does anyone else have no friends?

In my opinion, it's better to have no friends than friends like that. Good on you not to tolerate that kind of behavior.

However, I understand that it still hurts to have no friends. Do you get any support from your family?

 

Frequent the places that are more likely to contain people like yourself. True friends are a treasure that is rare! Friends are not colleagues or acquaintances. You are as good as the sum of the five people you most hang around. So choose wisely. Sometimes it is better to be alone than to be with others that don't match your values. Hang in there. Like attracts like. Stay strong and stay upon the no PMO lifestyle and true friends will appear in your life.

 

Hi,
I feel you. Finding true friends can be really hard. I didn't have any till studying at university. In school times i was some kind of outsider. Never had the same interests as most of my schoolmates, no soccer, no binge drinking, etc. Also i was some kind of nerd, played a lot of PC Games or read a ton of fantasy books. I had some "friends" to hang around with, but there never was some kind of deeper connection. I would not talk about my problems with them. Only watch movies or something like that. By now I only have contact with one "friend" of school times. The first true friend I found was online! A girl I chatted with via some music portal, because we had similar interests. Now 12 years later, she still is one of the people I trust and appreciate the most. We only lived about 30 km apart, so we met occasionally and texted daily. Now i live 750km apart from her and we are still in close contact. If I suffer from hard times, she is the first person I talk with.

Other people i have met via student life. Most of them were crap. No interest in deeper connection, only focused on their own needs. Egoistic. Backstabbing. But a few were quite noble. I met my now best friend on my first day at university, he is not that good talking companion XD but i would put my life in his hands. If I needed help, he was always there for me. My second best friend is my roommate. One year ago i was searching for a new roommate and so we met. First there was a bit distance, but now we have a really good and deep connection. I can talk with him about everything. Not common to find in a male friend ;-)

So what i want to say is: don't lose hope! Try new ways finding friends! Even online. I also met some good people I chat and play with via Steam or other gaming platforms. If it is hard for you to get into contact directly, try online chats to practise. You would be surprised, how many people are out there, who also seek a deeper and profound friendship!

All the best!

 

I don't have any friends and I feel good.

 

I don't have any friends and I probably never have had a real one. I had thought of some people as friends in the past, only to discover that was not the case. Sure, it bothers as hell to fell alone but, I have come to realize that I shouldn't be chasing people around to have friends. In my case that is specially true because I have so much to fix in my life (including reboot from my porn addiction of course) and I should be my own friend before expecting others to like me.

I think working on our self-improvement (which is pretty much the only improvement we can control) is a good way to heal the pain of having no friends.

 

I have friends, but with school and how I manage my time I really haven't been very social much the past couple of months.

I think the loneliness is hurting my ability to recover since I spend so much time at home now. Maybe this isn't a problem for everyone but I consider myself an extrovert, but with the lack of social interaction outside of classes I've been feeling pretty low some days. Would love some advice on how to get out of this hole.

 

Read the book, "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Seriously, read it. It will teach you how to listen, which will make people want to hang out with you more.

 

having no friends is better than having unhealthy friends or being around people where you feel uncomfortable.

i think friendship is more about being there for each other, n not having endless hours of chats every day. it's okay to be on hi-bye level, if you have the trust that the other person will help you or celebrate with you and the vice versa.

some people like indoor games, some like to read, some like to make friends...it's all right to not be 3 out of 3.

 

man i know what you feel and i just want to say that i am your friend, and now you can't say that you don't have any friend, you have me, and you know, having 4 good friend is better than having 15550 likes or 200000 followers, so don't look at groups of friend telling you they all have a great life, just find people like you and build a solid relation with them, you will be more happy like that.

 

I don't have any friends either. It would be nice to have friends. However, I'd rather be friendless than to settle for people I that I don't really wanna be around.

 

Thought I would chime in.
When I was in high school I thought I had a lot of friends but along the way and when it was over something hit me.
These people were not my friends they were just people I spent time with partying or whatever.A lot of them took advantage of me ect..
Now years later I have one friend I talk to from high school which is married so see him once every three months and another bro about once a week.
I read. How to win friends and influence people. Its a good book but heres what it comes down to.
If your a person that cares about going out every night, driving a new car on parents money. Ect. Or
If your a computer guy that likes computers and gadgets.
Or your more reserved but like to go sking or something and your focus in your life is improving yourself.
Were all different people.
Some with certain talents some smarter some not. Some with more passion some with less. All different circumstances.
The point im trying to make is. You don't necessary have to like everything your friends likes (it helps for conversation). But what you value in life, your mind set.
For me thats what kind of friend i would want someone who is trying to do what i am in a broad sense.
O your trying to change your life,
Your trying to be more positive.
O you think theres more to life than just catering to yourself.
You believe in grinding it out., no matter what it takes.
Lets be friends so we can push each other to be better, greater in our own unique way.
Ask your self next time your with people,
Are these people helping me reach my goals, are they kind and listen to what i say. Or are they just some people you drink beers with.

The more positive people the better, I wish I had more like minded friends around but I used to hate being alone but now i love it, i recharge my batteries when im alone.
Fake friends are like fapping, you feel some relief and enjoyment for a second but then you realize all the time and energy your wasting.

Love you All!
Day 26 Stay strong brothers!
