Had to walk away from my last real friend yesterday. His life is too complicated for there to be room for me in it. Told him as much. No more South Park nite, no more geekin' out with the homie, no more nothing. Now there's exactly work life and home life for me. I hate what I do for a living. Computers suck and I'm pissed that I'm this good at working on them. Home life is just that... wife, kids, cats, dog, lawn, car. Nothing that I do for fun is of any interest to any of them and reciprocally now, me.

Anyone know what it's like to have not a single friend? Not one person that will return a phone call or even accept one from you reliably? And I don't mean some dude you know... I mean a friend. The people you call when you need to move a body.

Pretty despondent right now. Not even motivated to breathe regularly.

Slap him in the face and say "Bitch get your **** together or I'll kill you and make it look like an accident"

I have one friend that I could trust to move a body but he is more likely to be asking me for that favor.

I think my wife would get the shovel but I would have to do the lifting

Wow man, you sound down. Aside from My girlfriend, I've been pretty damn alone now for quite some time. It eats me up if i think about it too much, I'm more numb to it now. I need to find some hobbies or more interesting things to persue. I don't know what I'd have if i lost her. I'm sorry man.

I've gone through 3 or 4 best friends in my life, and I think I'm truly at my core of good friends.

Sorry to hear this r3d, but I don't know how older people meet new friends.

I pretty much gave up on relying on "friends" a couple of years ago. I have a couple of semi-close friends, but my Fiance' is my best friend and that's really all I need. I of course have my three brothers and my parents if I need some extra support, but I have become self-supporting on more than just the income & day to day level. Honestly, friends are just complicated, it's hard enough to keep up with my own life, I don't need the drama and the head ache of trying to keep up with theirs too.

You should always have at least one true friend...bodies are just too heavy to carry by yourself.

If you need help with the aforementioned you are going to have to give me some advanced notice cause I don't want to help after it starts to smell. Sorry we don't know each other that well

Jesus man that sucks.

Ive been around, lived in a dozen states and in other countries. Ive gone though a LOT of friends and i know how hard it is to find real good ones. UI have the best friends right now that i have ever had in my life.

I just lost a friend on friday. Not a distant one either, in my circle of friends he was clearly one of the pillars. Still trying to find out how he died, looks like a conflict with prescribed medicine.

i couldnt imagine going through that and not having my other friends to help get through this.

ive had times where i had no friends though, i moved to denver and for about a year and a half my friends consisted of a guy who kept walking out on his wife and a meth-head framer. That was a miserable year and a half. Aurora sucks ***.

I dont know what you mean exactly about his life being complicated, sometimes friendships just change over time, some get stronger, and some get more distant, but there are very very few times in my life where i have felt the need to completly cut off a friendship.

no matter what time passes and you meet more people.

oh yeah, i ******* hate computers too. but at least i suck at working on them

I've gone though a lot of friends since I've been to quite a few places. Grew up in Chicago, went to school in Michigan for a little, then moved to Texas and now go to school in Texas. I'd say I really only have 5 close friends that I know will be around for no matter what and that I'd feel comfortable going to for whatever reason. The rest are all just acquaintances

i have friends but dont consider anyone a true friend, i feel as if i cant trust no one so i keep all my personal things to myself. i dont want anyoe to rely on me because im at the point of my life which is gonna make or break my future. thats why i'm single and dont have a best friend. my main goal is school and want nothing nor anyone in between. lol

You will find friends. As you get older, some people just grow apart. I had at least 30 friends i saw regularly outside of school but they seem to fade away over time. Right now i have 2 best friends and i couldnt ask for more. We're going to Vegas in May.

r3d you cant bring yourself down. we all had times when all we had were our girlfriends, or sometimes even only ourselves. you'll pull through buddy.

Yeah I have had to let some so called friends go. Some people well, they just don't need to be my friend and the drama they have can stay with them. You need to go to the drag strip/road course and meet some other car people. I have meet a good group of people I really like through car stuff. Even way back when I had my F150.

Knife13 and I became good friends through car meet bullshit.

I just dealt with a similar situation two days ago. Long story short, someone I thought was my friend wasn't. They keep trying to contact me to say that they're sorry. But once I cut ties with someone, that's it. I will never talk to them again, and their number has since been erased from the address section in my phone.

I am also somewhat of a loner. Both of my parents were in the military, and then I joined, so I lost contact with all of my friends I had way-back-when. Then my mother and my father died while I was stationed here at Pope (Bragg), so I never went back "home." Now I have my wife, my kids, and my dog. I have a few people I hang out with, but nobody I would call a close personal friends, other than my wife. She is my everything, and I get to sleep with her too!

And you wonder why people "hate" on you.

Sorry to hear that R3d. I have a friend that I've known forever and we are starting to go our separate ways. Sometimes I just can't stand listening to all these goals he comes up with every other day and how he's gonna do this and that.

Red, I'm sorry to say, but if that ******* told you that his life 'is too complicated for you to be in it', he was never a friend in the first place. If I ever had one of my 'friends' tell me that, I'd say good riddance to them.

I have known my best friend for 10 years. She is a hypochondriac, she bitches a lot and tells me the same stories over and over, but I wouldn't have it any other way. When my mom died, she was my rock. She has been there for me through thick and thin. Even though she pisses me off sometimes and annoys the living **** out of me, I would NEVER turn my back on her. I could search the world a million times over and still not be able to find a friend like her. Like in a romatic relationship, in platonic relationships, you take the bad with the good as long as the good outweighs the bad.

It will be hard to make good friends, but you can. Trust me. I'm still young (23), but I only have 2 people that I consider to be good friends in my life. When I quit my old job, I thought I had made friends there. I called them and my calls weren't returned. I can't say I know what it's like to not have one single friend, but I do know what it's like to feel alienated from others who you thought were your friends.

Give yourself time to pick up the pieces and recover. You don't strike me an an emo "I feel sorry for myself" type of person. You seem like a cool, intelligent guy who has got himself together. You will make friends. Just be confident about it.

Yeah thats sux but i know how it feels too. I think thats usually how it gets tho as we all get older, i mean unless you got a barstool with your name on it somewhere, which aint me either. Once i got married, well female friends were basically taboo and most of my guys friends started dissapearing too. Once they know that you cant go to the club or bar on a whim anymore you pretty much dont get as many calls. I really only have like 1 good friend my boy JB but i dont talk to him on a regular basis, but when we do chill its like time never passed. Most of my other so called friends have either married also, kids, lockdown, dead, moved, whatever, so that starts to thin the herd also. I also noticed that once you are a family guy things sort of get weird when you hang out with the single party friends , cause now i can notice the immaturities in them and it sometimes annoys the hell out of me. idk my boy JB is prolly the only dude i know that will back me up in a fight, anyone else and im on my own in that situation, good thing ill fucken wingtsun someone. as far as bodies my brother is the tactical response unit
