All my friends have drifted away from me and don't have time for me anymore. I always considered myself a good friend, funny and loyal, so I don't know where I went wrong. It's so upsetting and I feel so isolated.
I've tried joining clubs to meet new people but I can't stick with them. I'm not sure why I'm posting this, I guess I could just use support

I feel for you. I have friends who have been friends all of my life, but we "see" each other only on Facebook. It's been over a year since I saw one of my friends IRL. I don't even know how to make new friends and I am so, so lonely.

I've been a loner for as long as I can remember.
When I was younger I was around a lot of people that were sort of friends... and a whole bunch of dangerous folks. But... both good guys and bad guys are peripheral now. I tried for so many years to fit my square peg of a head into a triangle, but it makes me feel even more alone than when I'm alone. It is lonely... very lonely. It's not exactly self-imposed but in relationships it's like I always have to be someone other than who I am.

I feel for you too
 Being loyal and funny are both wonderful attributes. You deserve loyal and good friends. May it be so

Hugs.
I don't have any friends, either, and never really have unless you count people who use me. |

If you want I can be your friend. Remember its much better to be with a few true friends than be surrounded by fair weather ones.

I know exactly how you feel. I probably can't see you and hang out to become a "real" friend but if you ever want to talk ,and this is an open invitation, just PM me anytime .

Gosh I do too. I've never quite trusted people so I've tended to surround myself with aquaintances. As a result I've never really had friendships and the people in my life come an go. I can be surrounded by a great deal of people yet still feel lonely. The closest thing I have to a best friend lives halfway across the world.
I really think the fact that you have made the effort of joining groups is grand. I'm sorry to hear though you drifted away. Was there any particular reason? My mental health team has aactually been good in this respect as they've told me about groups in the city for people with similar mental illnesses. My therapist has been really good about offering me ideas too - mostly volunteer opportunities where I have met and formed some new aquaintances. |

I recently lost a couple good friends. Not necessarily because they are bad people, but because we are at different points in our lives and often move on because we can inadvertently hold each other back from growth (or that's what the popular thought is). What I know is that people come and go and aren't all that special. Even close friends come and go. The more you get familiar with the idea that all is temporary, the less lonely you will feel. I'm sorry.

In today's society it's very hard to make and keep good friends in your life. With facebook and internet chewing up most of peoples free time these days it's hard. I've had only a few genuine friends over the years but mostly I find that people just use and abuse to get what they can and move on. Jealousy plays a factor too, for ex: If you have a better job or nicer car it will cause people to back away. People are funny but hang in there
Lots of nice people on here too!
