I'm turning 27 this month. This whole 26th year has been as friendless as ever. Even if i get jobs, i don't make friends with anyone. I don't know how to make friends. Do many people in usa just end up like me???? or am i the only one. I can't make friends because i'm not good at speaking, i'm not social.. i'm quiet. And nobody likes that.

Actually, it's really interesting that 75% of the people in this country is considered to be extroverts and the 25% left is the introverts. I'm an introvert myself and I just HATE talking to strangers and meeting new people in general. However, it is expected in society to be really outgoing and friendly so it can be a little harder for people who are shy and need time to open up. I understand what you're going through. I agree that you should join a group or a club that has the same interests as you coz it would make it much easier to talk to people about topics that you are interested in. And if anything, I can be your friend too ^^

You probably won't end up friendless. If you want to talk to people try just saying hi occasionally asking them how things are going. You know, if someone invites you out for a drink or something except it. Maybe it would be a good idea to let them know that you're a bit timid. Try working up the courage to ask someone out to get a drink or something. Try something along the lines of: "Hi, i don't really know anyone, I'm a bit timid and i was wondering if you'd like to go to the movies with me when you have a free night." If you want you can email or IM me....we can talk and i can help you out with your problem.

Yes, unfortunately a lot of people end up without friends and never having experienced love. When they are lying on their deathbed, I’ll bet they think about all the chances they had and how they wish they lived differently.
If you want to live your life with fewer regrets, remember that your time here is limited. Imagine that you are going to be dead tomorrow. But then you are given a chance to live your last year over again. OK.
Now go do it! And this time do it right. When you meet someone, ask them about themselves. Find people that you admire and emulate them. Hold your head up when you walk and say hello to strangers. Complement people. Don’t worry if people think you are silly. That won’t be important at the end.
If you do a good job with your 27th year, maybe you’ll get another.

Hey, I'm 22 and friends yet. It can get depressing. Join some sort of club that will interest you (I did) at first you'll still be quiet, but after a while other people will start talking to you, and then you'll find yourself talking back. Slow process, but... who knows who may meet that special someone because of it.

I will be your friend...I think you should be more open with people...talk to them, even if you feel they will not speak back...makes you feel good inside when you talk to people that you dont know, a friend will come along one day...Friendless, NOT, you have friends on the net, and I am one of them... =)

You will have to be a little more outgoing to make friends, i recommend you do a course in people and communication or marketing it helps you to approach people and start a conversation, always know what you are going to say before your approach, a good smile is important. Making friends is not hard, you have to want to make friends.

Get a hobby or join some social club where people with similar interest to you would congregate. You will then meet people with whom to share your knowledge and interest in the subject and who knows you may even meet lots of people to befriend and/or a special lady to share your life with.

Seriously, you need some antidepressant medication. I used to feel the same way, until I realized my entire perception of reality was scewed from depression. When you feel like your describing about your own self, you create your own reality. Get in to see a doctor and ask for antidepressants. I swear, it entirely changed my life for the better in such a dramatic way. I never talked to people, didn't have one friend in four years of college. That was before the meds. After, WOW

there is a big difference in people that you may know and real good friends.you don't need to be good at speaking just be sincere.there is a lot of quiet people that have friends you will find somebody that like to be your friend .that is ok if you are not social,but don't push people away if they come to you.

Negotiating with devils in needless to say an unworthy corporation; it is going to basically invite added aggression. that's time for the folk of Palestine to launch themselves. I propose the Algerian conflict of Independence as a sort.
