Nah can tell youre mot that.

If you were youd be an escort
 
I can't contemplate not having any friends... How can that actually happen!

I also find the need to categorise friends in the way that some have a bit odd. You don't need someone to take a bullet for you to be your friend. Would you invite them to your house party / social gathering? Then they're a friend.
 
everyone's story is the same, the only real friends you had are childhood/ school friends, but as you grow up you drift apart..........very sad.
that's why i work the weekends because if not i'd be far too lonely, meeting the guys at work keeps me going until thursday, and then i get fed up on my own and look forward to saturday...........to stop depression whilst i'm at home i have loads of hobbies.

the loneliness isn't what kills your spirit though, it's BOREDOM, keep yourself occupied.

life isn't as good as when you were a kid anyway, because nothing beats running around in the summertime with your plastic swords and toy guns, with no worries in the world.
 
I had a friend once, didn't much care for him to be honest. Very needy, very clingy, you probably know the type. Always demanded to sit at the Captain's table, constantly repeating "Down Periscope!", and generally attracting enemy gunfire and putting the whole ship at risk. He couldn't swim, he probably attracted sharks, he got up late, and he nudged people whilst they were shooting. He mucked about.

You can't run a ship like that.

Yep. I'm just about as anti-social as you can get. Basically don't interact with anyone besides family members and customers/suppliers at work. Don't talk to people through games/over the internet with the exception of this forum. No social media. Don't even own a mobile phone.

You are not anti-social, you are asocial, there is a difference.

And I share your world.

The company of other humans is mostly overrated!

The strange thing is that all my (And my only) long term friends that I have kept over the years (And I am nearly 60 so I am no youf here) have all been my old Girlfriends, including the ones that have gone on to have husbands and families of their own, I have always kept in touch (Friends are rare, once a friend, always a friend!).

I am given to understand from my current girlfriends that this is very unusual! :confused:

However there is the possibility that I might actually be autistic (See other threads) so my experience should not be compared with most other peoples.

I have always been puzzled as to why my Girlfriends have always been so dedicated to me however?? :confused:

I am really not the easiest person to be with relationship wise.

The best analysis I think came from a girlfriend who said that once she realized that she had to treat me like a Cat everything started to make sense :p:p

Ho Hummn! :p
 
I got about 2-3 good mates. One of them moved back to the UK for a year, though we email and Skype at least once a month, whilst the other one moved to another city. We text near enough daily and speak on the phone at least once a week.

Other than that, not really interested. I do my own thing and don't need hangers-on.
 
I had some in school but I wasn't really bothered sometimes I would have to be pushed to go out. Always enjoyed my own company and never feel lonely. I have a fiancée now and she has friends and sometimes watching her trying to organise to go out makes me glad I don't have that worry.
 
dont have any , ive a neighbour whos single like me but i find every time i call she wants a favour doing (nah not that sort) and a polish guy at work i get on with who keeps asking me go on a pub crawl in plymouth (may do this some time and start a recommend bars in plymouth thread)
then my ex who betrayed me (but i take a lot of the blame for) we have a day out at the beach once a week , its a bit of a emotionally unhealthy friendship for me ie the wounds are remaining open , but its a long story
found it easy at school and so natural ,then when i went on holidays with my parents always made a friend ,same in my teens and twentys but then they all slipped away and i just had my partner and kids ,
now shes gone (mostly) and kids are in london /oxford so its just me and dogs
but im not trying to make any friendships got my computer ,blu rays music and nmd bodyboard
hey i live in cornwall life is pretty good :)
 
Nope, no real friends. As some have said i like my own company i have always been like that. I'm likeable enough and i have 'buddies' at work but as soon as i'm at another job i lose all contact with my old buddies in favour of concentrating on the new ones at work.
 
Had a good friend at school for a couple of years and used to hang around with a guy at Uni for a couple of years. Growing up in a tiny village there weren't many people around, none my age anyway, once siblings left home for Uni and being the youngest the last two years of school were pretty grim, it seems a lot of others at school were out drinking, partying and getting it on, but alas not me. That was a while ago though, nowadays not any true friends, parents still alive though so still enjoy going over for a meal and chat with them.e
 
This might be stating the obvious a little, but I guess we're not exactly getting a true cross section of the populous here. The guys that sit at their computers on a forum are saying they have no (real) friends? Surprise! (And that includes myself, I'm not having a pop)

I wonder if we had a bunch of people that don't really use computers and sit at them online all day, we'd get a very different response?

I'm just saying, on the one hand a lot of us are going 'oh good, it's not just me then', but actually that's not to say it's particularly 'normal'?

I agree.

I must count myself lucky compared to most of the people in this thread as I have 6 best friends who I see on a regular basis, some known for over 20 years. One friend who we have been best friends since we met in college 15 yeas ago. I see twice a week, he comes to see me and I go to see him. Has been like that since we left college, now he's married with kids and his relationship didn't change how often we meet up.

People in this thread should take note of that.

I love IT, its my hobby and my job. But soon as I get a moment to visit my friends and socialize, I drop everything and go to see them. Not spend time sat in front of a screen for hours while the world outside passes you by.

I had friends at junior school but they went to a different secondary school so we drifted apart. A secondary school I knew a lot of people but I was not really friends with anyone, more on the edge of several groups rather than being in them.

At Uni I had a few friends but we have again drifted apart over the years since then as we are in different parts of the country (or different countries even). Most of them are married now so tend to be busy with other things.

At work I've been friends with a few people but I expect, and have seen in the past, that if one of us leaves the company that will eventually drift away as well especially as we live all over the country and again beyond.

I don't mind being on my own to be honest but it would be nice to get out more once in a while.
