Is it normal to feel like you have no friends?

I do not have any friends and I am not really capable of making some. It just gets really really awkward and I always end up hanging out with the wrong crowd. So I know how you feel and tell you what, it ain't going to get any better. It's mostly a style thing... they just don't feel you. They ignore you because you just haven't got what it takes to be one of them. Like: you go to them, they are all talking about whatever, mostly somebody who is not there, expressing their opinions about whoever, criticizing in definitely not a very constructive way, exchanging glances, working on their social standings and role games, so you look at them and feel mad or left out because you do not really have anything to say about whatever they might be talking about. Most of the times it is like they are not really talking about anything, if they just used faces without uttering a word it would be pretty much the same thing. It's a matter of "waves" really.. Even if you lay everything out in a single speech to let them know what you think is wrong about them and the things they do ans how they interact with each other and tell them why you think you always end up getting left out, there would still be no reason for them to change, since no matter what they see themselves as the winners and you will always be a loser to them since you can't be nor act like one of them, and get the whole enjoyment out of the whole thing. Some people just aren't compatible, it happened everytime to me as well. They were always talking about soccer and women and cars and jobs and the last one night stand and that very cool pair of shoes everyone wanted and the new haircut and the troubles he or she was having with his or her boyfriend or girlfriend and that particular event that made them all laugh and they went on and on about it the whole evening and the new videogame everyone was waiting for and the concert and the last beer tasted funny and how he or she did in bed, and blah blah, and I just stood there, bored half to tears, feeling like just yelling at everybody: shut the fuck up you idiots! What are you even talking about? who gives a shit about all this? is this the best you people can do? is this everything you are capable of talking about? Do we really have to talk about every little crap we do and be so bloody enthisiastic about repeating the same old crap everyday? Incredible things are happening in the world right now and we are wasting our time talking about this jerk dick and that bitch blowing skills. What next? we are going to play dungeons and douchebags? But instead, I just excused myself, went back home and wrote down stuff. This still happens to me today. I look at people hanging out, try overhearing what they are saying and just go: yeah, they still like talking about nothing.

Start off by joining a club of interest! You will meet people who are into the same things you are. I assure you that you will find friends this way! :)

I'm sorry. You mentioned you prefer to stay in your dorm room because you do not like people. Yet you feel that you are sociable; To be sociable would require the willingness to talk and engage in activities with other people. You feel you are genuine, yet you are not genuinely enjoying your social interactions and force yourself to like people. I do believe these contradict.

Chances are you are looking at things differently than most people do. That's alright. I don't know you, but you don't sound like a bad guy. It might be a good idea to expand your views a bit. Best of luck to you.

So you judge certain people to be unworthy of your time? you sound a little arrogant to me, maybe that's why nobody likes you.

well it sounds like there are people who like you and want to hang out with you but you sound like you are snobbing them off because you want to hang out with someone else. am i wrong?

When you integrate yourself into an already established circle of friendship, you are going to have to put up with several months of being the odd duck for a while. It's all about establishing a pecking order (which always exists among friends) and nobody wants to feel replaced or threatened by letting an outsider in. That they even include you at all says a lot about their intentions: that You are good enough to include in their circle (on a trial basis).

So far, you've been giving up before you even got started, and you've been proving that you are not worth it (when in fact, you really are worth it, you just didn't know how to show it).

Keep trying; they WILL love you eventually, you just have to be there (at least once a week on average). Good luck. :)

Force yourself to talk to people first. Try going after them, instead of waiting for them to come to you. There's bound to be people that will like you.

I feel the same way. Not that people don't like me just that I have no friends. I've moved four times in the past four years so even when I do make a few good friends it doesn't even matter.

I prefer being alone or with my boyfriend. It's exhausting talking to people. I'm not going to school right now so it's a little harder finding people to hang out with.

It's easier to make friends when you have a friend because they can introduce you to other people. Does he have other friends?

I met my friends from where I use to live at work.

Your girlfriend has lost interest in you. Honestly; I know because I fucked her lastnight.
