I have recently moved to another part of the UK. I have not, however, bothered letting my friends know where I am. The thing is I haven't missed my friends: most of which were selfish, free-loading, back-stabbing bitches, that would sleep with your boyfriend if he bought them dinner. I've got Cable TV, internet broadband, reality TV, a whole buch of soaps and a string of credit cards. Do I really need friends?

Fair enough, maybe you had some shady friends but that says' to me maybe your not the best judge of character. Perhaps that's something you should address.
Why did u end up with these kind of people in your life in the first place?..
Good friends are definitely worthwhile having for a whole Host of reasons... You can't ask your credit card for advice or cry on it's shoulder can you?
Also, what are you going to experience in this life sitting in front of your PC/TV...It's not a life... All that stuff is just distracting you from living.. For the people to scared to walk out in the world in case they won't be understood, or accepted etc etc... These things are meant to be past times... Everything in moderation honey...
Maybe your feeling like finding friends is a pointless endeavour because of your dodgy pals in the past. However, your in a new place away from all that. Why don't you draw a line under whats gone before and use this as a good time to start a fresh..
All this is said to you with respect.. That's what a friend does. Tells you what you might not want to hear, but, gives you enough to think about things in a different perspective...

Maybe you don't, maybe those friends weren't really friends from the sound of things. I moved away and left my life behind. I was a recluse for awhile, but then I got lonely. No, you do not need friends, but you might want them sometime. Truth is, with the internet you can have constructive interesting conversations with people who will never barge in on you or make demands of you. On the other hand, it is a bit difficult to have dinner and catch a movie with one of these people. Only you can decide if you need friends, and only time will tell.

i too am in the UK
and i wouldn't be without my friends who i have accumulated over time when living at different places
the important thing is that you don't need loads and loads of friends - just the right kind of friends. Once you find them then you WILL miss each other and stand by each other.
It sounded like you were well rid of that previous circle of acquaintances (yep i use that word rather than friends) but rather than isolate yourself I hope that you find some better people where you are now at.
(and BTW do you think Grace will be the one to go on Friday??)

For a time you will feel liberated and free, but after a while you might start missing some good friends of yours. Try to make some friends over there in the UK! Friends are always good to have, especially if they are actual, good, friends. Friends support you and cheer you up, and if you find the right friends, you will know that you need them. Good luck!

when 99% of all people out there are just out for themselves and/or for money , we only want to be with the 1% that are not.
We need genuine friendships. Those who are open to communication at first which builds trust and then someone who only wants us to be happy no matter what and they only want the very best for us as well. That is what really defines genuine friendship. It is a challenge to find, but worth every minute finding it.
Also, genuine friends will never ask for anything in return. Any material wants and needs they have for themselves,they can easily get for themselves with their own doing. Remember this.
We all need friendships in our lives. Yes, we can do without the selfish pricks and princesses that are out there.

I think I'm almost like you. Maybe u dont need friends now, but when ur in trouble, u wont have any friends to turn to, not even bad ones. Some bad friends will try to be there for u, even if they're bad. Most of my friends are terrible, kind of like urs. But I keep them because occasionally, u will get lonely or sad and u need someone to listen to u. Even if u cant trust them, who cares cuz u need someone to vent to. Everyone needs friends. Nobody wants to be lonely. Cable tv, internet, etc won't respond to ur sadness.

If youre a woman with self esteem, you need your girlfriends. A woman can live a happy life without a man, however a woman always needs her girlfriends.
Of course, if the people you call friends will do things to hurt you, maybe they are not really friends.

First to note they were you acquaintances not your friends.YOu od need a friend dear cause they are a source of hope and love if you ever find one,know you are blessed.SO you still got tolook for a friend cause you havent yet found one and avoid the company of bad pple the can frustrate you and make you depressed

Yes. I think you're definately onto something there Diane Mac. I personally think that true friends of the future will be virtual. The only snag being, of course, is that we would have to create them ourselves, to avoid being manipulated by something / someone we could not control.
