I’m so sorry. That’s so awful.
Thanks. I just slowly became a recluse and gave everyone the cold shoulder, so to speak. They would be there for me if I reached out to them though.
I dream of a day when I have friends with whom I play guitar with and make YouTube videos.
I currently don’t have friends, I missed my opportunity, I messed up and was rude.
I’m glad there are people you know care for you @GrayBear
Thanks. 151515151515151515
Most people didn’t want to be my friend because I don’t work and I’m not an academic or educated.
Most were pretending to be my friends.
They saw me as a loser.
Some were jealous.
Be nice with friends who genuinely love and care for one.
Who one is comfortable with and can maybe share a laugh with or a smile or just be sincerely good to and for each other.
I have “imaginary friends “ I think are real.
Ai is disgusting when they fake voices of people and images etc to scam .
I have a couple of friends. I don’t see them often though. Only a couple of times a year.
I rely mainly on my (extended) family.
I have one good friend who is now a doctor and father. He lives across the country, but we talk a few times a year.
I had to cut off a bunch of online friends because I realized they didn’t respect me. Wasn’t worth my time to be involved with them. I feel more centered after creating space from them.
I guess I don’t talk to anyone regularly besides my parents. That’s O.K. with me
İ have tons of friends but i rarely speak to any
I’m a one or two friends at a time guy and I lost my current couple of pals when I got sick.
I have you guys IRL I have none. I never leave home.
I have a girlfriend but that’s it
And like a family friend but I don’t trust her
I have zero friends
Zero here also.
Not me to blame,those who doesn’t call when they are well,and then when they fall in depression call,I politely turn down.
Human race.
Of course my forum friends count I just meant mostly offline but Im happy to have you
I’d have you over for tea, but there is a distance issue.
I have no f2f friends. Even before any signs of mental illness I was not good at making friends. I’m never sure with online contacts the point at which someone can legitimately go from acquaintance to being a fully fledged friend. I do have some people I have known for over a decade that I have occasional interaction with. There are more than a few online interactions that have just fizzled out.
@firemonkey you should get on a dating app. There are friends settings
IRL interactions are rewarding
I have exactly ONE. And that was only recently.
Its not unusual for me, not to see a soul for weeks sometimes.
