No-one has any time for me..

Hello,

I do have some friends but they never have time for me, they work, take courses, are tidying their room, are tired, hung-over, are avoiding going to shops because they're saving money etc...

Even my family don't have time for me.

I have told them how I feel, many times and in different ways. They reassure me that they do care about me but it's just difficult for them. I have told them that it would be nice to just meet up, to go for a coffee, have a little chat, see a film, do stuff together, etc, etc....

but they still neeever have time for me.

I am so so lonely.

No idea how to make new friends since I've taking courses, gone museums and places, met up with a lot of people from the Internet.

No one wants me, no one has time for me or wants to make time for me.

    Well I don't think this is much in the way of self pity, more like discouragement. That is if you actually want to DO specific things with specific friends and family, and they don't?

    They brush you off? Every time. And you ask often. Who wouldn't take that personally after a while? You need new friends so keep looking.

    But, if you have only experienced this a few times, then you are over-generalizing.

    maybe you should try volunteering, helping other people will make you feel better and you will meet a lot of people that also could use a friend. :)

    Hmmm...well I have the same problem but the best advice I can give you is
    just dont care what anyone says.Act like theyre your best friends(but dont suck up).Trust me.You'll feel better.And make some new friends...and never be depressive around them until youve known them for a while.

    good luck

    There are some stupid suggestions here unfortunately.

    You need to join groups, whether it is sports, dancing, art, whatever, as long as you are around people who are there for a purpose you will be able to hand around with them and form friendships. Trust me. Just trying to get people to hang around with you for no reason doesn't work. Obviously. Get out and connect.

    Yes, this is becoming common in our modern society. Part of it is the suburban lifestyle, even in large cities. It was once called the "Swingset syndorme" because people began keeping to themselves due to lack of time and did not even take their children to the parks, but bought their own swings to save trips. These children and adults began to lose social skills such as how to converse casually. There have been many articles on this and you are one who has now witnessed it.

    2 words: new friends
    easier said than done i know
    but once you have new friends
    the old ones will get jelous
    then they will be bugging you to hang out
    and you can either tell them to go fuck
    or have double the amount of friends
    simples

    I wouldn't worry too much, people more than likely are just really busy, but you might want to address the situation to them in a nonthreatening manner. The internet is a great way to meet new people.

    you should really try getting a life
    stop trying to bug everyone for attention
    my sister always bugs me to the point where i don't answer any of her calls
    it gets annoying
    people will come to you when they want to hang out
    don't force yourself on to them...GOSH

    Sorry but I wouldn't want to hang out with someone, who feels that much self-pity either. Grow some nads.
