Hi, I’m having a hard time making new friends and socializing. What about you?

same here. Low energy and poor concentration made me less active and less attractive when making conversation with others. I can only make small talks rather than interesting, intelligent conversation.

If texting men in different parts of the country counts as a social life then I guess I can say I have one.

I haven’t made new friends for many years but I have a few friends from high school and from where I used to work. I rarely see them.

I haven’t made friends for years either.

I don’t have friends as such but do have my best child hood friend who emails me a few times a year but we don’t meet or call so it’s not much.

I like to believe I have friends in spirit :ghost:.

I don’t think they are imaginary friends or a delusion.
Two of them even said I’m their best friend.

I don’t have friends to hang out with .
I have my sacred neigh who is retired now and I visit her.

I email my x boyfriend sometimes because I want us to be friends and I love him and the babies but he is so short.atleast he replies but it is like two words.so no chatting there.

I am trying to get Anders to be my friend as in email me but he hasn’t replied to my emails.

My friends dumped me when I was psychotic and some because I didn’t work and they did and some because I was a Muslim for a year when I thought my father isn’t my real father but my real father is a Muslim so I became Muslim for a year and changed my name.
Two friends didn’t like that infact they hated it and ignored all my emails etc

I have you guyzzz :heart:

I have the woman I’m living with.she raised me too etc and I love her so much and she helps me so much.we sometimes go to the movies together or have once at least.we sometimes have breakfast together.

I don’t know if I can make friends anymore.
I think I can go on a dating site and maybe meet someone.

I volunteer work with some nice people but don’t know if I can continue volunteering or not.i will have to have a talk to the manager about what tasks I can and can’t do and I want the pregnant woman to back off and stay away and the man takes a minute to decide and while I’m waiting for him my body twitches and it feels awful so I should not work with him.nothing against them . It’s just how it is.maybe they want power over me.

I keep believing I have friends in spirit :ghost:.
I love :two_hearts: the thought of that .
Real friends but why are our bodies not together?
Why do nt we hang out irl?

I love :two_hearts: you guyzzz.

I know I’m not everyone’s cup of tea but I appreciate this forum and all you guys.
We are like friends in a way I reckon .

:two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts::two_hearts::heart::two_hearts::two_hearts:

Wishing us better social lives.

I have many ‘friends’ but don’t see them regularly, right now I’m looking for girlfriends (female friends) as they seem to be more mature and comprehensive, I have fun with my male friends but I kinda don’t need them too much, right now I need that girl contact lol

Having this girl friend I found lately really makes me see things different, it’s very important, also I talk about girls I like to her and sing love songs as practice :sweat_smile:

Family, fiancée, her friends and family, and you guys on here. No friends of my own in real life. I don’t know if I’m ready for that yet

“Social life”?! That’s not in my dictionary.

People don’t like mental illness where I live. They’re always saying they’re violent and a lot of ridiculous things that are more true, of them. Because the people saying all these things are very dishonest and abusive.

I agree :100: it has such a bad stigma to it that it’s almost impossible to educate them.
The television is their teacher and they believe it like a bible

I have some online people that are my friends. I go out walking and see people, but only talk a little sometimes. I guess it’s better than how things used to be, where I didn’t talk to anybody. Much of the time I might be delusional or maybe algogia or just lacking in regualar social skills. Guess I never developed them properlly. Maybe I’m just mentally abnormal. Well, that maybe an understatement. Some people seem to think I’m normal though.

It depends on the mood. Online friends doesn’t count at all in my perspective

When talking to someone online I can still feel stuff so maybe it counts but the communication is so poor compared to face-to-face that it most likely lacks a lot of needs having a RL friend covers.

So online friend =/= RL friend
