Well I was. I went to college and didn't have any friends. My suggestion would be to take risks. Put yourself out there and talk to somebody new. There are people around you in the same boat who want to make new friends so don't be fearful!

I'm not in that boat,But if you need a Friend I'll be your Friend
There are all kinds of Friends! So called Friends,Good Friends, and True Friends. True Friends are hard to find. A True
Friend will be there for you when your down in out, A Good Friend is there when things are gone Good. Remember That!
Not many people have True Friends!

Tess,
You now have a friend. I am probably too old to relate well to you but I was a mathematics teacher for almost 30 years at High School and 18 at a Junior College. I should know a little about young people. If you would like to chat you are welcome to email me. I will NEVER ask for any personal information and will not share any with you either. I am a 31 year married Christian. We have three children and a grandson. We are not the typical Older Couple. We like to go out and have fun with the young'uns at each and every opportunity. My wife is out with her mother and sisters right now eating and shopping. She should be home soon. Are you married? Are you schooling/working? What are your favorite hobbies?
My family and I will be attending services in the morning, evening, and singing at a nursing home tomorrow. We will probably go out to eat with some of our family members prior to the singing. I will not be online until sometime late Sunday or early on Monday. Have a great evening and a wonderful Lord's Day!!

It happens to everyone at some point. Either because people change or life changes and takes you dfferent places but it certainly not anything to be sad or worry about..you're not alone in your boat. Making friends can be very simple if you step outside of your comfort zone and try new things, visit new places or find a social activity or sport to be a part of. I'm sure you're a great person and they are other great people out there that would love to be your friend. Now it's not gonna be simple because I'm sure you have tons of responsibilities and possibly a very hectic schedule but you have to schedule in time for you as it's important. Unless..you plan to be the crazy cat lady :)

a good friend is hard to find. today lots of people are fake. they'll act one way around you and then say a whole bunch of **** behind your back. i don't have many friends other than my close ones because i can't trust anyone else. my closest best friend is my sister (as lame as it sounds) because she has always been there for me and she is the only person i can trust completely. i have other best friends too but i know my sister will always be my best friend. to make friends can be hard. i think you just have to be open and be yourself and i'm sure people will like you. try new things. join a new club or get a job and you can easily meet new people who might turn out to be one of your best friends!
good luck hun! ♥

Hi, You know I've been a loner most of my life, I did not fit in school.
they always looked at me like I'm a weirdo, I'm not I'm just not interested in the things most of them were into.
I used to always joke " lonelyiness can become someone's companion" well, honestly I just said it to ease my pain really.
I had only one best friiend and we had an accident together and she passed away, I felt horrible afterwards, I feel very missunderstood and alone and I still do but you know something, for as long as we are given a breath to rise from our sleep, and god chose to give us yet another day, we are here for a purpose, I've got yet to find it.
I find it so hard to find the one that you can call a best friend. someone who got the time for you and is there for you in good and bad.
we are in the same boat.I feel you. Kepp your faith strong and know that you are not alone.
God bless, Pray for better days

I am in the people business. My work I see people, I talk with them. I am married and have children. All of my life I have had acquaintances and not so close friends. I find it as I age its harder to develop the same closeness. But its my own fault. I like my own space and I am always around others so when I am alone I really like it. It all depends on your lifestyle and your choices. If you are on your own then join classes friends will come dont you worry

Hang in there.
We have ALL been in this boat at one time or another.
In the meantime, see about becoming active in your Church (if you go) or think about doing some volunteer work. If none of those options appeal to you, see about taking up some 'for fun' college classes....photography, music lessons etc.
You will meet a class full of people that you have that hobby in common with before long you will have plenty of people in your life that share your same passion for some of your hobbies.
GOOD LUCK and hang in there
we have ALL been there

Good friends are hard to find. I've just moved to a new town with my husband and it is hard to get to know people. I am hoping that when we join the YMCA it will be easier to meet people. Maybe try to join a gym or learn something new like a dance class and you will get to know people and make some friends. Good luck to you!
