Does anyone else here genuinely have no friends?

@greendayfangirl

Hi Fan Girl, are you doing okay? If you need someone to talk to, you can reach out.

Sorry to hear about your situation. Sounds tough, but acknowledging it is the first step in getting to a better place. Hopefully it's upward and forward from here for you.

Don't lose hope, nothing able to make genuine and good friends is something most feels like this way and it do sucks. But it also means we haven't found the right kind of friend we need and who knows someone also might be searching/trying to find a friend just the way we are looking for them. There are few people here that I have come across has a rare heart of gold who I wish to make them my life long friends but everyone is going through some kind of battles each day and it's not easy to communicate with them always, but the good thing is that they always will be there once we let them know that how much we wish for their friendship.

I hope you will make amazing and memorable friendships 😊

Have you tried 'slowly' app? You can find friends there from all around the world with similar hobbies, I used to be there when I felt like i didn't have friends. I had a long time where I didn't have any real friends even though I was surrounded by people. Some were lying to me, some didn't try to include in. But I had no option but to follow them. Being not comfortable around people who you hangout with everyday because you have no other choice is another problem too. So, actually just go for your hobbies. Whatever hobby or something you like about, go to those communities in ***, *** youtube fan page, you'll definitely find the ones you have been looking for, or you'll just have something interesting to look for at least. Lastly, it's okay to have no friends, you haven't met with your vibe people yet. They will come to you when you least expect.

Well, if you wanna be I'm looking for friends too. Just a message away!

Hello @greendayfangirl.

My name is Zan, im 31 years old and i can safely say i dont go out and party with friends.

Im sorry to hear that you have been feeling this way, i want you to know that if you ever need im free to have a talk and opened to making new friends. 🙂

@greendayfangirl I can really relate to how you feeling about all this girl…just stay strong I promise you’ll be fine I’ve once been there if you need some experience about how I get trough mine you can text me I got you ✌️🍀

@greendayfangirl Aww. Don't feel too bad about it. I think struggling to make and keep friends is normal, at least in adulthood.

I can only speak from my own experience (I am 26, in case it matters), and maybe my observations of others. As someone who only really has online friends, and also spent a lot of time alone growing up, I only have two friends I truly trusted throughout much of my life so far. It wasn't something that happened overnight, you know? It took months and even years to fully realize they were actually my friends and not just someone passing through my life.

These people who party might have friends, but they might not consider them "real" friends if they are claiming to be friendless. Perhaps they think they only have acquaintances.

Anyway, I don't know if anything I've said resonates with you at all, but I hope it at least makes you feel a little less alone. Just know you can still make great friends even now from where you are.

23 and 24 in few months same situation I went to deep into online friends while covid and after covid it's almost to the stage thag I am starting to believe you have to go to certain phase of life alone and this is that? Honestly I would love to at the very least exchanges messages every now and then it's feels good to have someone by you side. Also my advice on online friendship is not get too attached coz imo and in my experience voice/video calling is rare in online friends and even when there is you might yearn more and want to meet in person . Unless you can control yourself I guess. Yeah that's my take. Hope you are doing alright. And yeah you shouldn't say and/or believe you are a failure once you succeed past failures wouldn't matter. Take care.

@greendayfangirl I think most people don't mean what they say just to relate to you or just to be polite. It's like when some people say "let's hangout sometime!" but really, no one wants to actually plan a hangout. I think if people said "I have friends" when you don't, that would make the vibe turn awkward and probably make you feel even more alone. It's a weird and rude "unspoken" culture that people collectively agreed to be socially acceptable.
