"So - do you have any friends?"

Post Reply New Topic

irl no, online yes.

IRL, I don't know.
Online, yes.

Mostly I have had 1 or two friends at a time, or friends of a single friend who later became my friends. I don't have any now either online or Irl. Not even sure how I would go about making friends.

I have zero friends, and I don't know how to make any, never did. I had friends in grade school, and then have had progressively less each time we moved, as I don't know how to get friends. The last move (in high school) I had no friends at all except my girlfriend/fiancee (who cheated on me and left, and took my daughter from me ).

I'd really like to have some friends, and I like Graelwyn's definition. I don't think I need human contact as much as most people, and most of my interests (books, shows, games, etc.) are basically solitary. But I would still like friends, and people to talk with that sort of thing about. I do get lonely sometimes (though I think far less than most people would in my situation).

I don't have the foggiest clue how to get any. In college (which I can't finish-yay) my mom would tell me to go to these groups, but I was too scared of them (and I don't know what I'd have gotten out of them). I don't know what to do when I'm there. Last thing I ever tried was in December 2005, where I went to a group attached to a church (sort of a singles thing, I guess), and they took my contact info, but never emailed back. Probably for the best

Wow, I didn't mean to ramble on.

I do not mind a bit of rambling.

Online, I have a few. IRL, I have work acquaintances, but no real friends, and I'm okay with that. People ask me "Don't you get lonely?" My answer: "No, I don't."

No

Shocking but true!! !! I do have one friend!
Never even argued once (touch wood)

explain that!

I've got two best friends. I suspect they might have AS. They label themselves as nerds,
have very few hobbies and don't like socializing too much. They are great friends though.
They don't talk a lot about their personal issues and are not interested in mine, but
they have always been my friends and even though i would like someone to share my feelings with,
i wouldn't trade them for anyone in the world

None at all. I did have one good friend between since 4th grade, up until high school. We sort of drifted apart. And I couldn't naturally socialize with him anymore the way I used to.

I don't have many friends, either online or offline. I have only 1 friend in RL that I feel comfortable with, even though I don't talk to her much anymore, but I'm still in good terms with.

I'm probably schizoid... but I'm not a sociopath and I do feel horrible if I hurt people. I've tried having friends before but it just takes too much effort, I am much happier and stable by myself. From my experience recently and in the past, if I try to reach out to people and attempt friendships or more, everything always goes awry. Emotions fly and everything gets ugly, the person I try to befriend isn't the cause, it is me.

I have 2 friends- One being my twin brother(Who is very much "NT", way different from me) and my best friend from high school.

I would call my roommate in Freshman yearmy "sorta" friend, but not really 100%.

Its best to have under 5 good friends.

Technically I've no friends. I only 'befriend' people by force of circumstances i.e. at work, school.
If work or school never existed, I'd have been alone 24/7.
It's not that I hate social interactions. I kind of enjoy one-one conversations with the right people but I can get very attached to somebody for a day and not know how to bid goodbye.
The first encounter with anyone is always the most exciting because of the novelty and the time constraint. Sustaining a friendship is the real challenge for me probaby because I'm too tight with my lifestyle to accomodate those of others.
I suppose I could be a good friend if I try. But it just seems that social interactions are commonly fed by gossiping, whining, complaining and the other elements that constitute a classic smalltalk.

I often see that most people at school are together with groups of friends, but I am often alone.

ive got four really good friends and some quite good friends at any social club or school/colledge i go or have been to
