I wonder if that’s why I have so few friends irl. Maybe partly that and partly how quiet I am, but I think being so quiet is part of what makes me such a bore to be around.
I have an online friend I used to chat with all the time, but I think she got bored with our chats.
I’m ■■■■■■■ lonely. It’s so much lonelier around here without pets.
It get’s better It’s Just a tiny ruff spot. I’m sure things will brighten up for you soon.
You have to find someone who appreciates you as you are.
Sorry you’re feeling lonely,
I feel lonely a lot of times too.
Real life friends are totally over-rated,
They’re high maintenance and never available when you really need them.
Right?
Who needs them…
Well, I need at least one good real-life friend to hang with. My best bud irl has a wife and three kids, so he often is doing the family thing and doesn’t have time to hang with me. I get it, though, don’t hold it against him.
I used to feel similar about people online just up and disappearing. Now I need a ton of space when people get clingy to me online.
I’m a bit confused. I wanna know if I ought to have friends or engage in my community. IDK. I don’t really want to, but they keep telling me my strategy to isolate forever isn’t tenable.
I understand,
My best friend is in medical school and completely doesn’t have time for me.
When we do talk,
She just unloads all her first world problems.
Its strange trying to make friends as an adult,
I guess people make them at work,
I wouldn’t know, haven’t been in an office in years.
Maybe you’ll meet someone cool at your new job (when it comes along).
I get a bitchy headache when I give attention to anyone for any length of time so I soon lose patience and get cranky. If I suppressed the pain, I’d be boring, too. But there’s nothing boring about someone who is in pain and sounds like they want to pick a fight lol.
My situation is kind of the same, but I feel like o just loose interest in people. Come to find out I’m an extremely strict person. Now I just try to have fun and be more like myself, when I remember too lol.
getting a pet doesn’t sound like a bad idea. in fact, i should get a pet myself maybe.
I can relate to this. I am even more quiet in real life.
Maybe getting another Cat at some point is a good idea @freakonaleash.
I miss my last dog too.
My father wants us to get a dog.
@freakonaleash
I feel the same sometimes
Don’t be so hard on yourself
Get a pen and paper and challenge your negative thoughts
I’m useless at making friends
I can make friends but I haven’t got the confidence to ask someone out for coffee
Being with friends requires energy, attention, and sharp mind to make interesting conversation. I don’t think I have such good energy and sharp mind. So I am not good at making friends, too. But posting on a forum is different as it allows you to react to people at your pace. So come here and post @freakonaleash
Puts hand up as another boring person . I’m the healthier alternative to watching paint dry.
