People rarely believe me when I say that I have no friends.

Good friends I used to have all moved far away, immediately after graduation. Some went into the military, others went off to college and ended up getting married, having kids, careers, etc. That's just life. People drift apart.

I don't have any friends at all. I haven't for a long time. I have some acquaintances, but that's as far as it goes. I don't have anyone I can call up and chit chat or hang out with or anything like that. It's very difficult to meet new people.

Why is this so difficult for people to believe? Is it that unusual?

To be quite honest with you, I do believe you. Like you the friends that I did have in school moved away. I didn't have a lot of them to begin with, as I went to seven different schools due to my parents divorce, remarrying and moving around when I was living at home. I am not an outgoing person and now being a stay at home mom for the last year, I really am not meeting any one. I have turned to my family (mainly my mom and one sister in law that doesn't live far away) and those are the people that I talk to and hang out with. I have become more active in my church but still am having difficulties meeting people, especially my age. So I guess that I don't find it hard to believe that you have no one that you consider a friend, as far as it being unusual, I don't know, but you have at least one other person that you know of that is in the same boat you are. Best of luck to you.

I believe you and its not unsual. My real friends are people who I have known since middle school and I know that one day they are going to move away or I am going to move out of state and I wont have any friends. I think that the reason behind this is it is hard to find a real friend. I also dont think you want to deal with the crap of making a new friend you want someone who already knows all about you. Hell once you get married your wife and kids will be your life and you will get into that swing of things

you still have them and even though you don't keep in touch and they moved away, they are still your friends deep down inside. Almost all of my friends live in totally different states but i still know that they are there no matter what.
