. But I dont feel like as humans we should feel that. We are supposed to be social beings. I haven't have friends or a friend in years. And I truly am playing the wating game til I get to college. But my therapist doesn't want me to wait anymore. So I'll be going into town once a month to maybe meet some people. In the meantime I have been busy tho. I mean look at my profile. I have, sadly, a lot of issues. I want to be normal. But I will definitely get to know myself and take time for myself. Like doing things alone, like hiking or something. You are a very wise and wonderful person. And I hope you will find some good and true friends soon you deserve them!!❤️❤️

        @shoe (Most of those issues were diagnosed when in the 3 years I have been alone.)

      i felt this so hard. i have a best friend and my bf and that’s pretty much all my social interaction outside of work and my family. i had a friend group of 5 in middle school, we all drifted apart once we hit high school since some moved and others went to a different high school. i became closer to two other friends i had and they were pretty much all i had through high school (they were great tho). im still friends with them i guess you could say, but i never talk to or see them irl. the way im getting through it is telling myself if its meant to be it will be. the right people will come around when they should. don’t force relationships with people, it should come easy and naturally. relationships of any kind should not feel like a chore or a burden on either end. you may feel alone now, but better days and better, effortless people are coming. in the meantime, create a better relationship with yourself. i don’t know you, so i can’t speak for you, but a lot of people don’t really know themselves or how their body or mind works. once you start learning and picking up on it, it makes things SO much easier just all around imo. it helped me distinguish what was a boundary, a trigger, and what just didn’t make me feel good. and on the flip side what made me thrive, what i need to do to succeed (in any amount), and overall gave me the feeling of being in control to a degree. im no good with words, but i hope this helps! ❤️

      I'm 26 and the only friends I have are the ones I live with and one other person. But the group of people I live with are incredibly supportive. I met all of them by getting involved in places like these and reddit

      Being young and making friends is always apparently supposed to be rly easy, and maybe it's just me, but it's a damn lieee I'm too quiet in person to make irl friends and too anxious to reach out for online friends so I felt this. You can always hmu if you want, I understand having shitty ppl around you that don't get you or treat you as a real friend

        @Catbug That's the dang truth! I'm so glad you know where I'm coming from!

      I'm only 24 with no friends. At this point I'm used to being alone all day and talking to no one. You'll get used to it

        @timdoge but should it be something that we should be use to? Maybe time heals. I'm not sure.

      People can be garbage. I don't have friends really. And I just got a job again so hopefully when I start I will make friends again. (Currently a homemaker going through divorce). But its always nice to talk to someone even if they are strangers on the internet lol

      • shoe

        652d

        @MoonCrystal91 yes so true!

        @MoonCrystal91 That's true thank you for the advice!

      There are a lot of conditions that make it hard for people to keep friend groups. Don't give up. Humans are aggressively gregarious, and there are people out there who will love you for you. Tend your own garden a little bit, talk to your shrink, talk to your therapist, I'll see if they have any insights. And I'm always available to vent to at your convenience.

      I feel the same way, I don’t have many friends either and it seems like I have to beg them to hang out with me. I also have BPD though which makes relationships so so hard for me

      • shoe

        655d

        @boofy oh I gotcha. Yeah thats sounds like it would be quite difficult. I get having to beg friends to like be your friend lol! It's not cool.

          @shoe I’m really here just looking for anybody to listen since I don’t really have anybody. Do you mind if we start a chat since you’re the first person to reply? If not I understand ☺️

      I'd be happy to be your friend! I didn't have a lot of friends growing up, and even now, I only have 3 friends that I can really trust
