Answer 2

In life the most friends that you can expect to have at any given moment is 1-5. Yes, that is it. Hard to believe, but that is what happens.

Don't feel upset or anything. The internet has many new places where you can find an interest and join up and start a conversation with someone.

The best way to find new interests is to dig deep within yourself and find out what it is about yourself that you value the most and the most in others. then find a interest group that reponds or reflects that and enjoy the moment when you meet up with others who share your point of view.

As an example, i very much want and respect people who have a good balance of people smarts, life smarts, and book smarts. I have found that scuba divers are the best types of people ;that fit this requirement because they understand and want it as well in others. Scuba diving is also a favorite hobby and sport of mine so the two go hand in hand with each other. It is a fun way to meet others too in this respect.

It doesn't matter if it's only one friend, it is the quality of that friendship that matters. I used to have lots of friends myself, but you find they disappoint you and let you down. Never tell anyone anything in confidence, no-one can keep a secret, believe me! Then once in a while, along comes that special friend. Who never says I told you so.Supports you in whatever you try to do. Never hurts you, but will advise you if asked, and would stick by you through thick and thin, and finally, most importantly, would never betray you even at her own expense. This is what you need most of all. Together, could you go and look for some "mates" or aquaintances to get a social life going? Look in your local paper and perhaps be prepared to travel a bit further afield together to join in with something you both enjoy? You will find what what you are looking for eventually I know you will, as you have had the courage and interest to ask this question, and I wish you really good luck in your quest!!

Answer 4

As other people saud on here its better to have 1 true friend than 100s of people who dont give a damm! I only have a small circle of friensds but i know there all TRUE friends and would be there for me if i needed them. Seen too many people screwed over in the past! Why dont you join a club online or in your town if your looking for new friends?

Answer 5

Maybe you can start a club where you live if you are interested, perhaps one at school
It is good to have a lot of associates and know people in general
But, if your one friend is true to you then you shouldn't worry
You might end up becoming close friends with others
Be grateful with your one friend some people do not have Any!!!!!

Answer 6

Of course not.. there's not many epople can say they have very many true friends. Try and find things that you enjoy or you might like might to try. Have an open mind with everything and the more your involved with the wider range of people you'll meet and who knows where that might lead.

Answer 7

I don't really have any friends. I speak to people when I'm out with my dogs and there is one person I often walk with so I suppose she's sort of my friend but dog walking is as far as it goes. We don't see each other or go round each others houses. I prefer my dogs to people anyway. I'm such a saddo!

Answer 8

Friends are hard work, all that having to remember birthdays, interest, hobbies etc.

Life's much simpler without them and it leaves more time for the important things in life.

Answer 9

no...you are not the only one.
but now listen please. if you will notice. this person is a friend to you and you to this person because of what it is you share together....of your values and time.
many many people have no friends....these people are reclusive-like and do not mingle well with other people. and this occurs due to fears which the person has and/or (but usually both) the values of self and environment which the person wishes to preserve.

these types of people are increasing because of the social environs which have been contaminated by the fearfull and power-reaching........so many people decide not to involve their selves in social activities because of what is disingenuous for them about the experiences they rely on for self-preservation.

for some.....quantity of acquaintance is more valueable....these are popularists and bring un/known intention to social gatherings but may ignore realities which will fly up in their purpose regularly.

and their purpose be social esteem of self.

but their be other people whom prefer quality of friends....these types know or feel what it is they value of their self and environment and generally onld permit entrance to a very few because of similar recognitions.

but..........all people all people.

this is 99.99555 % accurate (or somesuch astronomical figure). however...conditions of allowance for to be considered a friendship is ever changing with each new or old acquaintance and with each new or sustaining personal/social objective(purpose).

no person of wealth becomes rich except by the labors of others.
and the wealthy person may have many many friends but this is so because of how the persons exchange values for social maintenance. a person of wealth may not permit one of his/her subordinates of social worth to enter into many of the wealthy individuals circles or relationships...and this is so because the values of each are considered to be different. so....conditions of friendship changes with each purpose and value.

so......be easy on yourself....

the notion that you readily admit to having only one friend is by expression the admission that you have a value(s) set which is more or less known and articulated. but that it is not yet fostered among those whom may also be your friends due to similar values and purpose. otherwise.....you may would have many many more.......friends or acquaintances

and know this as actual truth. ....... the one motive of all people is acceptance...but that this includes both personal acceptance and social acceptance....and may be upon your mind as one or the other for some now or other time and event . ... and as you now speak that you wish to find similar minded and valued persons to increase your social circle.

well....know what it is you value and how to say this to others without getting your intentions caught up in their fear set. for.... many a potential friendship has been brought to ruins by the prejudices and fears which are already meshed into the fabric of personal and social realization.

be well.....from one new friend (with conditions of course...but unconditional love otherwise.)

...

please note...one liner before near last paragraph should read.
'all people need people' ...and not read 'all people all people'.
thank you.

Answer 10

one true friend is worth a lot more than many acquaintances or so called friends....so be thankful for the friend you have and just be your self and you will make more friends in your lifetime...
