I have 2 friends left but they’re in different countries to me now. We email each other occasionally. And that’s pretty much it !

I lost all my offline friends during the worst of the onset of SZ. :frowning: There are people who I interact with on diabetes forums and other types forums, and sites, but I don’t know if they like me or not. To be honest, I don’t even care. I just try to enjoy each conversation as it is, and not to expect anything. Life should be fun.

I had a friend that I’d go out to lunch with periodically, but the last time we saw each other, I got the impression that it was really the last time. She seemed frustrated to me, but I don’t know why. I tried to be positive, but it seemed to annoy her. :woman_shrugging:

It’s easier to make friends with other mentally impaired people. We understand and trust each other. If you find yourself wanting a new friend, go to rehabs or AA or the nearest ward.

Of course, having friends among normies is a good investment. Because they can be of help with practical matters.

I have one person I haven’t seen since 2002. We email occasionally. I met her while inpatient.

I have one person I PM with here who I really like, but as with everhopeful, that person is in another country. Still cherish the friendship. :blush:

None, except for my partner, and I am completely fine with that.

Do you think u could research about groups for ppl who are working in their mental health?

Any friend you’d like to contact from ur school?

Church?

Or what about going on a dating site and put looking for friendship in the profile?

I have one x boyfriend I’m friends with and he doesn’t have internet and lives overseas but I call him once a fortnight.

I have another x who I’m Facebook friends with and went beautifully with but he ghost me and won’t answer text or call so we don’t have contact bug I see what he posts on facebook.

I have a boyfriend.

I don’t have friends as such or near by.
My friend overseas only has me too so we only have each other as friends.

I don’t have female friends but I have “imaginary female friends “.
As such although I think they are real.

Most people are disrespectful and horrible specially women so it’s refreshing when a woman is genuine nice to me.

The only friends I have are my family and the people I have met on this website. I don’t know anybody else…I do know my father’s friend. He’s terminally ill with cancer. He was really good to my father as a friend. He is a whiz with engines and stuff, he knows everything there is to know about old school engines. My father looked up to him and he didn’t do that with anyone else. When my father was terminally ill he was very helpful and compassionate to my father. He used to call me or my brother once a month and see how we are doing but lately not so much. He has his own problems to deal with. I’d like to go see him but I don’t know what to say.

I have 4 people I consider close friends, but I haven’t seen much of them the last couple of years. They are mostly busy raising kids. Also my health is not good so I don’t really take much initiative these days.

I guess my colleagues at work are good friends. Kind of friends that you don’t get too close to, but that works both ways, I’m fine with that.

Do you really feel like you don’t deserve friends? What happened? I think you’re a good person
