...when i don't have any friends? I am 28 years old and i have never had any friends. I lie to my parents about having many friends. But i do have associates. So when i go home to my parents i just make up stories of what i and my "friends" did. Its not that i don't make friends, no one wants to be friends with me, even though i am really kind and i try to put effort into it. in my work place i may be the kindest and some have told me that too, but still no one wants to be my friend. I find in humiliating to not have friends when my siblings have many, so i just cook a story each time.

    Well, why no friends? You are sure to have friends in your life whether you know it or not.

    There are times when we feel like everyone hates us or we are lonely but I'm sure that you can still find friendship. Just try not to overthink it.

    When a person talks to you, be nice. Be aware of what you are saying and try to let them know that you appreciate their company. And if they appreciate yours, BOOM, you are friends.

    Then the friendship gets bigger, but sometimes slowly. It depends on how open or willing to let people into your life you are. You don't have to be an extrovert to have cool friends but be honest and nice and willing to hear what they have to say. Also of course there is your own personality that will open up and that will blossom along the way.

    I hope that this helps a little.
