Friendless

[beckiemariya]

I know this sounds perfetic but I actually have no friends other then colleagues at work every time in tell my work colleagues I don't have friends outside work they fail to believe me but I don't have any mates to share things with just my partner I feel so lonely i just want girlie mates to talk to or either hang out whether it's going out on a weekend or staying in with a bottle of wine and chocolates. I get on with so many people and wouldn't say I'm not a nice person. I just don't know where to go to meet friends at the age of 25 I don't have kids so it's not like I have mummy friends to make. I don't go to college university or anywhere to come across new friends. Is there such think as a find a friend website lol I can't actually believe I'm asking about advice on this. Anyone else have this problem? X

I am exactly the same as you! I work in an office and I am the youngest one in there! They are all 40+ I literally have no one to talk to when I get home it sucks but like you I dunno where to start x

I'm 26 and really only have one friend, Its not just you its hard because I never went to college and I dont have an office job like most. I also moved away from where I went to high school so no friends there either. I'd love to find more people to talk and hang out with

 

[beckiemariya]

Thank goodness I just was starting to think i was the only one. People I work with all vary in ages but I get on with all of them but they all have there own mates outside of work who they socialise with. What on earth is a girl to do at 25 I swear I found it easy to make friends when I was younger and I was extremely shy back then 😒 lol. Maybe I should start some sort of club/activity just to gain mates x

I moved a few hundred miles last year and although ive lived in my new area before I don't know many people. I joined a local Face book group to meet new people & made a great friend. Maybe there is something similar in your area x

Hey Hun,

I think Many people are in the same boat. It's was so much easier when we were children or teens to make new friends.

It's not about quantity but quality. I've had to sack a few friends over the years lol.

I know of two websites one is about £20 a month called city socialising and the other is called meet up and is free. I was a member of one and went to a few events etc but got up busy with work etc my sis joined too and met a girl she's now good friends with. Xx

There's a post on here for 'coffee with friendless geeks' someone started up to find other geeks in your area to meet up. Not sure where you are from? Maybe go on there see if there is anyone on here close to where you live x

Add me to the friendless list lol !
I have colleagues who I suppose are my friends now we chat out of work ! But definitely know how you all feel Xxxx

Why not arrange a work night out, but very informal in a local bar/pub. You can go out and have some drinks and start to network with people. You may make friends with some of your work colleagues friends and find you have loads in common with them! I think you need to get out there and socialise! Xxxx

I can definitely relate to this. I don't think I've ever actually had a friend, only acquaintances from work or toddler groups but I don't speak to them any other times x

Snap, I work in an office that consists of older men, no one to talk to! (Also in Liverpool, hi!)

Hello! Maybe we should be friends!! x

Exactly the same!!! I have always struggled to make real friends as im very shy and a bit insecure. I'm 28, 29 next month, all my work collegues have friends and do fun things all the time, like go away on exciting weekends etc my house mates who are boys always do things, they have rugby, gym, golf all that comes with regular outings of weekend away, nights out, days out, movie dates, to the extreme tho! My bf is involved in this and i must admit i feel a bit jealous but also like a sad loner.

I have tried really hard to get myself out there, i've joined a pole dance class and gone back to college to learn spanish, both things i want to learn anyway but the no friend thing is what spurred me on, im fed up with feeling like theres something wrong with me and why doesnt anyone like me? lol

The outcome so far? no new friends…as of yet. i dont think i will walk away with any new friends if im honest but least i will have learnt something…..i don't know the answer, my experience and my circle of ppl around me is they are all school/college mates from when they were younger and there groups have grown, mine always was s*** so i dont have much hope but all i can do is try! good luck to you xxx

Exactly the same for me! I've recently moved about 2 hours away from where I've lived my whole life because I got married and moved up with my hubby. But I don't have anyone to talk to apart from him and it's just not the same lol. And where I live (military base) everyone is older than me and have children!
I'd love to have a friend to do girly things with!

I've only had a couple of friends all my life and one died of cancer, and my other friend lives miles away since I moved to Manchester so I only chat to her once in a blue moon on the phone.

I have acquaintances, but no friends in Manchester.

I'm from Manchester, I moved to a new area just outside Manchester a few years ago when I moved in with my partner. Since then I've pretty much lost touch with all but one friend that I see every 2-3 months or so. To top it all off I'm currently on maternity leave so I don't even get adult conversation from work anymore. It's bloody boring!!

One tip I can give is to think broadly about friends.....I have friends ranging from 18 to 80s, and many have very different lifestyles/interests from me. OK, not all are close friends,I can count the really close ones on one hand, but they are all people I'm glad to have in my life.

I have come to the conclusion that we are losing our human nature of socializing because of technology. It's a sad world of people glued to video games and anime and not living in the real world. It makes me sad.

Ah see I don't agree, I have made lots of fantastic friends on Geek, which has transferred over to Facebook. I met up with one geek in Belfast when we went to see the Script, met another whilst I was on holiday and two more at the recent Olympia show. Three of these geeks I speak to every day and I've asked them to be godmothers to my little boy.

I moved away from London 7 years ago, it was where I grew up. I've made friends with people I worked with in a nursery and still see some of them now. I have a great friend I met on the school run and one of my ex clients is also a good friend too. I like to keep my circle small. I have friends of varying ages and not all of them know each other, which I like because I get to do different things, with different people.

You should arrange a geek meet
