I Need a Friend... Oh, Wait...

[FourEyedPandora]

Have you ever had a day where you just needed someone to talk to and you realize either:
a] You have no real friends.
b] You are fighting with your friends, and there's no one else to talk to.

I realized today that I have no real friends, at all. I mean, I'm close to my family, but I don't like talking to them about anything. I'm not really dating anyone either, so that's out of the question.

What about you?

I'm in that awkward time directly after high school, where the group gets separated by college, army, moving away, growing apart and whatnot... So I've really only got 2 or 3 friends left. I did, however, recently move to college, so I'm starting to make friends around the dorms and campus and stuff but as far as close friends, I'm really limited as well.

I'm glad to be out of high school, but I can't say that there aren't some things I miss.

I have three people that I know I can tell anything to. Two of which I still don't tell things because I am secretly (well...) afraid of what they will think of me...

Daily, I feel the way you do.

the day you find yourself traversing /b/ for amusement and 3:00 am is the day you'll realize this.

...so those two are female then?

I have mates. But none I can connect with on an emotional level. And my family I can barley talk to at all. Yeah I know the feeling.

Don't you just love it when someone writes your posts for you?

That said I've got a couple of friends.... at the other side of the world, so talking to them is out of the question.

I can get close to it by mentioning I've lately been going on Runescape from about 8pm or 9pm until 12am or 1am. I've died inside. The only good excuse I have is it's something me and a girl I know play together. Which by play together, I mean she'll carry on playing if I go to bed so I can't go to bed. So much for getting eight hours sleep lately...

I have friends, it's just that none of them live close to me, and I don't have a license yet. Which is a bit of a bummer, but you get used to it I suppose. The internet helps to I guess.

 

[Monkfish Acc.]

I only really blog to the masses at large and talk to the girl I like.
I kind of have no friends in that the only ones that are not FOURTEEN live in different countries.
I am pathetic like that.

 

[chozo_hybrid]

You're not completely alone there, while I may have "friends" even ones I flat with, I barely ever see them.

EDIT: You realize you made two threads?

Yeah, that end of school breakup sucks. Had a divorce when my exwife was the only family or close friend I really had at the time, sad times...lot of alcoholism and drug abuse. So, yeah, I know the feeling. It's those types of moments that make life and love even more precious, knowing that they can end so never take them for granted. BTW, I'm no longer like that. The woman who is now my wife and mother of my child pulled me from the brink. Otherwise, I'd be dead, in jail, in prison, or braindead in a hospital somewhere. So, yeah...never take life, love, or friendship for granted.

No, actually. My friend, Heather (coincidentally the love-of-my-life and the one-who-got-away) is the only person who I feel comfortable enough to talk to.

My roommate, Matt, and my best friend, Devan are the other two. I feel like I don't know Matt well enough, despite knowing everything about him, to tell him everything. And Devan is always there for me, but I'm just afraid that she will think of me differently with certain things, despite being my closest friend for the longest time.

I know this may sound like a psychologist or whatever but have you considered writing down how you feel? I know it may seem like your "talking to yourself" but sometimes it can really help. Kind of lets you release and then you can read back through it at a later date to see how well you've progressed. Plus, you could also translate it into a story which could be the next bestseller, you never know.

ah, okay. Not so far off then.. I had similar situations in high school... I've only ever had one person I could tell EVERYTHING to... but I've had at other times, 2 or 3 different friends, between which, I could tell everything... So certain things I could share with one, other things with another... and usually that was separated by gender, hence my assumption that yours were girls.

But the one I could share everything with was a girl, who was coincidentally the girlfriend of the only other person I could consider a best friend.. Which was a weird situation, to say the least.

I have, actually, attempted this, but then stopped because I started to sink into self-loathing/pity (whichever you please). I really should start up again because I promised Devan that I would let her read it when I was done...

 

[PwnSt0nes]

all of my friends have become stoners. not that i have a problem with it but, thats all they are now. they dont really talk much.... just..sit there and smoke.....

not really close to my family either.

so when i need someone to talk to....well....im not sure actually. I guess i just get distracted by something until i feel better?

and when i say "all my friends" i mean all two of them. the other shot himself in the head. damn life sucks... :/

I hope things work out for you.

I often don't have someone to talk to. And even if I did, I'm a dude.

Testosterone won't allow everything to slip past. It just won't.

Times like these, life sucks big dick. Oh well.
