Do You Have Any Friends?

[EmmaOwl]

I have a small circle of life long friends. Some for over 35 years..

You would be a lovely friend, to cherish, @ladee !
I'm no good at long-term friendships. I have too many lags or lapses and I disappear. I don't intend to, it just happens.

@allie D a real friend would understand that about you.
My friend D and I have had times where we didn't talk or see each other. We wernt angry...life just took us different paths. But one or the other would call and it was as tho time lapse never happened.
Real friendships take time.
And I've had long time friends that as I grew and changed..I let go.
You would be a great friend!

Hello Lauren Taylor,

no, I dont have any. Only my partner, and my mom.
Actually I never had any friend. I come off quite sarcastic and I like the truth. No, sugartalk works for me, plus I find it hard to hug others and be all goody goody.


I am learning, that one can do smalltalk once in a while.

Even if I did find a friend, it would be a long time before I could trust them?........... .........I think thats due to my confidence taking such a knock when I was so badly stabbed in the back by all my late wife's family.................. ..........I don't think I will ever get my conficence back, I was treated so badly by them all?.............They stole everything from me, in was totally devestitated!

PURUSHA - that is good! I think smalltalk is underrated. It can make a big difference. Keep on with that!

I can't pay attention to a book for two seconds.

I've been finally able to read books. It takes me longer than most people that much is certain, usually a month for 350 to 388 pages.

And friends? I used to have one and now I have none. Though I decided with her that I couldn't stand the lying/stealing which reminded me of my psychopathic father.

Apparently I missed out on several new postings. I had friends but I tend to disappear or just drift out unintentionally. it takes me months to come back around. I haven't talked to my last friend since October. The friend I caught up with from childhood well I haven't talked to her since I left. They would text me but I wouldn't respond. I am still in the same current mood. I'm not good in relationships because I have a big open heart that turns out to be a fool. My anxiety picks up. I'm basically a loner. I ride alone and I do everything alone. The guy I like now has PTSD and I'm seeing I'm not the only one who is a loner. He's a loner as well

I have a small group of close friends that I regard as family. I've known them more than 20 years. We live in different states though, so we only really hang out a few times a year, and it involves travel so it ends up being an "event". My husband and I also have a group of good friends where we live, and we usually go out with them maybe a couple times of the month. But for the most part, we just do stuff as a family.

I have found that I don't have patience for a lot of people. If they aren't stable, I can't be around them at all.

Nope. Every time I start building relationships I flake out and disappear and the friendships fall away. I'm really good at solo stuff now. Actually prefer going to the movies alone and I'm usually comfortable at concerts by myself.

I had one good friend of 20 yrs When my disassociation started, it was too much for her and I also learned our friendship was not as healthy as I thought it was

I don't have many friends but the ones I have are very good ones. I have a daughter and her boyfriend and two great grandchildren.

I moved and started over and my husband died, so I live alone now and far away from my family. I miss them very much because my daughter is now very sick and I want to be closer to my grandchildren.

I thought I was the only one who did this!! Thanks so much for making me feel not alone in this
