I have only made two friends in five years

I'm in my final year at school and due to non-stop bulling I never really made any friends, at the start of the academic year I made two new friends, both younger and female. I want to know if its normal in five years to only make two friends.

    It's painful not to make friends, and I feel your pain. High school was a relatively friendless time for me--I only had one real friend.

    It's pretty harsh, but it happens to people occasionally. I don't know enough to know if it's normal. Do you have problems meeting people and dealing with people? You may have a social disorder.

    However, I wouldn't know because I'm not a therapist or anything. However, plenty of people live without friends. Even the people that you think are really popular may not have any real friends.

    • I think if you post on an online forum, you were not exactly the social elite. If you claim that your life is without problems and that you do this or that out on your own decisions rather than to be "cool", your probably a liar and truly sad on the insides.

      Trust me, if you are one of the popular people, odds are you are too busy in a party or with friends than write here on this site.

  • Its ok if those friends are true friends because if you keep making new friends those new friends might not be as nice as the other ones.

    Time to exercise and get a bit bigger stand up for yourself. If you don't who will. Be strong try to be more social. High school can be a rough time. I was picked on too. Until I stood up for myself. Remember one good kick or knee to the nuts will stop anyone lol

    I cant say I was ever bullied,well maybe by one guy that hit like a girl,and I felt to bad for him to kick his butt.I'm 41 and still dont have any real friends(but then I'm an asshole.)You seem like you might be a shy,timid guy that dont really go out of your way to make any friends and if thats the case then yes that's normal, and as for your two female friends,you should make one of them your wife.

    Definately normal. I used to get bullied about my height. I can count on my fingers the amount of people I would count as friends, and maybe half of them I would trust fully. It's probably something to do with the fact that you got bullied, you begin to distrust people.

    If your getting bullied id say step up and teach him a lesson. Most likely he annoys the crap out of everyone else and has about as many friends as you. You will become popular in a day because they will be so glad you finally made him shut his mouth. It works, hope it works for you.

  • There is nothing wrong with my fiance but as she was extremely heavy and extremely shy, I am her first and only friend. We are getting married shortly and we both have been happy for over two years so it is somewhat normal.

    However, you could be like the girl who I have referred to as a skank on my stories. She both smokes marijuana and regular cigarettes, drinks heavily and bashes others who don't. If she is considered normal, is it so wrong to be outside of normal? Although my friend count is limited and my fiance doesn't have any other close friends, we have a great life and are happy with who we are and our futures.

    Take the good with the bad and study harder. Just remember, one day you will be hiring and firing those jock morons and the druggies from your job as you are growing to be better and they are not. The only reason I am behind is because I accepted a crappy job and stopped trying for ten years.

    Just improve on yourself first. Also remember that 95% of those assholes at your school you will never see again after school ends.
