I have no friends

I am just too into my family. My husband and I have mutual friends and I do things with them one on one, but rarely am I excited about it. I would rather sit at home and be with my family or do my own thing. My husband thinks this makes me a strong person because I do not need others to make me happy. I take that as a compliment, but sometimes I wonder if I am just weird. Don't get me wrong, I love all of my friends, but since we've moved away, I've rarely spoken to them anymore. Our group of friends is very tightly knit though. We know we will always be eachothers friend.

the difference between you and me is that i have lots of friends but it is diffrent to my set of friends whom i hang out with, be with everytime we plan to meet, whom i can share my insaane trips etc.. I am the type of person that is loyal and you can always count on me if you are my friend. When I'm in college, we seldom see. We're in different colleges and we have different courses. I experienced being alone and it realxes me more and that i can't be depended to anyone.

I can see myself in you as I read your description about yourself. I was an only child. I enjoy being by myself. My mother would have to drag me out of the room to go to parties and socialize. I have some close friends, but I have never been fond of crowds. I do not think there is anything wrong with you. You are just you, unique own your own. If not, then I am as weird as you. LOL!

There are just some people who enjoys to be alone and some wants to be in the big crowd. It really depends on the person. True, everyone is unique. As for me, socializing with others is very important. I always make it to the point that I could see my friends after the many days I've been dedicated to my work. Friends just help me take out the stresses in me.

I am much like you. I have very few friends and nearly all of them now live miles and miles from me so I seldom see them. I'm really quite an introvert. I wear out really quickly when in a crowd of people, like at a party or a big dinner. I like people in small, brief doses. That's my personality type. But sometimes I wonder what I'd do if I suddenly lost my spouce. Would "our" friends still be my friends? When I was divorced I found that most of "our" friends were his friends and I was left with very few. I wonder if that would happen again in this relationship. Would I be able to make new friends when I'm old? When I don't have kids at home to connect me with other adults? Even my kids live miles and miles from me now. I wonder.

Crazy. I think people who take sides are not very nice. My husband and I broke up for awhile when we were dating, but none of our friends took sides. They were very loyal to both of us. Maybe that is why they are still our friends. My mother in law got divorced and my husband is always concerned about her. She doesn't do anything for herself. She consumes herself with her kids and they worry about her. It's a crazy thing to think about, but it happens. Hell, it happens when you're young too!

I dont think you are weird at all i am the same way. I do have friends and we do things together but i find that some of my friends want to monopolize my time and try to dictate my life and i dont like that. If i had wanted to spend that much time with my friend i would marry them. I like my time at home with the family but i am also a loner type person i really enjoy my quality time by myself.. So no there is nothing wrong with u for being that way you are no doubt like hundreds of other like me.
