For writers, a small sci-fi/fantasy/horror group. It's useful just to analyze sometimes and encourage others.

That's understandable DeadAir. Bad company definitely isn't worth keeping. I gave up a lot of friendships because of their penchant for gossiping and lying. It seemed that nobody could grasp the concept of loyally, or just didn't have the character to commit to it. So I can relate to some of that. I hope you do find a good group of friends though! Don't make the same mistake I made a replaced something with nothing, especially over a long period of time. This could be the perfect opportunity to branch out in a new direction which will bring a different type of person into your life, who knows. But there are so many things out there. Whatever you decide to do, best of luck with it and good riddance to the chaff; they don't deserve your friendship!
It's useless holding on to something that has already turned useless. It's a hard decision, but It's time to let go. In time, I'll see if I will have more meaningful relationships, coz I can't relate to normal, average ppl anyways, that's why I go to this site. It's time to find for myself more inspirations. Thanks Requiescat. (I know God will open a window for me.)

My friends are the beaches, the headlands, the clouds. Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoos, wildflowers, Oystercatchers, butterflies, and trees. The wind, the kind old sun. I spend hours in their company, it is the best company I know, miles away from the petty troubles of people.

I like your perspective Kiwong! It is a good reminder to us of just how much we have around us even though we may we have nothing. Always be thankful and instead of lamenting what you don't have, learn to perceive and appreciate what you do. And on that note, my sister and I are going to a lavender field tomorrow! Will be awesome
I'm taking 'friend' to mean someone you're comfortable enough to initiate conversations with and hang out with. Going off that - I have one friend right now. One of my awesome college professors.
Other than that, I really haven't been comfortable with anyone since ninth/tenth grade. I had this friend who made me feel bad about myself, so I grew apart from her because I couldn't feed off the negative energy anymore. The loneliness got so bad though, that I was going to put up with it again and reconnect.

I don't have friends right now. I can't find people whom i can connect with emotionally and intellectually. most of the people just dont care about you

I guess society has "forced" me into friendless isolation. Whenever i have thoughts about wanting to have friends/etc, my inner voice says 'NO, it can NEVER happen'. Can't see how i'll ever get past all the damage & bad experiences i've had with people...

I'm sorry to hear that LoneWolf. With times being what they are a lot of people are under intense pressure and that generally doesn't bring out the best in them. I know it's litlle consolation, but it sometimes helps if you understand the context; helps one feel less personally offended. I can relate to being in a new country however, having lived in three so far. It does get better. I thought Ireland was a hell hole, but there were some good people there too. Hang in there

currently friendless. lot of acquaintances and people i do certain activities with like pick up basketball mainly but nobody i hang out with. Once in awhile i will have girls who say they want to be my friends but then i let them know that im not interested in sleeping with them and then they don't want to be my friend.

I'm too useful to be friendless.
