It seems like others "in real" life, not on the computer have a lot of friends. It seems like I am always the one calling them or trying to make plans. When I do see them, which lately is rare, we have a great time and enjoy each others company or so it seems, we laugh a lot and like to go places not just talk on the phone.

I dislike talking on the phone for the most part.

I feel like I do not have a "best friend" which is what i wish I had- someone to talk to everyday-in that case, I guess it would, a lot of the time, have to be on the phone, okay some phone talk is fine lol.
I stopped hearing from my old "high school friends" a long time ago. And looking back on it, I realize that I always had to be the one to show initiative and call them if I wanted to hang out or do something. As time went on, nothing changed. The distance only grew.

My old "best friend" from high school; he never even bothered to call me when his son was born. I found out a few weeks later in casual conversation. Thanks buddy.

Eventually I kicked all those people off my Facebook. Don't know why I had them on there in the first place. I don't need lots of fake people on my Facebook to make it look like I have lots of friends. Then I de-activated my Facebook.

Now I live a few thousand miles away, and I don't have any real friends. And I'm okay with that.
