Do you think that a person can live without friends?I had an accident and now I can't walk.I don't have a family and my friends left me 3/4 months after the accident.I can't go out and meet new people because I can't stay in weelchair more then a cuple of minutes.I only speak with the person that helps me but only a cuple of minutes and we are very diferent so the opinions does not match a lot of time.And is that type of person that if you think diferent you are wrong.So I try not to speak a lot to not upset her or get her angry and live..So a lot of time I speak with someone only 30 minutes a day where she is talking like 15 minutes from that 30.And I want to ask you if you can live a not happy because maybe I ask to much but an ok life without taking with people(face to face)and having friends.

It can be difficult but, yes, people can live without friends. It might not bother some people too much but others would suffer from the isolation.
When my partner was first diagnosed with a chronic illness, he was often confined to his home where he lived alone. Luckily, he already had a few good friends who would visit. Other than that, his doctors advised him to keep in touch with people through social media so that he was not socially isolated.
I have plenty of acquaintances but very few people I'd call friends. There have been times, though, when I've not been in touch with any friends. If I've been ill or not been able to get out, nobody knows and I doubt anyone would bother if I didn't contact them. So, I do have some understanding of what it's like to have no friends (there are some acquaintances I used to see regularly but have now not seen since I stopped doing things for them).
Some people might say it's better to have no friends than to have the kind of friends who would abandon you in your adversity. I won't necessarily disagree with that but if you get that lonely, you might think you'd rather have anyone than no-one.

I really loved your response,and I am sorry that you don't have really friends.The word is very bad right now so I think that a lot of time people are ,,friends''just because they need something or to not say that they don't have friends.I really miss the time when people had friends from childhood,true friends.or that friend that you know that he will be with you on good and bad

I think it would be difficult, living without face to face contact with people but with the internet, it is so much easier to find people to talk to. This site is excellent for that purpose. There is facebook and several other places to interact with others online. I suppose it comes down to tastes. Which suits your needs?

There are people who don't have friends and they survive. What I mean is that they don't have permanent friends.
In your case you're disabled due to accident. You don't gave enough friends to talk except of the girl you mentioned. Well if really need friends there are ways of getting friends particularly by using social media.
