A year ago I moved to the sea to be near my father and brother. My sister also came along. Now all the family is here but now I have no friends and I cannot make new friends because of social withdrawal.
@anon48059102 I have trouble maintaining friendships with people who don’t suffer from mental illness. It’s taken years but I finally have a few friends and a partner, all of which suffer from mental health and physical health issues that require understanding…
There seems to be a mutual respect and care from other people in the same position.
I lost a lot of friends when I got sick… but after a couple of years I found myself with the right kind of friends. Maybe look for a support group in your area… if you can, start going to a friendly and quiet local cafe. get to know the regular customers as you become one yourself.
Funny enough I met my best friend at a cafe I frequented during one of my worst depressions. The cafe got me out… gave me a little purpose a couple of times a week and eventually I met more people.
Don’t beat yourself up. The world can be so cruel… But there are so many more of us out there waiting for a friend… and there is someone waiting for you as well xo
I do not have friends either. but I see the woman I agisted of as a friend although we never hung out but I could chat with her which is unusual but we spoke about my horse.
I have a bf and have contact with some of my family but no friends.
I also have my holy neigher.
I like to believe I have spirit friends that just can not stand me in person but who live my eons and spirit.
My bf has friends but some of them attacked me with invisible weapons and jealous of me and nasty.
I do not have online friends either except this forum.
Maybe you can be happy without any or maybe one day you will make some.
Hi Friend, Even i do not have friends and know how to make friends. But still there are few who talk to me and i talk back for i exist and do something. I treat that as something that i can look upto and lead that life smoothly. Looking at positive side of it.
