Anyone have friends when they were younger?

Post Reply New Topic

I've been quite lucky with friendships, I've always had at least 2 friends at one time. When I was a kid I used to come out with the most innapropriate/memorable things but no one seemed to mind most of my friends still stuck by me no matter what I did next.
But even though I've had plenty of friends I haven't managed to keep them if I don't see them virtually everyday so when I've left school I'm going to try extra hard to keep in touch. especially one of my friends who seems to be the only best friend I've hah where I can be totally myself with and I'd be all over the place if he wasn't there to have a good moan about things to

Well... I used to live in the US. Now I live in Canada.

I would say that I have some views that are leaning towards socialism. I do believe in democracy, however. I don't think that money and big business should have the power that they do.....

Does that help?

Yep! I disagree but ok.

Well... you are only 14. People change a lot over time.... sometimes. You never really know how you will end up feeling about things in the end.....

I had my first friends when I was about 9. I only can manage a two on two conversation, otherwise I am left out.

I used to have friends when i was a child, 3 of them were girls 1 of them was a boy but i had problems with him alot. I recently noticed that i dont get along with boys. I get angry at them easily only when im with girls i feel at ease, its just weird.

It was grade seven that I first really started having a lame social life.

Off topic, but it nice to know there are aspies here that share my political views, although I shall never leave this country, because I feel it is my duty to stay hear and fight for what I feel is right.
Sorry, getting a little excited

I've always had one or two friends.. I was actually a leader in elementary school and kids followed me and did what I said! Amazing, isn't it ?

But the problem is that even as a very young child, I was insanely loyal to my friends and I expected the same from them who were only children and were transient as children are. So when they found other friends/girlfriends I was devestated each and every time. I still carry those scars and it greatly affects my 'adult' relationships. I am starting to come to the point where I am not sure I will like anyone ever again.

I also have a different definition of the word 'friend' than most people. I do not have work 'friends' or school 'friends' like most people have (eg someone to sit next to when you don't know anyone else.. ect) I define the word "friend" like I define the word "love" - absolute

I only had a few true friends, like friends I'd do stuff on weekeneds with. But those few friends I'm still friends with now. There was a whole group I hung out with but I wouldn't really call them friends. But now I have a huge group of friends that I do stuff with all the time.

I moved to Canada because I married a Canadian. I didn't leave because I am anti-American. Sorry if I gave that impression..... My husband just got a really good job here so we moved.

I'm the exact opposite actually, I had few friends when I was younger but from the end of secondary school onwards I tended to have lots of friends in school/university and a few closer friends who I'd actually meet up with outside school.

I did when I was small, yes.
