Who here has friends?

I make friends easily, but I never initiate the phone calls.
I have a problem calling anyone on the phone and rarely use it, in fact my recent call list has calls from Sept 2014 on it.

This usually happens to me too.

23

Two close friends, few of them that I know from college, but I keep it on distance. Junkies donā€™t count.
I say hi to a lot of people.

Just curiousā€¦how old are you?

I donā€™t have friends that close, but I have a few who I meet maybe once or twice a week. I have many names in my iPhone and Facebook. Iā€™ve always kept some distance from my friends, but it doesnā€™t make me that lonely.

26

I know lots of people to say hello to but I have difficulty pursuing people
I made a nice friend 2 years ago at college but she has fiancĆ© and lots friends she said we keep in touch via Facebook but I donā€™t like Facebook
I have a couple penpals

I suppose I do have quite a few Facebook friends - but physical friends I can hang out with? None

Not too bothered though. I keep myself entertained with movies and music etc. and speak to folk here. To be honest the sort of people who live in my tiny village are a bit prejudiced towards outsiders so am glad not to count them as friends.

I hope to meet sober friends in Alcoholics Anonymous. Had a friend but heā€™s using and doesnā€™t take life seriously enough for me to wanna continue the relationship.

Well there is my husband to be and my momā€¦ They count right?

I had to turn my back to a few using friends I had. Unfortunately due to their problems they were quite manipulative and exploitative. I donā€™t really blame them but for my own sake I had to step back.

They count. Yeah I have members of my family in my village. They are precious to me.

hi good luck with AA, my experience was positive-with help the desire to drink left after 1 week-that was 12 years ago. its been in recovery that pre-standing MI issues surfaced which is why Iā€™m here.

Donā€™t attend AA meetings anymore(still sober) but now have 2 close friends-1 of which also attended AA: birds of a feather and all!

My cat is my friend because I feed her and scratch her.

I have 3. me, myself and i. I spend too much time alonešŸ˜•. To balance out the post however never know what the future holds. Ugh that sounded so wrong saying but needed to balance out the negative and positive i guess

I had friends but each time Iā€™m not well I accuse them of all kinds of things or insult them and so they have fallen away over the years, which is understandable. Also I stopped returning calls, couldnā€™t be bothered to listen anymore, stopped going out. I had some older friends who were good confidents but sadly they died of old age. Friends were important to me when I was younger - now Iā€™m in my fifties I canā€™t be bothered to dress let alone be enthusiastic about friends.

23, some people say Iā€™m wise upon my yearsā€¦kid at heart though. Whenever I see a cat or dog on the street, youā€™ll know Iā€™ll go nuts over it.
