People Might Think It's Strange....

I was in the Marine Corps for more than 21 years so moved a lot, and have moved several times since I retired in 1997. I am in the same boat. I moved here in Sept of last year and we don't get out, so my husband is my only friend too, outside of the internet. I am a member of a couple of email groups where I've known some of these ladies for several years and we're very close and I've actually met a couple of them, but still don't have any close enough to visit with.

When we reach a certain age and we don't have the school moms to hang out with, or the church crowd where we went for so many years, it's harder to find the right person to hang out with. I have to make the big effort and join join join - take classes, on and on. I don't have the energy right now, but I will. And I'm not ready for the senior citizens groups yet.

I understand - we have moved quite a bit and all my dearest friends live a great distance from me - locally I have a lot of acquaintances and casual friends - but no buddies. it gets lonely at times. Ironicly one of my good friends lives in pensacola! such a big city like that, I would find it hard to make friends there too.

Friendship is similar of having a relation, it requires some time (even years) to call at least one person a friend. Still what about your friends from your childhood? Even today that are your friends despite the fact you aren't in touch with them anymore. From the worlds complex systems, elements, lives and facts one thing is surely to be impossible and that is person who has no friends. A friend is a person who you talk, are open or someone who understands you...now from this theory you get the number of types of friends, even a lonely person had a friend or "future friends". Future friends are people who you come in contact rarely but still they understand you and have the will to help you. Some from the first meeting the bond of friendship is created even if the two people aren't aware of it. It's a very complex thing about friendship that's way it's impossible to have no friends. And by the way friendship doesn't counts if it's coming from the family circle or from people who aren't a part of your family. Just continue your life and your contact with the people you've met and you'll see that you have friends after all.

I understand perfectly what you are talking about. I have always had tons of friends but mainly they had to do with the business that I had. Then I had to quit the business and move to a new town, and have had a really hard time making friends here and so glad to find someone else that has the same problem. I am not into joining clubs or volunteering either. Don't mind volunteering but don't want to do it to meet friends. So I just make tons of friends on the internet and get my socialization right here on all the social sites. So I am just like you in the friend department. I have all my animals as my friends and they are super to talk to, cause they don't tell me what to do or how to do it.

who says- u have the best of a friend ur husband, and it is just ur thought on someone as u think as a friend ar foe. ye sometimes u need something new but that is temporary. get on to with lot of things around u and then u will love whatever u have. JUST STOP THINKING PEOPLE MIGHT THINK IT STRANGE because any thing other than urself is strange.

No, I'm very outgoing and make friends easily, wherever I go. I chat to people on the bus, in the pub, and in coffee shops, etc. In fact, recently, I met a friend in Mylot, who lives a short distance from me. We hit it off almost immediately and have phoned each other and arranged to meet, so you never know... a new friend might pop up when you least expect it. Brightest Blessings.

i have seen many people are intovert. so they do not make friends taht much easily. so its natuarl. also the people are not worth making friends.try to find out some soon.

I don't think it is strange at all. I do not have any friends either. I never have. My husband is my best friend also. I have tried to be friends with girls too and it never works out. They treat me bad or use me every time and their interests are totally different than mine. I will do things they like to do but they never take the time to do what I like. they actually think it is very strange that I like to do some of the guy things instead of the girly things. I like to ride 4 wheelers but they want me to go to baby showers, weddings and things like that. I just don't like that kind of stuff.

Hi catjane I also only have one really best friend and a lot of acquaintences . Also I do have some coworkers where I used to work who are friends. I guess we both need to get out and do something where we could meeet new people. I have been thinkiing of volunteering at the library for the friends of the library. maybe you could do something similar. the friends repair books and put stamp paper backs with the librarylogo. nothing hard to do but the women do make friends who work there. just a suggestion. My best friend and I share a lot we are both diabetics and our sons are best friends so we do enjoy each other so much. we met while washing clothes at our apartment complex. I have been here in this apt complex for four years and the neighbors on either side of me have never spoken to me how about that?

Friend topic is always disturbing.But for a girl like me,friend is essencial.'cause I need someone to talk to,the talk may be easier if your friend is girl.But,indeed,not everyone is fit for the role.So sometime we need to walk out to meet different people,and find the type you need.Good luck!

I dont think its strange. I moved to Sheffield (my boyfriends hometown) just over 2 years ago and I dont have many friends. They are the people I work with but I dont socialise with them outside of work and there are the peopel my boyfriends friends who I get on with and are friends with them. I dont have any of my own friends as I feel that I dont need them. Ive got my boyfriend, his family and friends and my mum lives in the nieghbouring town. Does it really matter if you dont have any people that you class as friends?? You have people that you can chat to, and joke with. Just sounds like you need someone to confide in and have a proper girly natter!! I do miss that, I try and do ring my mum up and natter to her and it helps!!

why??? on this world you haven't find a friend???...will if you dont mind can i ask you what's your ideal friend??

I like making friends.. I am friendly with almost anyone. But I don't like all my friends equally.. But I think its good to socialize with many people.

My husband is my best friend also. I have been trying to get together while he is at work, with other ladies. I would be so lost if something happened to him, and I don't want to be left totally alone.

I dont have many friend a few and like you I have met people who I would not take on as friends. I have a daughter of 28 who is my best friend so I am lucky, I also have my husband and son of 21 at home.

Sometimes too much friends become an annoying thing. I have been there where too much friends and my mobile could not stop ringing. sometimes I would like to be alone or with my family. So, I think it is you who can determine the type of your life. well, one or two friends could be enough but it also depends on the type of that friend. best wishes for you.
