What does one do when you realize you have no real friends anymore?

I feel like have no one anymore. No one to talk to, no one to share with, no one to do anything with.
I don't even how it all really happened. I had a few friends last year, now zip.
I was trying to date someone. It went well at first, but gradually the communication withered away. I tried, but the silence the was unbearable so i just called it off.
Now I have no one.
I don't know how to fix my life. I want so desperately to leave this stupid place and it's stupid people, but I have no where else to go. I feel so trapped in this miserable place.
I wish I would just disappear. At this point, most wouldn't even notice.

cold comfort is better than no comfort or worse, so here goes- it could always be far, far worse. at least you have talents and brains and some sense of the big picture. there are many folk who totally lack these things or even the basics, and live by the bare skin of their teeth, in tiny circumscribed worlds of privation. nobody pays any attention to these folk, however.

Can you find out how it happened? You know as well as anyone, that there must be some reasons/reasons? Is there anyone you can trust to ask?

You might be able to fix it if you find out why it happened. Social isolation is like a very slow form of death (I wish more people on this website would realise that).

I drink.

but I'm not physically able to get out there and make friends.

I also consider some of my online friends real friends. it's not much but it is something.

Zara, your situation is not unique or unusual. I have now lost contact with my last 2 friends, one I had known for 34 years, the other about 28 years so now the only people I see are shop workers or my family when I go to visit them.

I noticed in your profile, you have quite a few interests. Maybe you should take up some classes in drawing, and cooking. Maybe even join a gaming team you can communicate with. At least then you're out in the world, and not stuck.

I know I probably haven't put as much effort into maintain such relationships over the past year. Perhaps I am guilty of such. I spent most of last year quite depressed and it just shuts me off.

The past few days have been unusually hard on me with chronic insomnia and now falling sick. Makes a mind go a bit whack.
