i just came to a realization...

I've been thinking a lot to day and i have no friends! 
High school has taught me a lot. It's my senior year and I have no one. It's crazy how I break my back for some people and they don't do the same. Like it hurts a lot but it okay I guess. Rant over just had to get that out

I'll be your friend *hugs*. I only have 5 so far I have trouble with people they don't really seem to accept me for who I am!

My senior year my only rl friend I barely spoke to since she had graduated three years prior and was busy adulting. I would like to say things got better but I still have very few people I consider friends. Though my one high school friend and I are still very close. 

So I know the feeling of out of my way to help people and have them be no where when I need help. I'm always here if you ever need to vent or just want an online friend. 😊

It's hard to find good friends.

I will say that everything changes once you get out of high school. I found that the years after that have led me to some of the best people I have in my life. Even then, it's a very small group of people. I do still feel alone occasionally, but most of the time, that's something I value. For every great friend I've made, I've gone through countless others. Just don't let it get you down, forgive and forget, but also don't let people walk all over you and realize your worth.

Thanks guys. I love this game 

Friends are hard to come by I'm afraid.

Personally I made a few friends over my high school years. But where are they now? Certainly not with me. I'm through my first year of college and I have not a single friend. I'm used to lending my aid to any person, knowing I'll get nothing in return. It's just hard to come by someone who will stay with you, at least more than a year.

I know the feeling. It hurts a lot and I am still bitter about it sometime. I am deaf so I grew up in deaf community and culture. That's something I always envied about hearing people... not because they can hear, but they can escape and start afresh if they want to. 

I came from one of well-known deaf school and my name is recognizable in deaf community. Deaf people often are quick to judge me based on my school. I had many people told me that I was very different from what they expected. I went to different state for college and I still can't escape my past. I felt bitter because I do came across my former classmates often and they often will talk about high school years and how fun it was... Gee thank you for reminding me how you used to bullied me... I often think about moving aboard because I do value my deaf identity and doesn't want to leave the community. However, I will always be an outcast in USA's deaf community because my opinions are too strong and I often will speak out if I disagree on something...

For you, don't lose hope yet. You can find friends in college or workplace. I was fortunate enough to find a tiny group of good friends even with my challenges. If I can find a friend, I believe that you will be able to find one. I came from a small community/culture and had limit choices in friends since communication is #1 for me. Yet, I was able to find three good friends.

I'm a senior as well, all I have is my boyfriend and cousin. If I didn't have my boyfriend, I'd have nobody close by. If I didn't have either of them I'd have nobody. I understand. It's hard to find people who really connect with you, I can never find someone to match my sense of humor, and there are hardly any horse people around where I am. 

That's the thing about school from what I hear from others is it's hard to still be friends with people you went to school with or come out only really having a friend or two if you have any at all. Really you make your friends with neighbors or people you meet you work with it seems or people you have the same hobbies with etc. It's part of growing up I think, school is just a growing process then once your out is where you really find your friends.

I once made a friend at school because she was talking about horses and I was like "Hey, I ride horses too!"

I'm also in the school's Queer-Straight Alliance and it's the most social club ever where everyone is screaming "Gay!" at each other and one of the girl's mom makes food for us and everyone rushes to get to the club so we can get food. I also live in a very liberal place.

Tip: Join your schools QSA (or GSA) and bring food to bribe them all to like you. You will make friends very fast.

Outside of school (high school / college) it's not really that easy to make friends. You'll make friends at work and stuff but they're primarily friendships of convenience. It's hard to find friends who you will mesh with on a personal level or based on common interests. I've been living in a new state for about a year and have work chums and family but that's it. I'm hoping to use the meetup app to find people with common interests, as well as going to some LGBT events. As a person with anxiety - it is very.. scary, but I hope it's not impossible! :]

i have not been in school for a very long time and though i have a few people that i call a friend true friends and people who care about you are few and far between. That is life guys. What you all can do to help if to be who you are not what you think people want you to be. Don't change you to make friends. Andromeda even in your small community there are people who will accept you for who you are and how you are. Do give up your self or move abroad because then they win. There are people who will accept you for who you are. I have found a few close people and even though there are not many of them they are true friends.

I realized that I felt very lonely during college because all of my friend graduated early or were doing internships elsewhere...i felt like I had no friends. And then I did make some friends and realized they w erent really friends and I didn't fit in because they never invited me to camp/hike/to parties. I loved that town but I couldn't wait to leave. 

It is a really horrible place to be, but it does get better!
