| I used to have friends. Now, I'm a loner, and I feel much better this way. My friends got busy with life, and so I. |
 |
| Oh dear thanks everyone to responding, may it be negative or positive. Anyway, I may of lost control of my wording. Once again I will repeat the fact I was actually always popular but never got too attached to anyone, I never met up with anyone outside of school nor did anyone ever bother to contact me unless it was for house parties in which I didn't want to attend as I saw house parties as an inconvenience because I remember after one the next day an incident happened where 8 people I knew had received chlamydia in my year, it seems a couple of guys caught it and went with a few of the girls afterwards. So na didn't really want to watch people getting wasted and having sex. I actually studied Drama during school and got a B despite all the falling out between those in my group. I'm pretty sure I'm not depressed too, I enjoy spending time with my family too much to be depressed. |
| No it's not. You don't need friends. If you love yourself, that is enough. |
| Yes. You don't necessarly need to develop a special bond with people, just have a couple of friends here and there, it could help you a lot. You don't want to spend the rest of your life without friends, do you ? The mere fact that you're posting about it on MAL means it bothers you a little bit. On a side note, i find it hilarious that people who don't have friends irl tend to be "sociable" on the internet. And the ones who say you don't need friends just say it to make themselves feel better. |
| Heh, you're not the only one who doesn't have friends. I lived in a military family, and that means after every 3 years or so, I had to relocate to another country or city. I had to do this four times before my dad retired. The friends I made in the four locations that I've been to? All gone and forgotten. In college, I was a shy guy, but at least I was friendly enough to make a small group of "friends". You know what sucked? After graduation, I never heard from them again, ever. Today, I only have one friend who I still keep in contact with (and we don't even talk that much). This is an online friend too, so at the moment I have no real-life friends in my vicinity. I remember a quote from Mutatsu in Persona 3 where he mentions something about friends. It goes like this: "Don't worry if ya don't have any friends. Most of life's troubles have to do with others… Let's define a "friend" as… someone you hold dear. True friendship is seen through the heart, kid, not the eyes… People always want somethin' in a relationship. They only really love themselves. You don't call someone who doesn't like you your friend, do ya? No, you don't… cuz you know you won't get nothin' from him, right? Which means, in this world, there's no one you can hold dear. At the end of the lonely road of love, kid, you're the only one left standin' there." After all the crap that I had to deal with in college and all the relocating I had to do, I honestly didn't care about making friends anymore. What mattered to me was getting my life straightened out (Get a job, be stable, etc.). My problems come first. Friends can wait. |
 |
| Honestly, i don't know what's wrong with you people that you actually think not having friends is healthy or 'ok'. While i'm not saying there's anything wrong with you op, friends ARE worth having and worth going after, because when the shit hits the fan it's not MAL that's gonna have your back, it's them. |
| It's different for everyone. For me, I need to have friends around. I'm used to having a social life both online and in real life. It's strange if I'm not talking or communicating with someone on a daily basis. It's alright if you feel a bit more of a drifter. At some point, you realize you would rather have closer friends, or a more drifting relationship with friends. It kind of depends on what suits you. |
 |
| I don't have friends because people are flaky and shady. I'd rather be friendless. |
| if its making you suffer all the time then yes, but some people are just way introverted they are fine being alone most of the time |
| I didn't have friends for two years until I came out of my shell. All I did was watch anime and play video games by myself. After all that, I can safely say that..... .....no, it's not bad, but it fucking sucks. What you really need to do is find like-minded people who share in your same interests and hobbies and actually do stuff with them. It's not as hard as you might think, but from my experience, being friendless and always being alone actually gave me two years of my life that I regret. |
| Just need to find out how to quote this every time so I can dodge the stupid 30-character limit. |
| It's not always about sharing similar interests/hobbies. I'm the complete opposite of my friends. They were the "bad" ones in school who engaged in not so good activities. They had no interest at all for anime/manga, only "money and bishes". Even though they were labeled as "thugs" they genuinely cared about my well being and would look out for me. Not all friends are the way you described (backbiting one another). No offense to anyone, but from what I noticed in school, this kind of behavior is found mostly among the girls. Girls seem to be really mean to other girls despite being friends and talk behind their back. Guys can be jerks to other guys but we eventually squash whatever beef we have with each other and go back to being bros. Just continue being yourself and I'm sure you'll make some great friends. You just had a little bad luck and encountered the wrong type of people. |
| If you're content then that's all that matters. However, I do hope you make some good friends down the road. :] |
| If that is what you are content with then I can't say it's bad. Ask your self this though, are you comfortable being alone? That's the important thing. There are some people out there that are satisfied with the solitude of not having any friends so idk. Think about not having any friends for the rest of your life though. I'm thinking about it right now. Seems miserable to me. What vexper said was pretty spot on btw your expectations seem pretty high. My friends will fight and bitch about each other from time to time but at the end of the day they still have each others backs. They all have their flaws and i have mine. We will fight and bitch once in a while but we still love each other. |

| Even if you don't agree 100% with someone on everything you can still get a long with them and be friends. |

Doesn't change the fact that niggas talk shit about each other and still get along perfectly, nigga. We get it your black. Stop shoving the n word down our throats any chance you can get to prove your "blackness". |
| I had a group of friends like 2 years ago, but we are not together anymore for some problems. I havent been able to make other friends since then. I just talk and joke with people sometimes, but i never feel the trust and all those feelings that friends give. Also, i never talk to them outside school. It is hard to feel alone although you are surrounded by people. Sometimes i think i will never feel like i have a friend anymore. |
| If your ovaries are itching, then I can be your friend. |
 |
| No, my only friend is my very own penis he'll never leave me, unbreakable bond. When I'm satisfied he's satisfied, that's true friendship. |
 |
| Well it doesnt really matter so dont change to have friends be yourself. Besides most popular kids that are dicks are stupid and get no where. |

Coming from a person who's been burned too many times by 'friends' and family alike, I would rather have a wall than a broken heart. |

shintai88 said: No. You don't need a lot of friends. Just a lot of connections to get you to the top in life. THIS. Shrewdness is mistaken to be friendship most of the time, but imo, one can have only 2-3 friends who are worth cherishing |

| People hang out w/ each other because being a loner is socially looked down on |

| It's better to have a few friends you're very close with, rather than sticking with large groups all the time. You get to know people a lot better when there's less of you. Compare a group of 3 friends to, say, 10. You'll get to know each other as the 3 of you much easier than as 10 because you spend a lot more time with each other, rather than someone different. It's how I've always made friends. Remember, more isn't necessarily better. There's a difference between a close friend and a mere acquaintance. |
