I don't think I have any friends

No, you're just (post)modern. According to surveys most Americans only have 2 close friends and the number of Americans with no close friends is considerable.

I think a lot of people will say they have no friends when they're feeling down on themselves. They probably feel a lack of or no close friends and that the world is against them. Some people can have a thousand "friends" yet zero close friends. You're not alone in feeling this way. Most people keep quiet about personal struggles and lack of friendships for fear of being judged or humiliated. Hope fully that stigma can end some day.

Don't you hang out with Rosey Palm?

Who needs friends when you have beer and a pc?

Hey man. I posted about this a few weeks ago. Same exact thing here. I literally felt like I almost wrote it.

It really is depressing, and kinda embarrassing at the same time.

I mean I have a ton of friends at school too, but yeah they all seem busy with all their other friends outside of school.

It's like how do you cross that transition to hanging with people outside of school.

I've done a lot bro, I've taken a kid to an NFL almost 'buying' his friendship. We're best friends in school, but outside of school, he wouldn't think twice to call me.

I also have this great friend who I've been friends with for like 6 years since 8th grade. He just literally doesn't care about me. We used to both have no friends in 8-10th grade, but he ended up with a full fledged friend group, and doesn't give a shit about me. I'm even really good friends with his friend group too!! He just can't give a damn. I've called him out on it, he's just told me to chill out.

I also have 2 friends one who runs, they're good kids, kinda hung out with them over the summer, but we just drifted apart, but in kinda back there now.

I mean just wanted to show you you're really not alone. And you're definitly not a loser. Truth is these kids probably don't know what they're missing out on.

Do you see you have 1 good conection to a group? Honestly sometimes it doesn't hurt to casually mention how no one ever asks you to do anything. Or even by like hey guys let's get food sometime.

I mean you kinda wrote out my life with your post. Trick is to keep preservering and never give up. I don't think you are doing something wrong (I mean maybe if you're dressing like an idiot), you just gotta keep hustling.

Something will come up, I promise.

If I had any advice for you, I'd say just keep trying to make more friends.

This sounds weird to say but maybe focus on someone who has a friend group you're trying to be part of. Pick someone from a friend group where everyone likes you, and make sure you're closest with them.

Then I would really become buddies with him, like casually though. Don't kiss up, but be bros with him. Ask him if he wants to go to some NHL NBA game if he's into that and if you had tickets. He might even then wanna hang out with you, if not maybe even bring it up

What grade are you in? Because soon you're going to college, so don't worry about it too much.

I'm sorry all my advice sucked I like just woke up and maybe I'm not the best one haha.

Wow I'm exactly the opposite of what you described. I have a couple really good friends who I hang out with a lot but I don't know a lot of ppl outside my close group.

I can be your friend. What's your mile time?

Join the cross country team or any other group of people. Stick it out over the long haul, be yourself, and be willing to get to know others. It will work. I guarantee it.

Well, it seems you want to have a couple of friends to hang out and the best way to do that is, invite some friends to hang out. If you dont end up liking them or they dont get back at you, repeat with different people.

Also, if you are any serious about gaming sell your PS4 and build a PC.

Maybe you and that loser can be friends. Just what this world needs. two more cry babies! ACT LIKE A MAN- It's high school guys, lighten up. You want it to be better, make it better. Get closer to the people you think would make good friends. Be approachable, ask people to hang out. If worse comes to worse, start taking drugs, even those losers seem to have friends.

Hang in there. There is lots of life beyond high school. I played ultimate frisbee in college. That was a great way to find a community.

Even now I only have a couple close running/ultimate buddies and my family, but I'm not really a "hang out" kind of guy. I've gotten over feeling like I'm missing something and realized that for my disposition that is more than enough.

Was at a race today. A High School XC team was there competing. After the race I noticed a guy was doing the cool down run and stretches with girls team. He had a nearly shaved head with a pony tail with a pink ribbon. Not sure if he was gay or not (probably) , but all the girls seemed to like him. I'm not saying playing for the other team is okay, but you might want to try hanging out with the freaks and geeks. You could also join a church related youth group.They a least will include you in most events. Wouldn't worry about it too much.

Life is long and full of interesting and nasty people. More good than bad, but the jerks will make you appreciate those who are not.

Expect Great Things, for America.

Hey man, don't beat yourself up. This is more normal than you think, although I definitely wouldn't have realized that when I was in school. Most people just cover it up really well because they can't admit any flaws. The people I've known who are open about their flaws are generally stronger though, so I wouldn't feel ashamed about talking about this. It'll make you better in the long run. High school is one of the worst places for feeling inadequate thought because other people and their friends are in your face.

Anyway, dealing the problem: I had a coupled of lonely years in high school. I managed to go to parties pretty consistently in the final 1 or 2 years, but the trick was to find a "connection guy". Just 1 guy who's reasonably well connected (he doesn't have to be super popular, just maybe 5-10 friends that he knows who throw parties) and focus more of your attention on him. Over time you'll get introduced to more people and then more than just this 1 connection guy will invite you out. Make sense? Other than that keep doing what your doing by being likeable and relatable while not coming off as too desperate. Have fun! Keep running, it'll help you relax :)

Why do you want a close friend? Have you got any problems? Why do you want to unload yourself on some other human. Why not take care of yourself like an adult.

I am certainly older than you are and have felt this way for most of my life. Learn to enjoy solitude and get the most out of it, as it can be very rewarding.

Perfectly stated.

In your life you may only have about 5 real friends all time.

You'll likely have a lot of acquaintances.

Lots of us go through life solo until you find a mate. Its part of life. If you are that concerned and you know where they hang out. Get off the ps4 and head to where they are.

Don't be waiting around for someone to find you in the basement. And don't worry.

Friends are overrated.
