I don't know if this belongs here but this sub-forum feels like home here. I don't have any friends. And I think I've gotten so used to it that I don't think about it much and then sometimes it hits me and makes me sad anew. There are friends here, probably the closest thing I have to friends. And facebook friends I never see in real life. So thank you all for being here. You make me feel less alone.

Hugs to you. And may God bless you.

I have a couple of friends in "real life" but I find it hard to shake off the idea that they find me ridiculous or annoying. I am deeply grateful for the people I know on social media.

thanks for your post. this stuff is hard to share. i don't have any friends either and feel mostly content as i'm majorly introverted to begin with, but some days it really hits. being all alone in the world. it's a comfort to know there are others.

Sounds like we should make a Skype group! I know I have friends I've never met in person, and it helps having when I'm feeling lonely.

Thanks for sharing with us! I feel the same way you do - I have no friends who live near by who I can just hang out with or see on a regular basis. I use face book, but it feels like such a cheap substitute for actual human interaction.

I don't know what I'd do without this forum either. It's nice to have a judgment free place we can all come and support each other. Hugs.

I'm so sorry to hear about this from you

I'm a transfer student at a college. I too have no friends nearby. I graduate soon, but don't want to attend the ceremony for two reasons. I've been feeling really bummed about life. I Phrase lately has been its too late. I'm hoping to start trying and stop thinking I will fail.

I have friends, but true friends? Those are very hard to find. I feel I have many acquaintances. Who also know me as my everyday self to the world. You know, the one with the mask that we all remove here

I feel like this too.

I put a post on 'general chat' ages ago about setting up a Skype group and guess what. I got no response.

It's hard to get a group of people who don't know anything about each other to talk over the internet using their own voice. When I first started college I use to play World Of Warcraft a lot. I ended up being a guild leader, and got us a vent server. This is when I found out people don't like using there own voices to communicate on the internet, but the few that did join in have become really good friends of mine, and I've known them for about 7 years now.
