Just how BAD is your Social Life?

It's not all that bad around people in general, other than the fact that I'm a quiet person, don't speak until spoken to. Around girls it's horrible since I constantly worry about not making a fool out of myself, can hardly look at them and talk and mostly just walk away to escape a possible scene of embarrassment^^.

Depends on my needs.
If I wanna hide from my parents, a social life magically appears.
Take my name. Norman Bates. It suggests a Jekyll and Hyde character.

hmm....I have my family, who I see fairly regularly....I'm "normal" with my family!....but other than that, I do have one friend who I see about once every couple of months and we always go to the cinema and catch up! Then there are a group of christian guys I see once a week for this bible study group, and they're all great people....if I ever decide to go back to church, there'd be people there I'd see.....and then there's work...I always meet a few people wherever I'm currently working.

So all in all it's probably actually not that bad for me really! But then again, I still spend most evenings at home, alone.

Other than being at work and occasionaly going to the cinema with a workmate, i have no social life. I wish i was a cat then i wouldn't need to be social.
 
I have one good friend who I hang out with everyday and a gay guy friend who we hang out with a couple times a month.

almost none,except for calling my only friend once weekly who is about 500 miles away and going out hardly 3 or 4 times a week for half an hour just to stay alive and to pretend i'm searching for a job coz these days i'm really under pressure to get a job after 27 years.
Sometimes i wonder about my little social life while i've lived 7 years in other cities on my own(in university) and i've been 2 years in armory service(it's compulsory here for males).

I have absolutely no social life at all...none, i used to have a great social life, then my SA took over and i lost most of my friends and now it's just me!
That happened to me as well. Since 2001, when I was 24, my life changed dramatically. I have lived in social isolation for 7 or 8 years now. If you know a few people, or even one, please do everything you can to keep that friendship, or you will regret it later. After years of spending time alone you will become more and more depressed and everything will become much harder. I'm not trying to scare you, but it's true.

It's quiet. I have a couple of friends I talk to time to time and one friend that's been with me for years. But I never really go anywhere with them, maybe once a month if Iam lucky.

Actually at this time, what friends I do have are existing because someone is getting something for some reason. There is no genuine "I like you let's hang out" no I don't have any of those.
I get urges to be social and develop normal relationships but facing the facts, I'm an introvert, always have been, and my solace in the end will always be in solitude.
You can even look at that silly kids pic I posted. Look at my face. There's nothing showing on it. That's how I've gone thru life, even since then. That's how people know me.
