Honestly...I Have NO Friends at ALL

My fiance has 0 friends besides me. He says he has friends at work but work friends that you don't talk to outside of work, are not friends. I only have 1 real friend, my best friend. I have 1 that comes around when she needs something. I put up with it because she is a nice person and fun to talk to. I have 1 friend that calls once in a blue moon and we never hang out. Everyone else that I consider a friend is someone here on mylot also. Maybe it's a mom thing, to not have friends. Maybe we are just too busy with the kids to make friends.

If I had to come up with 6 friends to carry me to my grave I would have to walk to get there.

You and I are a lot alike! The two friends I have are married to each other (how convenient for me!) and live clear across the country. Other than that, I really have no friends just co-workers and acquaintances. I don't get lonely, never have because I've always been a loner, but it would be nice to have someone to go to a movie with or just yak with every so often in person. I'm busy, too, so that doesn't help. I work full time, come home and do the myLot thing and write articles, then go to bed. Weekends are much the same! But, like you, I figure that I'll eventually make a couple of good friends here. Meanwhile, I'm busy with life and not at all lonely.

volunteer, best way to meet new people who are all doing something positive. Do you live in a small town, join a club, church, parents, social,(women) YMCA or help out at the schools. No matter where you live you can do something to help with the changes the new President is talking about. If you have no need of people\just enjoy your oneness.

Count me in with the friendless, I don't have any either, that is why I can spend so much time on the computer doing MyLot, I have no social life. I am a loner also. I had friends what happen to do them I do not know. I remember one of my friends got married and her husband did not want her to hang out with a single woman so that ended that friendship. Another friend used to live next door with her sister, she couldn't drive and everywhere she needed to go I took her no charge even to work. When she got her a job, learned to drive brought her a car and moved out from her sister's house she forgot all about me. So I sit here on MyLot.

Maybe you ought to walk around the block I don't suppose anybody can catch you.Is there a local school,church ect go and volunter somewhere and you will soon get talking to someone.Maybe if you moved around a lot as a kid perhaps it was useless getting to close to anyone as you did not get to know anyone because you would have to leave them behind.Having grown up and lived in the same area all my life,the same neibours ,school friends, my daughters friends are all the same,and her kids play with her friends children.If you lived near me you could join our group of friends and you would love it we are all crazy except for one who is completely nuts and a couple of sensible ones as well, we are a mix but we have managed for the last forty odd years.

That's not a crime...having no friends. But do you feel sad about it? Then it might be a problem, and you could try all steps to attract a nice person toward you. I don't have friends too! And I don't want any! I think people only create problems. However, some people do consider me as friends and I have no issues with that. My best friends are all furry and four footed...and I love them so much!! Cheers and happy mylotting

I think that it is defiantly possible to not have friends. I do have two friends. Its not that Im anti social or anything I do get out. I just choose to keep my circle of friends small. I have lots of people who I speak with, people I laugh with, but very few that I actually consider to be my friend.

i believe you.. i have known people who dont have friends or dont have many before.. i usually always have friends but i have gone through periods between friends where i didnt have any.. i would say its sad but who knows.. you could be worse off with a lot of BAD friends so what ever feels right to you go with it!

I am now you're friend,hope you add me to your circle of friends not only online but want you to be a good friend of mine

It is not all that simple. I know it takes a lot of effort to make new friends and to make a best friend, you have to be a best friend to someone. When we shifted home, my daughter was very unhappy as she takes a lot of time in making friends. She is a little introvert and does not mix up easily. I told her this. Look if I were to come up and tqalk to you, would you respond? She said yes indeed i will. i said well do the same thing. Walk up to the other girls or boys in yor class and talk to them. She did and when i asked her, she said yes they spoke nicely to me. I said go ahead and talk to as many students in yoru class as you can. She did and by now she had started enjoying talking to people. Soon she knew who were compatible and who were not, Who show coudl get along with and who she could not. When the other students started gettign to know her, she did make a few friends and soon she had 4-5 good friends in teh class. The important thing is not to go aroudn on a bicycle as you say you do. You have to go out and meet people and talk to people. if you feel hungry, you go out and buy some food don't you? If you are hungry for a friend, go out and talk to some people only then will you make freinds. join a club, join some classes. Anyplace where you have to meet people and interact with them. Then only will you be able to make a friend. Be my friend and keep smiling.

You would not believe how liberated this discussion has made me feel. I always believed that I was some kind of abnormal because I did not feel the need to have a bunch of close friends. When I was a child, even a teenager, I never had kids over to my house. I seldom went to theirs either. Oh sure a couple of times I became close to one person or another but I never had a group of friends and these friendships didn't last much longer than a term at school. I was finally blessed with one close friendship who became my lover and husband. We were together for thirty two years. Now I am alone but I am not feeling sorry for myself. I have my daughter and my son and we have been developing a closer relationship. For general conversation I have found this great forum and I am having a ball here. So I am content with the relationships in my life or the lack thereof.

Theoretically,I have several best friends,but they study in other cites.In college,I find that it is very hard to make real friends there.But you should have some friends to do things together,thus,you are not alone.But as for me,I often do things on my own and I'm accustomed to it.My friends and I have our own arrangements and we just talk at night in our beds.That's sweet,I think.We talk about our secrets and share our happiness,though we are not always together.So you can try to be open your mind to people around you,maybe you may find they are very willing to make friends with you as well.

i'am sorry to hear that you have any friend ,but i think that just at present ,that just because you haven't meet she or he ,from your i think you are a frank person,my english is poor,i can't clearly give my expression, i just want to say ,one person should have many friends ,because friends can give us what we need when we are in trouble ,inclusing material and spiritual,do you think so ,that's my view

I don't really have any friends. I had friends in high school, but after high school we pretty much lost touch. I had friends before I moved to Missouri, but we lost touch. I had friends before I moved to where I live now, but we lost touch. I have a lot of them on my myspace friends list, but I would not really consider any of them my friends. Just people who I used to be friends with.

Hi there miracle freebies. I don't blame you as i have been through this when i was younger and except for the acquaintances from my school i had no friend, and those kids weren't really qualified to be called friends. I have a friend nowadays that was part of our bunch of friends from high school that we staid in touch after finishing but these days all he does is go to his college and stay home and play at his computer - other than that he has no friends of all - well he sort of has us, but he never calls, he never writes...

I guess everyone is surprised at how many people responded to your discussion that do not have a lot of friends. My friends seems to fade away gradually. I was laid off from my job five months ago, there were three ladies there that I was rather close to. We would go out, call each other etc. I invited them to my wedding. Since I left that job, there is only one who emails me from time to time, the other two, I have not heard a word from. I guess they were the when I need you, you are my friend kind of friends. I would lend them money, share things with them, the normal things that friends do with friends. I see now, they really were not my friends. I have many acquaintances, people from church etc, but to say that I have a BEST FRIEND, I can not. There was another lady that I worked with from another job, that I thought we were friends, but I have not heard from her since the day I called her and she said she would call me back, that must have been about three weeks ago. So, I guess my best friends are the ones that are living in my house, my husband, and my two silly cats, Jakie and Scootsie.

I can understand how you feel. I have a couple friends, but none that I really consider a best friend or anything. I pretty much feel alone most of the time. My family lives 200 plus miles away from me. The only family I have here are my children. My life pretty much consists of a life online, sounds pathetic, I guess or atleast some people I know would say that I don't have a life. It's hard to get out and meet new people when you have children to take care of every night. But I'm thankful that I have you as a friend here on MyLot. I enjoy reading your discussions and responding to some of them. Thanks for being my friend. Happy MyLotting!

Hi miracle! You do pretty well with your online friends! Honestly, I do have some friends that are here and there, but I spend most of my time with my mylot friends! And that is where I am the happiest! I have a girlfriend across the street from me who I can visit with anytime. I have my boyfriend in the next room who is my best friend most of the time IF if could trust him completely, but I can't! So I am usually here with the people who I prefer to be with! So, maybe friends are overrated! When your baby gets a little older you will meet other mothers and share "mother stuff" so don't worry! Friends come and go, that I have found out through the years and it can be sad and disheartening! Sometimes it's better to be alone!

i guess it depends on what you call a friend. i have lots of acquaintances, and we spend time together, but I'm not sure they are friends. They are there for convince sake. They fit in with my life, and i fit into theirs. I used to have friends in High School and College, but they all went their own ways, perhaps that means we were never friends... really. I think true friendship lasts a lifetime. Thank goodness i have my family for that.
