I now have zero irl friends; how bout you?

None to my name. And that’s ok too. Who needs them? I can keep myself very occupied.

Yeah i haven’t seen my old mates for years. Just me and the gf these days. Wish i had some mates in the area i could go out and have a feed with or something. I feel im a bit out of the swing of things when it comes to just hanging out with people.
Any ideas for how to find friends as a 30 yr old?

I’m kind of the same way. I’m a 65 year old male, and I’ve been in only one long term relationship.

I wish I could tell you, but watch out. You might end up 65 and with no friends.

I have 2 friends. Both in different countries though. So the 3 of us all live in different countries now.

So nobody that I can socialise with.

We don’t even email each other that often now either.

I miss my early 20s. I had friends and took a lot for granted.

I have several casual friends. However, I only see them when I see my good friends. They will invite me to things and I just don’t have the energy to go do those things.

The only people I really care about are my husband and children, my mom and dad, my brother and sister and her family and my three good friends.

I haven’t had friends for over ten years. I prefer it that way.

My photographer BFF who I would go shooting with passed of cancer in early March. I have been adrift ever since. I still have IRL friends, but none who I am as close to as I was with Ray.

None, but I feel like that would be different if I attended class in person and may also change when I start working. I used to have an elderly friend, but she ghosted me, and I honestly don’t know why.

Since these days in social network, one can find people who were born in the same hospital and send friend request :sweat_smile:

I interacted with one of my childhood friend we probably meet up this weekend.
Last time I met him was 19 years ago.

I prefer cats.

And acquaintances.

Friendships don’t last anymore.

I wish I had friends.

I have a couple x boyfriends that I’m friends with but we don’t meet or hang out as such .

I had a woman friend but we fell out of contact maybe because we had such different lives and she felt more in common with people who went to university and who work and have children and are married…
We were besties at one point.

I had friends I loved in the past but they didn’t want to be my friend because they work etc and I don’t.

Not having friends is worse because a woman here in area who is miss popular with heaps of friends and everyone thinks is perfect and she invites hate on me and bully vibes me with her friends, clients and nearby neighbourhoods.
They exclude yet pretend to include.
They disrespect and walk all over me etc.

Just today I was peaceful and friendly minding my own business and they walked over me with hate.
Maybe the sight of me annoyed them or something.

Happens pretty much daily for god knows how many years.

Turn the other cheek doesn’t help because god knows I’ve been doing that year after year and they keep hatin .

Same.
I don’t want IRL friends.
I can’t maintain even if I hit it off with someone.

Friends = responsibility and commitment

Inwonder if I should try to find a place to go during the day and start being around people.

Like the library. I can get away from the heat. And people are quiet.

I’m meeting up with a friend on July 24th.

I have an appointment every couple of months.

Family is more important to me.

I lost almost all my friends due to sz. There is one left, and meeting with him is always awkward:(
