But i really want people i interact with in life.

You’ll get used to it. I was upset about it, but years have pasted now and I have learnt to be in my own company much of the time.
Wouldn’t have it any other way now…

I have heard volunteering is a great way to meet new friends. It could be worth a try.

It depends on what your definition of a friend is. If they are people I have close meaningful relationships with as defined by TV, books, or movies than no I have no friends. But if they are people I talk to occasionally or get along with then I may have a few. The sad truth is that the only close relationships I really have are with family. If less than a hand full of people died today there would be no one to call on the phone tomorrow. That’s how it is. One thing going to work provided was a loose group of friendships that mainly ended once I stopped working at the places they were formed. My online friendships are welcome but feel empty without personal contact and most of them involve family in some way. I have always had difficulty making friends.

What do we do when we have difficulties making friends and keeping friends?
My friends I had will not answer my email or text and want nothing to do with me even when I bought them a gift 
Maybe I lost them when I was sick…
When I had symptoms…
Maybe it’s because I was a bad friend then…
I can only try to improve myself.
I gave my x boyfriend $25 as a gift because I love him dearly and appreciate him but we do not chat and he lives far away but we are
I have been a bit upset too that I don’t have friends.
But I sent a email to a old friend who was my best friend and she replied and said we are friends for ever.
That made me so happy but she has friends and husband and children and a job and lives far away so we only send a few emails a year which isn’t enough but it’s something and I’m grateful for that something.
So I have one friend but we only send a few emails a year and don’t meet but I’m scared if we met if it would be awkward between us.
We used to be able to laugh together.
I have so much to be grateful for too.
But it would be nice to have friends.
I had a chat friend once and we chatted every day.it was so nice and he was funny and interesting and clever but he wants nothing to do with me now.
The pen pal thing sounds good.
Is there a chat ?
That’s not religious.
So many of us that don’t have friends to hang out with,chat with etc
We have the forum and we have each other.
Love 
to you
Love to us !!!
