I don't have friends, but I don't want any. I like being on my own.
The only reason I get lonely is because I'm constantly liking people who will never like me back.

I get lonely at times when I actually give it thought. Luckily I don't think about it often :) I'm too busy making stuff, lol.

Yes, I'm very lonely.
I like people who give me the impression that they don't like me in return.

I've always thought of myself as a pretty much a "self contained unit". I don't need a lot of external stimuli to keep me happy. I can pretty entertain myself, I've been doing it since birth so I'm good at it. That's not to say I don't love a good party with friends and family on occasion, but I don't live for them like I think NT's do. You know, the TGIF syndrome , lets go out and get plastered because it's Friday.

Wouldn't that be classified as "wanting friends"?

I did in the first grades of primary school. I was a LOT worse at communication back then, was VERY inflexible and didn't have a sense of humour... and I was violent, too; so I scared my classmates. Nobody wanted to be friends with me and some even made fun of me.

I don't feel lonely now. I have a few good friends which are all I need. I don't care about having a lot of friends... just a few close ones.

I don't know what it feels.

Frequently I'm alone, but I'm comfortable.

You mean get lonely for people don't you. No. I don't. I get loney for my pets (rarley though) and certian inamaite objects but never ever for people and I never have. This is gonna sound really weird but sometimes I get loney for myself when I have to talk to or interact with someone I don't really want to.

That's me. I do get really lonely sometimes, but most of the time am happy by myself, doing whatever it is I want to do.

There are some times I'd really like companionship though (or especially a significant other), but...oh well :(

I'm lonely. I'm sure it's partly a phase, as I'm 17 and hormones are still unstable. Companionship would be nice, though I mostly prefer being alone.
