Who has no friends?

That's a tough one. I'm sure that I annoy most people with my Chatty Cathy mentality. Why do chatty people have Cockney accents, or why are people with Cockney accents so chatty? I was never able to figure that one out.

I get the feeling I'm the only aspie that's well-liked in high school. Everybody seems to like me because I always seem to have a blunt but witty remark ready.

Friendship is a sureal topic for me, because I have a hard time figuring out who my real friends are, offline and I have many more friends online, it seems.

As of last Friday, my grand total of friends has dropped to a big, fat zero. It lasted just a little over a year, and for months the friendship was on life-support anyway. I just couldn't seem to stop screwing things up. Over and over again, I'd do something stupid or say something I shouldn't have (this was in no way helped by the male-female nature of the friendship, but that's another story altogether). Anyway, I'm pretty sure it's over for good this time. I'm just now beginning to see--after a brief period of thinking maybe things could be different--that this whole experience was nothing more than a blip on the radar screen. An anomoly. I'm resigned to the fact that friends and other sorts of relationships (excluding family) just aren't in the cards for me.

My friends change all the time, as I think I have a friend, but then they go and do something to show they're not, but still expect me to feel comfortable than that, I base friends on the number of people I can trust or rely on outside of my family and at the moment I feel I have none. A few months ago I would have said one or two but that went pear shaped and taught me not to trust people again for awhile.

Friendship is a very fluid affair. It changes like the flow of water.
