It's a pretty lonely feeling trying to get off the ground and fight Social anxiety without anyone besides your family to talk to. Every step I take, I feel like an alien in this world. The stress and worry is killing me. My next step is getting a job and not quitting after two weeks like my last job. I think I will be ok, with my meds and therapy since my last job, but I still feel all alone out there. Besides my therapist, I don't talk to anyone besides my family for more than 5 minutes. It sucks! Anyone else in my position?
I envy those of you who have friends
Most of us here are in your position. If we had a ton of friends, we probably wouldn't be reading this forum!
Yeah, but I don't even have "one" friend.

Again, that's similar to everyone else on this board. A lot of people here have no friends at all.
I am in the same boat as you... People dont talk to me and dont like the fact that i am fragile and lonely in this mean merciless world...
I envy those who get along nicely for real and also on this kinda websites, I feel left out always everywhere. I wish I had control over few things.
Luckily, I have two really good friends. I'm so grateful for them too. They help keep me sane!
Yeah, sucks.
I don't know what I would do if I did have a friend. I can't imagine that I could be very entertaining or fun haha
I need to find people that I actually have things in common with :roll:

Don't even you have internet friends? :?
I feel like if I had the capability to make friends, even just one friend, that I would be a lot happier.
I have a friend who lives abroad, and one o'r two at work....Thing is i still feel lonely and alienated.
I don't have trouble making friends.. but i realized that i need to be picky about who I am friends with. Good friends trust and believe in you.
I cut off a group I was friends with cuz we had some differences. But what I find fascinating is, everyone has a different personality. When a few of them come to together in a group, you live in a space of compromise. you end up doing things that all of them want to do which is a small subset. But in the end its a shared experience.

Having friends or people close to you is of utmost importance; happiness is simply not possible without it. No wonder I'm depressed and unhappy and hope to find relief by visiting a hooker. How idiotic is this? I have to contact old friends and people I know, that's all I need.
this fact that i have no friends at all probably hurts me the most, I dont know why anybody has to go through this sort of thing. Just sitting in my room all day doing the same routine while ppl out there are actually enjoying life. I love to make at least one good friend, that would take so much of this self hate away.
