Hi, I’m Claire. I don’t have many friends either. I find it hard to talk to people as I always think they don’t find me interesting, don’t want to talk to me and try and get away as quick as possible.

Well it’s very nice to meet you Shelley. I have a daughter too. I don’t see much of my family. Which is why my little family means so much to me.

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Its extremely difficult for friends and family. Friends can walk away but family carnt.

[M-peters in reply to Hidden]

yes but they wish they would

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Is that what you think

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Are you ok

[Sonny216 in reply to M-peters]

Hey M,

No friends of my own either.

I'm sure it's due to my anxiety, depression and Asperger's. Have never been diagnosed. Not taking meds. Just wishing I had a job and a place to live. Living back home since loosing everything 4 months ago. I'm living in a nightmare. It's the worse days of my life.

Oops sorry didn't mean to say all that. Oh well. Just wanted to identify with what u said

[M-peters]

its what they say

[Clarebear86 in reply to M-peters]

What an interesting group of people we make. All want friends but think no one wants anything to do with us.

[Hidden in reply to Clarebear86]

Yeah I think contacting people that have similar problems makes it somewhat easier.

[Sonny216 in reply to Clarebear86]

I want a Real friend..someone who sticks around. Someone who enjoys my company. Sad, thought I found that several times..but Nope!

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Oh gosh that must make you feel worse

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Oh gosh that must make you feel worse within yourself.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

Are you ok

Hi Paroma, I've had no friends my entire life. I always believed that one day I would but for some reason, I end up being an outcast, a target for bullying, or the topic of rumors and gossip. Women have never liked me before getting to know me. I have been depressed all my life and struggle more these days than I ever have in my life. You are not alone, there are many of us that are in the same boat, different ocean.

[Clarebear86 in reply to GodsMistake]

Well we don’t judge. & we’re all just looking for someone to talk to, which is why we are here.

[Hidden in reply to GodsMistake]

Its a matter of finding people similar and I'm stuck in house everyday I go to shops and that's it. Iv no one to talk to and things overwhelm me easily. I want to meet people in person.

[Karmakat]

Hi there, i know what everyone means...i have had depression my whole life too and find it so much effort to keep friends...for some reason i never have luck with friends..we always drift apart. I have come to the point where i give up as its not worth it to get disappointed and none of them understand true depression and probably think i am stupid or lazy...

[FINE2017]

I don't have friends either.... i am not outgoing. I tend to keep to myself which worsens my anxiety....

[Lostjoy]

Hello, sounds like my life story as well. I tend to keep to myself. I envy those who are outgoing and can carry on conversations with strangers. I try but I get so nervous that I end up bailing. It’s nice to know there are many of us.

[M-peters]

especially when you've done or achieved something great, but there's no one to share that with.

[Hidden in reply to M-peters]

When you achieve something you must treasure that cuz its a huge thing.

[Hidden]

I understand you I know how you feel I can relate to you. I find it difficult to conversate with people it not cuz iv nothing to say it just my head always a mess and it difficult to talk. If someone says something I relate to it. What iv wrote is probably a mess when you read it and that cuz how words are in my head all jumbled up.
