I have no friends in real life and I'm just peachy keen. You don't need friends to be happy <3
i second what said! the only people i talk to are my significant other & my family lol.
you learn to not let it bug you after a while!
Know what's great about being an introvert? When I come home.. it's just so, relaxing.
In all my friendships that I've experienced, they always made me feel bad when I didn't want to do the things they wanted to do and I felt obligated to do things with them, even though it wasn't my thing (bars, drinking, dancing. Nope! nope! NOOOPE!). I decided, I don't need friends. I'm the jack of all trades. I do what I want, when I want! :D
But if you need an online friend, I'm your gal lol
mmm, been having these exact thoughts lately. I realized, 10 years after high school and going through college and everything, I don't have any real friends either. I had people I hung out with, but they never stuck around. I have just a bunch of acquaintances now and only talk to or hang out with them in certain situations. Some of the people I considered "friends" these past few years have been unreliable and used me. I even had one that I was close to for 2 years who was putting me down and made me feel awful that I had to let go. I feel like people have just pushed me aside, I feel like an afterthought when they finally give me their attention. I am an introvert, so not having to deal with these type of people has caused me not to stress out so much anymore.
I think definitely it's hard to make friends in adulthood. People walk around with barriers around them and/or pigeon hole themselves in their own established circles.
Hmmm. I'm not an introvert but I have no friends right now. Most of my old friends never made much effort to talk to me, I think they assumed I was happy being alone. When I get a job I might try reconnect with some of my best friends though.
I just witnessed my girlfriend go through this. She tries to avoid her family because of how she grew up and all her friends treat her pretty poorly if she doesn't do what they want and I had to help her through it. We didn't go to their Christmas Party because we were already busy and they threw a fit and still haven't talked to her. Having friends is honestly so much work and not worth it most of the time. At least, it feels that way. I've gone through so many friends because there's no one that's 100% drama free, just try to make the best of it and make friends on here or in other games you play. That's what I typically do. It's not to get off the computer or switch games and be away from everything when I absolutely need it. Good luck. <3
Im not even really sure what a friend is...Seriously. Ask ten people and you might get 3 "stock" answers and the rest are all different. People are exhausting anyway, lol
I only have friends on the internet, but it doesn't bother me too much. I've never been a fan of being around a lot of people.
Having friends is overrated anyway and they can be a lot of work to keep up with. Focus on yourself and be your own best friend! I know its easier said than done, I'm working on it myself. After having many "friends" use me and keep me around for the own benefit then ghost when they get a new boyfriend or new friends has taught me not to put too much value to people who say they are your "friend" but rather value people who show the effort of someone who cares, be it a peer, family, or even us internet strangers :)
