Is it normal that i don't have many friends for this reason?

My whole life I never really had a solid group of friends to hang out with. I'm a pretty nice and respectful guy. As more and more I grow up and experience the people in this world, I start to lose hope for mankind. I feel like there isn't a person that can understand me. I talk to myself all the time because I feel like I'm the only person that can understand myself. I would consider myself intelligent and VERY thoughtful in the most non pretentious way lol. Sometimes i think about the most complex things. I just never really had a real interest in somebody like a friend because they're just too simple. For example I'm the only person i know that's favorite band is Pink Floyd (my father owns some vinyls) but yet avidly listens to lil wayne, big l, drake. I don't think you can put a label on me honestly. I just wish everybody was like that. Everybody nowadays you can just put a label on them, they put a label on themselves to mention also. I never really had any good friends or close friends. Everybody is the same. I'm the only person i know that could still party and do crazy shit but yet still have goals and a pathway for my life. I want to achieve great things. Nowadays people are like this. If they party and do crazy shit, chances are they're stupid lowlifes and probably wont get far with no real goals. And then you have the people with goals in their life and no what they want out of life but yet they're no fun. I think i'm both. i have yet to meet a "friend" that can do both. i have can fun and do crazy shit but yet still have my goals in life and respect people. I hope you understood lol. It's just hard to explain. Post your thoughts.

    I think the problem with the world is that everyone is convinced they're some enlightened unique spirit of above average intelligence. We can't all be above average. Except me, I actually am totally super smart and unique - like sometimes I think about super deep stuff like philosophy or time - I mean like what is time? Rite? lol

    Maybe people don't like you because you think they're too simple. Even the most stupid people on the planet still have interesting things to say. You might be surprised

    Sounds to me like you have one big flow of arrogance coming off you. Drop that and positive things will come easier your way i think

    lighten up. everyone has something good to share with others. if not, there's always a reason. it's easy to find all the bad qualities in people u meet. even yourself.

    Heres a label for you "pretentious asshole with no friends". In all seriousness the whole im unique and alone in this world attitude needs to be dropped. If you think like that you will never open up to people and make friends. Here's the sad truth, making true friends is about the hardest thing to do in life.

    That being said I can relate to some of what you said especially the whole part about meeting people that party all the time but don't know what to do with them selves/people with a future in mind are boring. On that note the people that party and seem to have no future are still young in my life and I can't label them as low lives with no future in mind because they still have plenty of time to move ahead in life.

    PS im a fuck up that parties when ever theres a chance.

      No no no. lol see that's exactly the message i was trying to avoid. I hate the whole im unique and alone in this world attitude in this world as well, i think its arrogant. But like i said it's just hard for me to explain. But yeaa i agree man. And now that i look at it, you're right, I can't really label them with no future because they are young. And also I live in a pretty small city with probably a population of 50 thousand. I guess as I grow older and experience more of this world I'll meet some interesting fun friends.

    It's funny because the awesome people who deserve friends never seem to have them. Though, it shows that you're living for yourself and don't care what other people think (or at least to my understanding of you so far), which is how most people should live. Yeah, it's a little selfish and I'm not saying that you shouldn't help others, 'cause hell, I help people all the time. I just don't want to go out of my way and act like someone I'm not just to have a friend who could possibly betray me. Don't lose yourself bro, you'll find an awesome group of friends one day.

      I do live for myself, but I also care what other people think. To some extent, I mean who doesn't? And yess that's exactly right. I don't want to go out of my way either or act like somebody I'm not just to have some friends. I'll stay true to myself. Appreciate it. :p

    Honestly, you sound like a complete narcissist to me. People seem dull to you because that is the way you WANT to see them. You're isolating yourself and you seem intelligent enough to realize that. If you want more friends, try giving people more credit. Then again, if you're happy with the friends you do have, why bother changing? You're completely normal for loving Pink Floyd btw :)

    You sound a little too into yourself. One of my best friends listens to pink Floyd( more like will die for it) partys every. Weekend drinks heavily sometimes and own the drake and lol Wayne cd. He also graduated with a 3.8 high school gpa and is set to graduate from his university this year with honors. So just because you see people act a certain way doesn't mean anything. Don't judge a book by it's cover. You sound like an average person just a little lost go out and find some friends. You will probably find a lot of people who have things in common with you.

    The thing about you, is you're being too judgmental of people. You're automatically assuming that people who party are lowlifes, people who have goals are boring, etc. If you label people like that, no wonder you don't have that many friends. I know its an instinct, but there is a such thing as overkill.

    You're not the only one whose a balance of both, there are hundreds of people out there. The thing to do is just be friendly and try to acquaint yourself with everyone you meet. Yes, you're going to meet people you don't get along with no matter what, even popular kids got haters. Keep your initial opinions to yourself and try to at least get to know the people around you, and they might surprise you! People come and go.

    Good luck.

    (to the op) At last! An inteligent post...
    You'll find your friends soon enough, but remember, it's better to have one good friend than twenty shit ones. I have few friends but I know I can count on the ones I have at any time of day or night.

    I think that we could be best friends! We sound like we have a lot in common already. I am like this also, like I just can't find anyone that I share the same interests with and that I can call a true friend.

    Pretty much everybody on earth sees themselves as a unique something thaat no-body else can understand. Truth is, everybody (well-nearly everybody) would like nothing more than to have a deep, meaningful and interesting conversation but society these days has trained us all into thinking that be vapid is the norm.
    Especially shows on teen-TV which is all "what should I wear" or "OMG I got his number" Personally I only think people act that way because everybody wants to fit in.
    But--if we break through that barrier then having an interesting conversation will actually become popular again...
    I don't know-I'm pprobably miles off.

    As for your music tastes? Its the same for everyone. I listen to Scott Mackenzie and Lady Gaga...that doesn't make me weird, or different and it doesn't make you weird either.

    So, you're not alone and totally normal :)

    I feel that I lived my life exactly the same as you and have no friends that are both intelligent and fun. However, I 'use' my different friends for different occasions. It took me many years to 'filter' out my real friends from fake, and now I only bother with the real ones coz I've no time to waste on the fake ones.

    My only label is as a mom, but the lads in the pub do know that I am supposed to be intelligent but they don't see much evidence of it when I'm belly-dancing under a broom across 2 bar stools ;o)

    I'm sure that as you get older, you will come across 'good' people who are worthy of being your friends even if they aren't the same as you. I have!
