srsly. not a single one to wish u on ur birthday, not a single one to call/text , not a single one to even do something on the internet with for fuck's sake
This is a huge problem for people like me who are extremely introverted. Also anyone who says "Just force yourself to talk to people, it's easy!" has absolutely no idea what it's like to be introverted, it just isn't that simple.
The best thing to do is to join some kind of club or something, it puts you in a social situation where you can potentially meet people.
Force yourself to talk to people. Be kind to everyone and help others when you can. Maybe by doing all this people will be drawn to you.
Being the completely nice kid doesn't draw anyone anywhere. Speaking from experience.
Actually now that I look at it, you're right. I've met plenty of nice people in my life but people seem to avoid them.
Have to disagree.
The most favoured people are nice people with an edge.
You need to have an edge, whether it's an awesome talent or a great sense of humour, being able to fend off assholes or just not being a pushover.
You can be nice and a pushover (the type people avoid)
Or you can be nice and take care of yourself - when you need to. And that is the optimum person.
I find it hard to make friends.
You don't even have old friends from when you were in middle school or high school??
When I moved I met my friends at work...
I moved again not to long ago and I still haven't made any friends.
I use to make friends online, but that was when I was younger and on Myspace.
You could join a club or something. You would at least be meeting with people of similar interests.
Go to church, join a club, get a hobbie, go to the park or a carnival...
go do some activity that makes you socalise. build up your social skills. we are all human. and there is always someone out there for everyone.
I find it hard to make friends too, people tend to dislike my personality. Im the type whos not overly bothered by it though i prefer just having people i sort of know.
op here. Can't edit the post so
Eta: i have social anxiety disorder. So going out is sort of out of the question.
I've tried a good no of times in the past to mingle and to try build friendships that'd last. None of them lasted.
I'm a funny kid. I talk to some kids i'm comfortable with, make them laugh and stuff but when i ask if they'd hang with me they say that they have their own pals to hang out with.
Also, i'm sort of a quiet person so that seems to put people off and make fun of me in front and behind my back.
Just.. Putting that out there. I'm not just sitting here on my lazy ass asking for validation, i actually have tried for years.
I find it hard to make friends as well. I'm really shy near people I dont know what I usually do it that I make up the courage and go to someone I dont know introduce myself and start a conversation from there you just neeed to keep it going and if you can then there's is a potential friend if not you'll be the hi bye aquantences. Keep trying dont let your self down and keep moving forward the best friends sometimes may be the friends you meet only once and share a few laughs with that you never forget making friends will become easy as long as you stay positive and show them how amazing you are!
I have a hard time making friends offline, but online, it's so much easier.
I have some friends and almost all of them are constantly forgetting my birthday. My birthday is around a holiday and some of theirs are too, but I rarely forget theirs.
Sometimes, I don't talk to them for months or years. Then something happens to make us talk, but there's nothing interesting that I can contribute. It's so hard to relate to people. I use to make friends all the time when I was younger, but now I isolate myself from others. I don't hang out with my friends and I don't think I ever did to begin with really. I'm terrified of people and my family used to force me to go out and meet others, but almost each time I couldn't handle the situation....
no, not normal. i'm like you, don't have a friend in the world. i know that i have social issues, cant really relate to people... its hard being lone all the time.
you should try to make more of an effort to meet people- there are more lonely people in the world than we think- everyone's walking blindly in the dark just looking for a hand to hold.
if you have any hobbies or interests, thats a good place to start, join a club like pisslan616 said, or join a forum or something and go from there... at least this is what others have told me. i know it's not that easy.
good luck.
