Who here has no friends?
- Thread starter ThankQ
- Start date
That's okay, some of DarthTom's friends are up in his asshole.
I know a lot of people and talk to quite a number of people but I've never really thought about who qualifies as a friend and who doesn't. I'll be most anyone's friend.
Facebook says I have 303 friends - does that count? 
(And I actually know about 80-90% of them IRL, but there's a joke in Toronto fandom that I know everybody. Most of the rest are from here or Livejournal, and a few others are authors I've met... and one cast member from Queer As Folk to whom I sent a friend request on a whim when I saw that someone else I know had added him. I was surprised when he accepted the request...)
In all seriousness, I probably know a couple of dozen people who would qualify as real friends, whom I could call on if I needed help burying a body.

No. People behaving like you are, trying to "fix" me is very high up on the list of reasons why I don't have any friends.
So you just want no friends? Ever?
What would be the point ?
To find enjoyment in friendship.
To do activities with.
To have someone to confide in.
To be able to help them when they have problems.
To be able to make an impact on someone else's life.
To have someone to try new things with.
I'm not going to lie. You seem like a depressed person and I want you to get better. Have you ever had any friends? Why are you writing it off?
I haven't had any friends for a long time. I appreciate that this is well intentioned but to go any further in to this would require me to explain things I am not comfortable explaining on a Star Trek message board.
Well I'm not going to go on and on because if you don't want friends that's your own business. But I do wish you wouldn't shut people out quite so much. You seem like you'd be a lovely person to get to know.
Why would you post about not having any friends in the other thread (thus inspiring this one) if you didn't want someone to comment on it? If you're trying to avoid receiving advice or commentary posting about your lack of friends on an internet forum seems like the wrong way to go.
I have about 5-6 very good friends, three out of them I am very close with. Another 6-7 of regular acquaintances. That's about it.
Thank you.
I wasn't the first person to say that. I believe The God Thing was.
Why post anything ? Why tell people what your favourite ten movies are ? Who you voted for in a poll ? What you bought today ? The question I raised so I answered it.

Technically I have a couple friends but more importantly I have associates and co-workers. Because of my paranoid, schizo-whatever, bipolar behavior I am better by myself. *shrugs* Always have been, always will be fine.
I do talk to people when I am lonely, I know where to find people but loneliness is simply a reaction to being isolated. Currently, no one is at my house. So I am naturally isolated. My reaction to that is to find people that I like talking to. But they aren't exactly my friends. They might call me their friends but really, and I told them quiet blankly, that I have no friends. Cold as it sounds, they understand perfectly because of my - er odd ways.
Now, if you count the dozen or so people that I converse with inside my head...then yes I do have friends. But eh. They come and go as they please as well.

Like Hermiod I don't have any friends as I like to keep to myself alot. I have people I work with and I can talk to them sometimes about most things but that's about it. Somtimes I can be quite distant and vague about my own life and what I get upto. I'll say things about myself that I later regret cause I don't want people to know too much about my life but I have this compulsion sometimes to just say things.
To say the least I'm fairly happy about myself and prefer being on my own, sometimes.

Family: mom and dad are dead my brother is on his way out, most likely, and does not call anymore; the sister-in-law went crazy like the people she helped her whole life.,, and does not contact me anymore. My x just wants to run my life still., and so => she is still out of the picture!!!!
Friends:? at this rate they just feel sorry for me and or abuse me depending on their moral codes and virtues but, whatever.,,
but still, yes I might call them friends more so then not ., the ones I abuse more then they abuse me are the real friends.., and they know that far too well.
my muse, this female person, could actually abuse me more then I abuse her but we would laugh it off in the end; more so then not.

A friend will stand up for you when you lie and when your wrong and then tease you about lying and being wrong later.
A friend would eat shit and die for you, just to be your friend, then you(I) would suffer the psychological scares for the next few lifetimes; or so.,
A friend would ., give up the next few lifetimes of theirs so they could be with you to abuse you, for that very fact.
A friend does not stop when you say "no more" but knows more about you then you do and or you need to know somehow, sometimes.,
friends: mingle their fart smells to see if a new smell is produced,.,/.

I'm replying to your message, even though I don't have to.
Don't you think, you don't help yourself by being in stealth mode and not allowing PMs. You've sellotaped your letterbox shut and complaining that nobody mails you. Come out of the darkness

I'm not complaining, just stating a fact.
