I literally have no friends

YenSummer1337 September 10th, 2022

Since I was 13 years old and now I'm turning 18, I have felt alone and I have not been able to make a friend neither face to face or online, or have someone stay long enough in my life as to become good friends. I have felt alone all those years. Just have someone to have a good time, to talk, I don't know. I feel alone, and been feeling like that quite some time, other times I'm too distracted to think about it but I know still there at the back of my head. Other times I accept that I'm not gonna have any friends. Tomorrow is my birthday, I should be happy, excited about it but I'm not, instead I sort of feel down.

Happy Birthday!

Count me your friend. Can you explain why do you feel lonely and can't make friends? is it that you don't fit, are shy, introvert, social anxiety, etc?

You are not alone in this. A lot of people claim to be my friends (in front of me) but i doubt their words coz All those times when they had the opportunity to show their true friendship they abstained. So you see being surrounded by people who wanna stick to you isn't great either coz even leeches try to stick to the hosts? so better be alone than get into the wrong company like me.

Best of Luck 💕

Do u consider yourself your own friend? Thats where it starts.. self love. Sounds easy but it takes practice. Pick one thing u love about yourself and start there. Remember, u are loved, u are worthy,and your someone I would like to get to know and plant the seed that leads to a growing friendship. I know about lonely. I could be around 3 so called " friends" and felt completely alone. Not because they were rude or ignorant but it was how I felt until I learned to treat MYSELF like I would treat others. Your and young person with time to practice self compassion and being king to yourself. You might be surprised where that mindset take you!

I relate to this a lot. 23 with no friends lol. I'm a stay at home mom and the only person I talk to half the time is my own baby which isn't really much for conversation. So I understand the feeling of not having a social life outside of my own home and it sucks. It definitely takes a toll on you mentally. And Happy belated birthday I hope your day wasn't too blue. Anyway, I would love to be your friend if you'd have me since I'm a bit on the older side. If not, I hope you find the friends your looking for. I'm sure they'll come around and you won't feel quit as lonely. Wish you good luck

Hi, thanks it actually turn out to be pretty good, I had a good time.

Yes I would like to be friends and to be honest I sort of like to have friends that are not of my age because the teens that I came across with, I noticed that the conversations are better with others that are not of my age and their interests, they usually don't go with mine.

That's awesome! And great I'm glad you accept me. I'm still technically young though I feel like a fossil lol. My friends which we don't talk as much anymore, but the friends I do have tend to be slightly younger than me but that's mostly due to meeting them on games that I play.

@YenSummer1337 hey I feel you, at times I just want to close myself inside and stay there, but recently I embarked on a journey to help myself get better, but trust me, am grateful I don't have those many friends, what you see on social media is just fake, I think pressure on the internet has caused us to think that we are alone but no, you are not alone, I mean look at your family, do you get time to appreciate what they do for you. Everything in this world has turned fake, trust me you don't want to have a line of fake friends,, I know you are scared but hey, don't be, you are a strong lady and you need to appreciate that about yourself.

Happy birthday!^_^:)

I'm sorry you're going though a really tough time rite now and I know how you feel as I feel if ever friend I make isnt rlly or most of my friendships aren't reciprocated. Do you feel like evry time you make a friend they dont pay attention to you more or care for you? Or are they ghosting/ignoring you in any way?

@millipede03

Hi, thanks

Now answering to your question, I have never met someone who their only interest is being only friends, they either want something else or the conversations, they don't last long and become one-sided. I made a female friend, I think she was, but one day we were friends and the other it felt like we weren't, anyway she didn't really connect with me but more with my sister and the same happened with another girl
