Is it weird to have no friends?
I feel so weird sometimes. Like, am I the only one? I live in a town where everyone knows everyone. I’m close with my family which is great and I’m well off because of that. But sometimes I wish I had some friends and than I beat myself up about wanting to have different people in my life. I’m doing ok. It just comes and goes and I was hoping to hear others perspectives.
@KatKat1234 Hi. Consider perhaps that family is a “closed system.” Same set of thoughts and stories. It might be enriching to meet people outside of that. Being from a small town might make it difficult to experience much more than a slightly larger “closed system.” Eventually, because of a job opportunity or something else, you might get the opportunity to move to a larger community. That can be a really great opportunity to find people with the same interests. But here is perhaps a caution, you might be in for a bit of a shock. It might be a bit overwhelming since you might not have encountered so many different groups and ideas. If you’re on social media, it might give you the impression that you know a lot of different people, but social media tends to be a “closed system” as well. Making new friends can take some work and skills. You might have a bit of a rough start on learning these skills if you don’t have much practice outside of your family. But skills can be acquired.
Hi! I'm answering kinda late but me too I have no friends! I thought I was the only one here with no friends 😂 I feel better now knowing that I'm not alone. I don't live in a small town but somehow I just talk and spend my free time only with my family. Especially with my uncle. I love him sm! Me too I wish I had some friends but I just can't connect with anyone at school or in my class. I just feel so different . I have different interests and they think I'm weirdo because of that. I'm just tired of going to school everyday and feelingso out of place. I hope one day I'll find someone with the same interests as me. If you feel lonely or just wanna talk lemme know I'm always open for a convo:)
@KatKat1234 hello there, there is time in life when one is maturing and growing up, so that comes with wanting to know new people and new perspectives. So i believe also that longing for human contact and proximity is a thing we all need in our lives. I think I have felt that way sometime. Have a wonder full day and take care.
