no friends to meet with

is it really that bad, that people hate shy people

Haha no that's a bit strong, I guess some people (maybe the majority not sure) are not initially drawn to shy people because we are too much work, but that's not the case with everyone.
Yea it's really hard to make friends the older you get!

I have some barely dangling people left who i meet less than once a year

If I met someone new in the same situation of all of us,

I'd introduce them to some old friends, to reinforce our friendship and companionship

Each day ticks by so sadly, adding so little to life. I wanna do something about it

Another is by finding people who are like you on the internet, with websites such as okcupid.

Do people actually use that site to make friends? I thought it was a dating site.:thinking:

I'm in this same situation. I literally have no friends right now. I'm in a rec basketball league but the guys on my team just see me as shy (Yes, I've heard them say that) and we don't really connect on a friendship level.

I like playing ball but it's always uncomfortable for me before, during and after the games.

I'm going to get my own apartment soon so I'll probably be forced to make friends because I know I'll probably get lonely. If anyone wants to talk with me about this, maybe we can go through this together or maybe you advice on making friends.

I agree when I was a little Kid I had friends and GF like crazy. I thought I would never be lonely when I was growing up but as I got older the harder it become to make friends. I don`t thank I even understand how old people with friends hang out and have fun all I see is them getting together for coffee and stuff which seem really boring to me. Talking has never been a fun subject for me I try like crazy to make a fun subject so I can make things work out in the end. but I probably going to die alone anyways.

For me making friends is never an easy task. Noone would become friend of me because i was shy and maybe boring. I rarely talk and spend most my time alone. I think you guys know what it feels like when being insolated. But what can we do about it?

You can use it to get to know people with common interests. Whether you try to turn that into a friendship or another type of relationship is up to you. 🙂

I don't have friends either. I had some, but lost them some months ago. I consider myself interesting, as I am telling nice jokes and people seem to enjoy them and laugh hard. But I just can't handle people properly, so I am off the battle to find new friends. It's better to be without friends, no anxiety and awkwardness. When I had friends some time ago, I was in social anxiety situation when I was with them, and the time I wasn't with them, there was so much anxiety (Did I said something I shouldn't, why I said this, that and so on) and this was ruining my life. Now I am calm and relaxed.
