I have no friends.

I felt that way too, when I was a newly married and pregnant, as well as after I had my daughter. I just kept punishing myself (a lot of this was due to post-postpartum, as well as letting my husband cut me off from my friends), but I put on a brave face while at work. I slowly started coming out of my shell and trying to befriend my coworkers (often with disastrous results). Finally, I started doing things (I kept going to school, became my daughter's Girl Scout leader) and reconnected in odd ways with old friends (several were Girl Scout leaders in town, one by accident through Freecycle) and finally divorced my husband (the best move I ever made). It took YEARS--my daughter is about to turn 15, and although my life is still lonely at times, I try to find things to occupy myself. Try making weekly 'dates' with different friends, join a playgroup for your son and befriend other parents, or start a new hobby. I know it's hard, especially since you believe that your ex is 'the one', but if he's in the military and active duty, it could be that he's just got a lot going on (he might go overseas), but you can do it! I sent you a friend request, and I hope that we can stay in touch! Good luck sweetie!

I'm an introvert. I don't make friends easily and I'm not terribly good at nurturing friendships, either. So I often feel like I have no friends. Friendships have to be fed AND they have to be mutual. Also, friendships evolve over time depending on our experiences and circumstances. I have "best friends" from other stages in my life that I no longer hear from and who seldom respond. We have both moved on. And there are friends who physically move on, move away, making it hard to maintain the same level of friendship as before. Take heart. There are people out there who have common interests and are looking for friendships, too. Don't be too quick and over-invest in a relationship before you really get to know each other. But do mingle as much as you can. Make yourself to talk to someone in your class before or after class. Make yourself talk to a different person each day as you wait to be selected for a jury. Make small talk with your neighbors. Get to know someone at your child's school or some other mothers of children your age that you meet wherever you take your child when you are out. But don't let yourself get depressed and isolate yourself even more. Work out some child-care sharing with other mothers and go DO something without your son at least once a week. Take care of your emotional needs so you don't appear "needy" to everyone you meet. You'll get through this. Hang in there.

hi luckycharm, I feel like this at least twice a week. When I was younger like in my teen years I got caught in the moment many times thinking I was going to stay that age forever and everybody and everything was never going to change. Now in my 30s, wow I think back and wonder about how I could be in such a fantasy land? Who was I kidding? My mom use to tell me that life is short and time goes by so quickly and I thought she was talking out of her *ss. I noticed that it went a lot quicker after I had my son, as it's been 8 years already gone by and it was in a blink of an eye. All my friends that I had back then, I maybe talk to 2 or 3. Everyday I keep meeting new people that I find myself trying to replace the old ones with but have to remember that two people can't be the same so sometimes I just have to remember to move on. To me, that's what life is all about, learning lessons and experiencing people, places, emotions.. etc. Have a great day!

I have had this feel before, that time I'm too attach to my boy friend, some more I have no own transport, so I had distance with my friends. But since I have my own transport, and I meet my old friend back, we did keep in touch. So now I don't feel that I have no friend. I think you can contact with more old friends, this may help.

I have felt like that before. I actually felt like i had no friends when i recently moved to where i am now. I still only maybe have 1 or 2 close friends in the area i am in now. I have tons of friends where i moved from that i am thankfully still in contact with. I am so thankful that we are all still in contact. I guess it takes a little effort on both sides to keep the friendships strong. I have 2 small kids so im home alot and thats one reason why i dont have many friends around where i am now. everyone else is younger and have babysitters as to where i cant easily hand my kids over and just go out. so i guess thats why i dont have as many friends. I have alot of associates who i can hang out with from time to time or talk to when i need to but i dont call them close friends.

I always felt this way before. I always thought, I have no friends and people comes to me, claiming they're my friends, and ask favors from me, but in the end, they'd just dump me. I have no communication with them whatsoever, and they would just contact me whenever they ask something from me. I didn't realize I have true friends until my wedding day, a lot of them came. I was actually happy to see them. So you see, having friends doesn't mean you should always keep in touch with them. Even though you are miles away from them, once they've touched you life, they will remain forever in your heart, no matter how little you talk with each other. Don't feel bad about it, just move on and make more friends.

Yeah sometime I feel like you, I've a lot of friends, but sometime I've period of silence, I don't see anybody and nobody call me or even try to ask about me, and I get angry, lonley and feeling bad, this is bad, but when so, I try to call one of m best friends and explain why I'm angry from him so he can understand me and apologize, i don't mean that he should apologize, I mean to feel me. because people sometime forgot, yeah really, even their friends, when you become busy you won't remember anyone except yourself that's what happen with most people. So If you want not to feel like this, try to keep in touch with others even for a while, you will feel better.

I think all mothers have this feeling from time to time. So they say..this too shall pass...I think you will be having fun soon..Enjoy your little one while he's little, and you will be reward in time to come! Chinny up, girl! You will survive this!

I've tried real hard the past few years to make friends andieven got screwed over by one of them. i got extremely depressed even with my family around.i get extremly moody around them and i always feel like i'm being smother by them,and i know they don't understand anything i'm going thru.The only outlet i have is going to work and karate which my family doesn't really support me with,i get freguent arguement with my mom and she won't let me with my daughter,that a whole different ball of wax don't ask.I'm pretty sure that i'm going to die an old maid,with my cat,so your not alone,there a lot of us lonely hearts out there.

i ever felt it, and i did around with my motorcycle... i just look for a new information what had happen when i was not there or go there....lol at least i found a new one which can be include my plan after i'm back with all my friends..

Dont worry too much! perhaps they are busy? I dont get to see my friends also because all of them are out of the country. Im the only one left here. Simply keep yourself busy. Do a lot here in mylotting. People here are more friendlier than the actuall people you see. :D

sometimes you feel you have no friends i sometimes have the same feeling bit it is not ture ? they just don‘t satisfies us or do something disappiont us ? they love us in fact and they look us as friends

I've had that same feeling, but on a smaller scale. Moving from middleschool to Highschool all my friends I've been with my whole life seem to just claim me as there friend when it suits them. I try to make plans with them, but like you said it always falls out on their part. What I have decided to do is to just make new and better friends, it was hard for me moving from people I've known my whole life to other people I am just know starting to know.

very nice to meet you, you have the angel face. in fact, i always told me that if i feel lonely today, because i had the warming memory before. you are the luky lady, since you have the precious gift -- your son, maybe you every day had to use many time and energy to take care of him, but the thing you do are very happiness and worthiness. i think what you every need is to make friends to share what you feel. you had said that some of your friends are not very keep in touch, i am deeply understand what the feeling since i leave the school, when we are had to face the society, we incessantly to pursue what we want, and forget what we indeed need in our heart. so, today is my luck day for i meet you here, can we make a friend to share what the happy or unhappy things at the coming day...

When your a kid and maybe even a teenager friends are so very close mainly because you are young and single in your life style, as you get a bit older sometimes it feels like your friends have moved on as we all sort of go down different roads and move on a little, I think this is normal, they say a friend is one that you can be away from for awhile and then you can move in and out of each others life the main thing is that you are there for each other in the real bad times, I think it is rather normal to move on and live your own lives but make sure you do have times together even if it isn't as often...this can be sad though when everyone else is coupled up and one may still be very single...

Hello Luckycharm, we are in the same boat but you know what I do to make my loneliness leave me is to come right here in mylot and pass my day. Yes I used to have alot of friends. They were always around, but I didn't know that it was because I could have assist them in time of need. Now I have lost my job because of my illness and I don't have any friend. There are times I even forget to pray but knowing that God is there for me comfort my soul. Your babyfather maybe need his space. There are times when couple separate and one of them realize that they are still in love and do not know how to cope with it, so even that friendship they used to share begin to get strain. Don't worry about it he will comes around soon. All the best.

I know how You feel I have no Friends Myelf all the ones I knew turned out to be scumbags One even stoled My camera which was very important to me. I guess I just got used to being alone plus I believe I am a fairly boring person so that doesn't help LOL!

Well I guess your friends is just so busy with their own lives or with other things right now...and maybe you are just too emotional about it like before you spend much quality time with your friends....Try to channel your thought on some other things aside from it and for sure you'll feel different...

I've felt this way before and i would say x's are not the answer. I know i dont wanna talk to my ex, and ll my guy firends feel the same. Maybe join some programs or clubs of some sort and meet new people and hang out with them. Maybe after that your friends will be jealous that you have no time for them anymore and want you back even more.

It seems that everyone has such a problem. Me too. I am a college student and for the past years , I indeed make a lot of so-called friends . The reason I say 'so -called' is that i always feel they are just playmates or the people I know but not the friends I indeed need. I 'm not sure whether this is my problem or their problem.I think the fierce competition sometimes contribute to this result.So now I gradully begin to make some friends out of my own area. and it seems to be going well until now. Best wishes to the friendship ! And best wishes to you luckycharm o(n_n)o...
