I have no friends,no girlfriend,I've never been on a date and all I do is stay inside all day playing World of Warcraft and..."Enterntaining Myself"


I m sew lonelee

I have one friend, but a large family, so i spend time with them socially, every couple of weeks or so. And i don't live by myself.
I rarely have more then one friend at a time. I've had 'school' friends and 'work' friends before too, but I was never very close to any of them....though i have tried on occasion. I can make decent aquaintances if i try hard enough, but i'm not a very confiding or open peerson which puts people off getting close to me. Far enough as i don't want to be close to them... in an emotional sharing sense. Still i have had complaints about the way i'm often very standoffish.
I think i would be very unhappy if i didn't have my family because being alone all hte time can be hard. I had my own place for a while and it would often feel like i had fallen off the edge of the world or everyone else had died or something.... i could go weeks and not speak to another person.
I found that very hard, even though socialising is also very difficult for me. Its a no win situation!!

I haven't got friends. I have some family, coworkers, three neighbours I talk with and I also talk with parents of friends of my daughter. I had some friends before but I lost them. I usually loose friends when something changes in life (stop school - move - start studying, stop studying - start working).

I don't feel I'm missing anything important though.

What to do?

About not having friends? Well personally I don't feel like I should do anything about it. I finally reached an age/ status that gives me the freedom to choose myself whether I need friends or not. For now, I don't need friends.

Sour grapes, much? Any difference in our social simulation needs, is not to disqualify them or very honest to rationalize defeat.

I now have one friend outside work.....Drummer_Girl.

She is an amazing person and fun to be with. She has shown me how to have fun and accepts me for who I am.

I have one friend and a whole lotta enemies that I did not intend to make. C'est la vie.

Edit: Actually, I do have a few "friends", although I'd say I'm only a close friend to one. It depends on how you define "friend". There is only one person I go out of my way to hang around with and there are people that hang around with him that have learned to tolerate me.

I had a few friends when I was in school but those weren´t close friendships. I do have an online aspie friend, a girl I´ve corresponded with for nearly two years.

I don't have friends either. When I was on Xanax and Paxil, I was a completely spontaneous and lovable guy who could have had just about anything. While under the influence of the drug I felt no urge to develop friendships. Now that I am off the medicine and now on Lexipro, I wish I had friends but don't know how to make them. At one point, I was one of the most recognizable people on campus. That was 9th grade. I'm nearly a senior now and now I have little persuasion. Although I still am acquainted with hundreds of people, none of these acquaintances develop into friendship.

I think it is healthy to want friends, so it is probably good to be off those drugs. I was on Zoloft and Buspar and they did nothing but make me want to vomit and make me dispondent. Life isn't about being even all the time.

Indeed, suppressant drugs only further obstruct catharsis.

I have quite a few friends but don't get too see them that much.

I have a whole bunch of friends who accept me for who I am.

Cool they must be good people you socialise with. Are they aspies?

From middle school to college today, I could never make and maintain close friendship w/ others. I have so many acquitances that I finely get along w/ in school but they never bothered to become close friends w/ me. Thus, I could never attach to them. I call and email them, but they don't respond back. I ask them out, but they don't ask me out. I'm usually alone, at home, I eat lunch by myself. As a loner walking in public, I get jealous when I see friends together, and boys+girls hugging and kissing each other. I tend to be a gregarious young man, and I think that you can do lots of fun things when you're w/ friends all the time (e.g. chess, basketball, dance). I'm sick and tired of goin to the mall, movies, and games by myself. This is how I am. However, I do have an online friend who I chat w/ daily. She's nice and we graduated from the same high school last year.
