/ZeroFriends/

21. I had a group of people you could maybe call friends early on in high school, but we'd drifted apart by the end of it. Don't speak to them any more, and haven't made any new friends or acquaintances in the 3 years I've been in uni.

> I've never actually "partied" at an actual "party" in my life
The only party I've ever been to was a highschool graduation party in some girls house. I got shitfaced drunk and threw up in someone else's driveway. Haven't been to a single social event in uni.
>my only contacts on my phone are "Mom", "Dad" and "Sister"
same
>my best friend's (I don't think I was his best friend though ;_; and now he's literally Chad)
Same experience bro, I became friendly with a guy in high school because we had the same fucked up sense of humor, but he was athletic and charismatic, and eventually became better friends with the other alpha chads in the school and it became clear we had nothing in common any more.

I'm too far gone. When you're autistic and socially isolated for years, your mind is so abstracted from social reality, the only thing that runs through your mind when someone says "How are you?" is "What a dumb question to ask, small talk is so dumb, I know i'm supposed to respond but it feels too cheesy"

Do you lie whenever you're asked or have to talk about "your friends"?

couldn't have said it better myself

My parents never bring it up. I know they know, but at least I don't have to talk about it. And I've gotten pretty skilled at avoiding the topic with other family members.

i used to have friends in most years of school because most of out interests were similar as kids but had no friends in all of 4 years of uni and will wait in the bathroom between classes because i did't have anything to do and lost all interests in any social activity

there were few situations where i found some people interesting and they found me same but failed duo to my poor social skills , i hope this gets better soon

multiple years. I was a loner for most of high school, i had some friends toward the end but didnt last long. In college i had friends my first semester and then I dropped out.

the worst part about all of this is, I could learn to tolerate having no social life. But there is an actual reason to make friends, which is forming a network so you can find opportunities such as jobs, volunteering, internships.

I think i'll just become friends with the professor. It's easier to become friends with older adults than with peers, and with academics I can get away with being more autistic

I'm not him but the last time I had someone who I genuinely considered a friend was in freshman year of high school. I transferred schools and although since then I've made acquaintances I have not since had someone to call friend. And even then I never had my friend in middle-school/high-school over to my house. I thought I had made friends since then but apparently none good enough to stay in contact with any sort of impedance on direct contact (being in the same class/school/club etc.)
I have one person who's an internet friend but she's never the one to initiate contact and I don't think she actually values me as much as I value her.
Maybe I can change things this year before it's too late, as I'm still young, but it's depressing whenever I exhaust my various forms of entertainment only to come face-to-face with my isolation.

I have zero friends but care more about starting a family yet it seems impossible to get married and have kids if I don't have any friends to start with.

Try taking up reading, an activity traditionally associated with lonely introverts

I'm exactly in the same situation, my most called contact in my phone is my mom, i dont even talk to my father or my sister. I consider myself as a pleasant person to talk to, but everyone eventually find somebody way more interesting than me. Nobody ever cared for me or actually asked me "how are you doing" because they were interested in me (except my mom). The only party ive been to was also a graduation party and i got so drunk i got into a fight with some asshole chad. The only friend i have in life is my grandfather, and he's going to die soon.

>graduation party
I was too embarrased to attend and I'm glad I didn't because from the pics that I saw, everyone was seated at tables with their good friends.

I don't really get joy from having friends, so I don't pursue relationships.

Lost all my friends after I moved away
from my hometown after Freshman year of high school. I still play vidya with all of them which is nice. But damn if I never moved away I'd have a really tight knit group of friends IRL.

Being a new kid in high school is miserable. Looking back at it, I don't know how I survived grades 10-12. Not one date or school dance. Not a single friend. Fast forward 2 years to college and still haven't gone on a date. I do have some friends (at my college) now which is nice I guess.

I started listening to music less than 2 years ago and it helps. Typical /mu/ core stuff but I enjoy it.

Is this what death feels like?

Things get better in college. Problem in high school is that everyone knows everyone. Sitting alone during lunch in high school is much different than sitting alone in college. No one bats an eye in college if you're eating alone at the cafeteria. In high school I was known as 'the kid who sits alone' so I was doomed from the start.

I went to a huge state school so it might be different at private colleges or something.

>I do have some friends (at my college) now which is nice I guess.
get out

I've almost reached the point of self understanding and maturity to be able to admit the same thing, but not yet... good on you for understanding that about yourself tho, that's a big thing.

It's easier to meet people in college than high school. Theres a shit ton of clubs to join. Enjoy playing smash? There's probably a smash club. Enjoy anime? I guarantee you there's an anime club. Enjoy lifting or want to get into it? There's probably a lifting club that meets every night.

What are you talking about? I'm your friend user!

I have a number of mental issues that make friendship impossible. I can't even feel loneliness, I don't miss people.

>My parents never bring it up
Funny, my entire (immediate) family seems to be made up of high-functioning autistic loners, so I never felt self-conscious about not having friends after I left school. My one sibling who actually does socialise a lot is like an enigma to my parents and other siblings.

There was a time I had zero friends
It was fucking miserable but it was also kinda comfy
I'm still technically there since I'm basically like in that everyone talks about monotonous bullshit and I don't think I've ever had a friend I felt I could rely on
I rarely see my friends anyway
I don't really have any advice except for maybe join a club or something since normies aren't as bad as you think, they mostly think of themselves so even if you fuck up they'll think about themselves and probably forget

you guys should be friends with each other

zero friends here since roughly 8 years old, am 21 now. At times I surprise myself how used to it I am.

I haven't had a friend for a couple years now, got used to the loneliness 2 years in, I don't even mind having no friends I just want a loyal bf

I'm 28, haven't had friends since the end of highschool 10 years ago.

Work kind of helps I guess in a shitty way. When I was unemployed I would loose my shit some times.

I cope largely through gaming, waifu, VN's and similar media. There's always that constant sadness behind it all though. You kind of get use to it, but it's always there.

I wouldn't just be friends with any one to make it go away though. I think having a friend who doesn't understand you, or just takes advantage of you is worse than having none at all in many ways.

I dont' think i'll ever meet some one who truly gets me though. At my age it's honestly too late.

Never works out. Most longterm friendless fags seriously forget how to even be friends with another person. Most forget how to even hold a normal conversation.

Any of you live in the Toronto GTA area?

>tfw no mmorpg gf
that picture makes me feel things. it's almost like the avatars are more real than the person.

oh fuck i'm having a virtual crisis

Anyone else act deliberately eccentric and weird as fuck? I cant help myself, I'll always use some odd turn of phrase, or bring up some irrelevant esoteric (for normies) topic. I've done this since high school, maybe even as a child. What the hell is wrong with me? It's honestly the most comfortable way for me to communicate, but it's the reason I dont have friends. Is it some kind of defense mechanism?

Yea but it's kind of my choice, don't have many good options.
I don't really I just go about my life feeling as bad as usual.

I've got 400 Facebook friends but I can't choose which one to discuss my deperssion with.

>>tfw no fellow lone wolf wife
this so much. I just want a wife so we can be each other's best friends

This thread makes me realize how lucky I am to still have my best friend from high school as my only friend. He still hangs out with another friend of ours and occasionally we all 3 hang out but that friend has turned to drugs and alcohol to combat depression and drifts from couch to couch so I barely see him anymore.
