Is it normal to not have any friends?

80% Normal
4 Comments

I totally have acquaintances and people I hang out with, but friends... people I actually trust, zero. I stopped keeping my friendsthat close a long time ago. Most of my friends from highschool abandoned me when I got strung out. And the rest used me. I've come to realize that most people will take advantage of you if given half a chance, and if it suits their needs. I'm also a Capricorn and hold grudges like my life depends on it. I usually write people off if they do something Über fucked up and never forgive them unless they ask for it. I decided when I got clean years ago that I wasn't gonna let people walk all over me anymore, assert my worth, and burn bridges where necessary.

    Having been in your position (& still in a very similar position) I'm going to say normal, or at least understandable.

    You should try & open up a little though as it's a lonely existence.
    Just like people who give up on love after being hurt, it's not healthy, you need to get back out there

    It's normal to not want to be taken advantage of. Honestly, i'm that way; extremely picky with friends and hold giant grudges for giant wrongs done to me. The goal to finding actual friends is to give a little lee-way(?) and see if they pass. Go try new places on the web/hangouts and meeting new peeps. If they seem cool, great! If it starts to feel like they're taking advantage of you, don't feel guilty for not pursuing the friendship.

    Also, just like to add that all my highschool friends abandoned me too after graduation, and i'm actually in a very similar situation atm. This looks like something I would type up!

    You wonder why you have no friends? Did you read what you wrote?
    You know,people are flawed creatures; we all have our faults. With an attitude like yours, you leave little possibility of anyone getting through the walls you've built, and seem to give no one the incentive to do so. Lighten up a bit and perhaps, if you really want a friend or two, you might find them.

    I have no close friends and I think it is to some extent normal. What does anything have to do with when you were born and the positioning of our planet in relation to other stars?
