As I am in the army atm, and most of my friends are moving away, I wish it were like old times... but hey, that's life, right?

Going to uni next year, and probably get some new friends... I don't bond easily, but I have grown really fond of some of my old friends... :S

"Really not where I want to be at all" as I'm becoming a recluse, which really doesn't fit my sort of personality.

Yes, I wouldn't call it perfect, but it's better than "pretty good". I'm friends with pretty much everyone in my town, I get out twice a day with my friends, most importantly my closest friends can be called faithful friends. So yes, I'm content.

I have no real social life to speak of.

I wish I had friends, but even if I did, I have a very hard time at being outgoing toward other people (that aren't family members).

I never even contact the online friends I have on the Escapist, because......I really don't know.

I hate people. But I can't help feeling like crap about having no real friends because humans are social by nature. It sucks.

I chose second to last.
I have issues.

*sigh* I realised recently that I have more friends on here that I've never met compared to those I'm supposed to like in real life...which sucks.

Ergo, life sucks.

All my mates want to do is hang around Games bloody Workshop every week/avaliable opportunity.

Its pretty damn boring at the moment.
Games Workshop...haven't heard that name for years, and yes it is rather boring from what I remember of it.

OT: I'd say its decent but could be better. I see quite a few of my friends at work and occasionally go out for a swift pint or two.

i love my social life.
i have a best friend that has my back, many other close friends, i am part of a group that in itself is not unpopular, i know many people somewhere around my home town that i have regular contact to that have helped me out, heck, if i had not met some of these people, i might not be in a band as a singer right now.
oh, yeah, and i have managed to get really close with the girl that i have a crush on. not that it is something THAT unusual, but hey, it's at least better than never being around her or being hated by her

It's pretty great, since joining a theater group my social circle has expanded quite a bit.

I also have a few close friends that I've been friends with since high school, I don't see anybody joining that group though.

My social life is terrible... I only ever hang out with my friends every other weekend... I have a very hard time talking to anyone I don't already know... no idea why, but when trying to socialize with others, my mind goes blank...

Recovering from social anxiety is a biggest pain in the ass imaginable. My social life is non-existent. So yeah, not happy.

Not really. Half of my friends joined the military after high school, and the other half moved, or got involved in drugs and such and I haven't heard from them since.

Most of the people I actually like aren't local enough to hang out with, so it's pretty boring, but that will most likely change once I enroll in college or find a job.

I don't like people, but I'm fond of individuals. I keep very few individuals close, avoid the rest, and am too used to it to have any desire to change it.

OP, how are you in-between friends? I've had the same best friend literally my whole life, and don't understand what you mean.
It's pretty simple really.
I've grown up in a school system where It's basically the same 20 people all the way through preschool, kindergarten, elementary, middle, and high school (well about 10 new people joined up in high school) Within this group I had made a group of friends (all guys) because we had similar interests and they were fun to hang out with. Unfortunately, the more we hung out the more they treated me like shit and the more I realized how immature they were. I basically separated myself from them and also switched schools. It's been about a week and a half in the new school and I am totally out of my element, there are about 60 people in my class which is big for me and I can't tell if anyone is at all interested in what I am. So I am slowly warming up to people and right now i lack a close group of friends (i still have individual friends, that arent as close but i still hang out with them). It is a new feeling and it makes me feel lonely and I tend to be a bit shy at times (though, not once I get to know people, or when i don't know them at all.) but I am really judgmental of myself and THAT is what I'm talking about.

Being a teenager sucks. Going through puberty sucks. Nuff said.

Apologies, but it does kind of seem like you have 5 options for "terrible".
Anyway, yeah mine is good. Not perfect by a looooooong shot but I'm definately happy with it. That being said, I wouldn't say no to a better one or "The Confidence Fairy" as something I noticed would improve my life.
Lol yeah I noticed that but honestly the "terrible" is what needs more elaborating. If your happy your happy, but disappointment or sadness is often much more complicated. I just tried to make as many options as possible.

P.S: aah two posts in a row, sorry

I have some pretty awesome friends, and I play online (mostly L4D) with my girlfriend and her family, usually her grandpa playing Bill. I'd say it's a great social life.
