make some friends

dont really have many friends

Okay, so I want to make friends, but don’t know how to go about it. I used to have a lot of friends when I was younger from school and church; but as an adult the only people I know is from work and I’m not working right now. So, how do I start making friends? Someone give me an idea of where to start, keep in mind I’m 31yrs old and don’t go to church or school. I’m pretty much a straight-edged person, I don’t drink, use drugs or go to nightclubs or bars; so if anyone can give me a few suggestions I’ll be willing to do them!

I’ve been trying to connect with people online more lately. So far it’s not working.

I used to have lots of friends when i was at school, but when i went on to college all the girls just hated me. I did my best to to be as nice as i could, but it made no difference. I used to hear them bitching about me all the time and i hadnt even done anything. i go out with my sister and her friends most of the time but i have no real friends of my own. I KNOW ITS SAD!!! XX

I had brunch with a friend I met almost a year ago. We haven’t hung out really at all, but we were talking at a bbq yesterday and decided to get together for brunch today. It was a great time. We’re planning to hang out next week too.

I have none really. It’s weird, there are so many people I know but we never hang out. I had friends growing up, but I’ve moved a few times and lost my good friends along the way. And I have a couple of friends I’ve made in high school that I still talk to but we’re not into the same things, I don’t really drink, smoke, do drugs, and I’m not single, and their interests have just changed a lot. They say a good friendship can take years off of your life…I hope to die at an old age.

It’s always been difficult for me to find people that share the same interests as me and who I can relate to and make close bonds with. The few friends that I did have moved away and/or got married and after a while I realized that I was always the one calling them and they would not call me. I hate to be the one chasing behind people. It makes me feel like I am the only one trying to contribute to the relationship. I am pretty much a loner in my everyday life but it would be nice to have people close to me whom I can trust and share my thoughts with. Most of the time the only people I end up hanging out with if any are coworkers. But that type of friendship never seems to grow to the level that I would want it to be at. I know people say that we are social creatures by nature but sometimes I wonder if I am destined to be alone. So I sit in my apartment alone with my thoughts.

I have been living in a new city for almost a year now and I still don’t have any one I can truely call a “friend” I’ve hung out with a couple people that my boyfriend met from work but that’s about it. I feel so alone sometimes. I don’t think my boyfriend understands it either. I don’t know what to do with myself. He’s the only one I ever hang out with, and I get pretty lonely. I need to just get out there and make some friends. I’ve never really had any “girlfriends” in my life. I usually make friends with guys easier. I really just want a group of friends that I can have coffee with or go out with some evening.

i left school 2 years ago. i havent been able to hold down either a realtionship or a friends ship for longer then about 6 months! people just seem to drift away, and honest, i feel like everybody has drifted away and im still standing in the same place

i feel pretty alone here.
