whats wrong with me anyway?

I do have one close friend, but i find that I can not have more then two or three friends. My BF makes fun of me all the time, saying i don't have any friends, but I know that with my best friend i share a friendship that he would not understand with all of his "casual acquaintances" he considers friends.

I have several close friends and bestfriends. We shared our trouble, ups and down in life and getting along each other. The best of my best of friends family consider as my family too. I can call her parents same how she call them. Try it and you will see more the beauty of life.

My husband is very similar to you in regards to friends. He has a few people at work that he chats with, and a few more old friends that he occasionally talks to online, but no real close friends. He's happy with that though. I used to feel bad when I leave to hang out with my friends, and he is home alone, but I have gotten used to it. He is just find with not having any close friends to hang out with, and so I am okay with it too.

I am not a guy but I can relate as I am a bit shy and only have one really close friend in whom I confide just about anything. I have a lot of friends from where I worked but they are not like my close friend. I do not miss not having a zillion friends I would rather just have one or two best friends and I am sure there are guys who are the same way.

Well first, I don't think its right that your wife bugs you about not having any friends. Its fine that you have never missed having any friends. It is hard to depend on people, and to trust them with personal things.

in my opinion from observing the guy friends that i myself have around me.....they don't really seem to have that close of friends. i mean sure, they have buddies, and what not, but all the ones i know kinda keep all their friends at the same distance..... i myself being female truly enjoy myself!! :) Sure i have friends but i find that sometimes if you get to be really close to one or a few people, it kinda turns rotten. I like my friends, and keep myself as the "close friend". sounds corny....oh well. :)

I dont think there is anything wrong in that. I can kind of relate to you. I am not a very social person , but then again i dont like to be isolated either. ~pinks~

You and I are actually very much alike..while yes I do have my gal "friends" ..some close.. they are not ones I hang out with or call and yak hours on end...in fact I actually find the phone very distracting which is why I have a message machine on 24/7...my one friend did call me just the other day but as I was in the middle of some photo work didn't answer and haven't called back yet..naughty me...hehe..actually while I do enjoy people and being with people I'm very much the recluse...I'm happy with my own company, (oh, and my two cats) can spend hours on end working on my projects and love it. I sometimes think though that I interact more with my friends here at mylot land than people in my "real world"--uh, whatever that means...but meaning people I can talk to in the flesh...Nope there's nothing wrong with you...I never had much in common with my gal friends my own age...ever..not even as a kid...I actually related more to my male friends for some reason...maybe cause I longed for a brother??

Oh! Your wife is the best wife in the world that I ever know. Your wife is really like my Mom... I can't live without friends but there are some who never like friends it seems!! and I am really surprise when one of my friend told me that she don't want anyone to miss her further she also said that she don't want to miss anyone in her life. I was really surprise how these people could survive in this way?!! Having a Good friend is like living in the paradise Yap I haven't been there of course but I can say... surprise na? thanks...

I miss having a close friend. Ya your spouse is alright but geez 24/7 with the same person forever-LOL I wish I had a friend to go out with sometimes just to have something differnt to do for a change. How many guys answered your discussion? LOL Maybe if my hubby would go out and do guy stuff he might miss me and then um well you get the picture-LOL

i don't really have any close friends either...my hubby is my best friend so why would i want someone else to talk to? we do have some friends we will see occasionally and that is fine, we both like each other's other friends, but most of the time we just like hanging out by ourselves.

I don't think there is anything wrong with you. You seem to be a very sociable and loving person and I think your wife should be proud of you. The only people I have ever been close to are those I have been in a close relationship with at the time. I am still friends with some of my ex-lovers and still feel affection and love for them, even though we are no longer close. I don't miss having friends who stay around forever because I don't know what it would be like to have that sort of friendship.

I'm can relate to what your saying.When I was younger I had a few close friends,but over the years I seem to not to developed any close relationships.I still consider those I've been close to in the past as good friends but I seldom talk with them.Time seems to be the problem,between work and family their is not too much time to devote to relationships.Also I tend to be self-centered which does not help in developing close friendships.Sometimes I do miss not having close friends,sometimes I don't.

In my opinion,a true friend is a man or a woman who can share your happiness and your sadness,you won't care your appearance in front of him or her,you can tell him something you can't share with your wife and both of you are willing to pay for eatch other…… But I don't think there is something wrong with you only because you have not a true friend,as it always need a long time to cultivate the friendship,and it need your sincere heart,maybe you felt that you don't need anyone except your wife to share your feelings with.However,wish you happy!

My husband is surrounded with so many friends, some I like and some I don't like. He goes out with them for occassional drinking spree. I am happy if he goes with his friends whom I know well.

I guess you are a close friend to yourself. This is the reason why you are not so interested in others friends to be close. It's actually good. We would search for close friends only when we feel alone. But if we does not feel so it means we are not alone and our soul is always with us to talk to us and be our good friend.

My husband is the same way, he only has people he talks to at work, to say he has really close friends, Nope. And for me well, I'm from Canada, been in the US 5 yrs and I haven't really made any friends, I have one really close friend that I do still talk with in Canada and that is it, beside my husband whom is my best friend.

My husband is the same way. He only has 2 people he can really call his "friends".. I guess we're both in the same boat because I lost all my close friends after becoming pregnant young. I have only made one really good friend since I left my home state. I enjoying have my close friend because I can tell her anything. I believe everyone should have a good friend they can confind in every once in a while.
