What would you think if someone said they had no friends and yet are antisocial?

yes, everyone should have their friends. That's what a social life is supposed to be. If one closes himself to the outside world, then he or she can make no friends. And it is not our faults. Hope they can figure out something someday.

Sometimes there are people who are choosy with friends and ends up having no friends. Much as we would like to help them find friends, we still cannot because they do avoid parties too. Well, i guess, we just have to leave them alone and let them realize one day that "no man is an island".

Personally I have always wondered why there are people out there that choose to be this way, and in reality it makes me wonder what advantages they think that they might get from this even? I would hate for anyone out there to think of me this way. There are people I do not really feel like talking with but for the most part consider myself friendly and easygoing as well.

I think that's not good if one person is anti-social and don't make friends, but perhaps they also have their reasons, maybe they have problems with socializing, but I think it's better to have friends, it doesn't need to be many, even one true friend is just enough, just to have someone that be there in times that you need a friend that you can confide with all your problems and will understand you.

It is definitely hard to understand but with all due respect, it would be too naive to think that everyone would find it urgent to have friends at all phases of their lives. Some people revel in their solitude and are content with just being alone. What I would suggest is that you dont judge the person and just let the person be with whatever pleases him/her.

I think that person have a emotional problem. As the saying goes "no man is an island". We can't live only by ourselves.

I share the same sentiments as you. Actually if people who are antisocial and then say they have no friends, it's actually ironic. I mean, if they have no friends, they should make some! They really have to get out of their shell. In this cruel society, it's very important to make friends and HAVE friends by your side. Friends, maybe not all, will help you out in your dark times, rather than not having any. I was a bit antisocial too in the past but I have quite a lot of friends now and I realized the importance of having friends.

Well, I guess you know the reason why they don't have friends, case solved. I don't always go out for a drink anymore but I still have my old friends. I think that's the reason why some people lose friends, it's because they stop hanging out with them.

I would think they deserved it. Haha! But hey, from what you had typed, it sounds kind of similar to me but I do have some close friends. This is my point of view... Hmm, I disliked going to friends gathering (which was organized once every month) because it's just so troublesome. I don't know what conversation to start with them because I'm the only one who went to a different school. (sad) and this makes me like an antisocial in the clique. I disliked hanging out with my 5-years-secondary friends BECAUSE they really like to eat expensive food which I think the money could be spent on something else better. Despite them trying to engage me into their topic and inviting me to every single event that they planned. This makes me hate hanging out with them and it's still growing... Now, I do have some tertiary school friends which are better than the ones I've mentioned above. I enjoyed hanging with them because we have more common topic together... So I really think it depends on the people that the 'anti-social' is meeting. Maybe that individual is like me, fearing that the conversation would die quickly and had a feeling that it's going to be boring and a waste of time if he/she had attended the event... Well, there is a possibility of this. I believe that they will find friends when the right time comes. :D

I know that there are some people who like to be alone but not all the time. I couldn't live like that. I need to be with people to have fun, to unwind, to do some interesting things, to discus things. I can't imagine myself being trapped at home with my won company only and all the time. I would gone crazy.

sometimes people who have social anxieties can appear antisocial. maybe this person has that problem. some people, for various different reasons, can find social events quite stressful. its a very complicated issue, but a little gentle coaxing and support may be what is needed here. but no throwing them in at the deep end, my mother used to do that with me, when i was shy when i was young, and it was not helpful. quite the opposite.
