I have friends yes. But been a long time I didn’t hangout with them. I speak to them videochat daily though.
Not really. Just aquintsnces. I do have one “friend” who himself is so diagnosed but we don’t have good chemistry.

I’m alone and don’t have any family except for my sister, brother-in-law, nephew, and niece. They live 1020 miles away. Mother lived here, but she died in 2018.
I have two friends, other clients of my psychiatric care provider. We only talk on the phone.

Yes. I have some Bahai friends, fb friends, friends in the house, and I consider my sister a close friend. I also write to a friend I no longer live near.

I have no friends anymore.
My illness was untreated for nearly two years and I scared everybody off who was around me at the time.
I have not had a friend IRL now for over 6 years.
It hurts

i have a few friends irl and online but they dont know about my sz
Ive always struggled to make friends with my disorder. I have several online aquaintences, which is more than i used to have. Lonliness and isolation has been a big part of things for me.
Are they Iranian? Bahai is a religion in Iran.
No. All American. All 3 of them are former Catholics.

Yes, I have friends. But some times I miss having a close female friend to pal around with constantly like I did when I was younger, you know a bestie. Play canasta and sip iced tea and talk about the men type bestie.
Never. 
My brothers don’t know, but I’ve always been envious of the fact they have people they can communicate with. Even if those connections aren’t the best/healthiest.
They have no idea how it feels to feel so out of place everywhere.

well i have a friend in town, but we haven’t hung out in a long time since covid. he is my age and we went to school together. then there are a couple older ladies who were friends with my mom, who are now my friends as well. they invite me on vacations with them. one is rich haha. they wanted to go to wisconsin back in april but the trip was cancelled because covid. i was thinking it was not a good time to go to wisconsin when it will still be chilly, im guessing they wanted to go by the lakes or something. that’s about it, now that i don’t go to church anymore. i used to have lots of friends, but not stressed without them.

I don’t even know how to define the word “Friend” anymore, I’m terrified of getting close to people after my track record of deaths.
One was killed by cops, two overdoses, two suicides, one DUI crash, and one in a shoot out.
I’ve been soured on the idea years ago. I try to be friendly I guess, and I have people I enjoy, but I just have the constant fear revolving around the idea of a friend, it’s only ever ended bad.
