Being asingle mother of 2 at 23 and wanting to get life back on the right track and go back to school to start a career its hard to find someone who will help me be my best or be there just to lend an ear, all I find is people with false intentions who are just after me for one thing or another. So how or where can you find a real support system or a true friend?

I don't mean to sound bitter but this the reality of life. People come into our lives because we fill a gap in their lives at that particular time. As hard as this may be your situation is not a single isolated incident there are alot of people including myself who have had their fair share of disappointments with friends.
I am not gonna preach to you but for me personally. I have grown and learnt to trust God and develop a relationship with him. To be honest with you........my moments of loneliness and emptiness have been few and far between as a result. Why don't you try him today?

Pick up a Bible. God is waiting and He is always there. If you want someone with skin on, you should try attending a small group at a local church. It's a great way to meet others, have encouragement and support, and most small groups are geared for particular needs a person has. At my church, there is a small group for people with addictions, another for mothers, another for women in their 20's, another for college students, and on and on. It's hard to go at first when you don't know anyone, but it's a great way to get the support you are looking for. If you are not a church-going person, then you can google "support groups" for whatever area you are in, or "singles groups" or something like that. Another thing you could try is to simply go to a college or university and talk to a career counselor there. Tell them what you want to do and ask them to point you in the right direction. Usually colleges also have resources available that can put you in touch with others you can connect with. Good luck to you!

Life is all about give and take. No-one does anything without reward or gain for themselves. So to find support or a real friend, you first have to be a real friend to them. If the person isn't good back to you you know they aren't good enough to be a friend. the most precious thing you can give to someone is your time, as you will never get it back again. Trust people, most of them are good at heart.

Good luck,
i havent had a close best friend since high school, and her and my bf took off together. The closest friends i have now live 4 hrs away at the least. Granted i can always talk to them, but having someone who can come over is needed.

I must say, I'm in the same predicament...I'm 29 and haven't had a "best friend" or even a really good friend in years. The friends I have are all flaky, and although my husband is my actual best friend, sometimes you need that female companion...I'd actually like to know the answer to your question myself! It gets harder to meet people when you get older unless you're a social butterfly/friend magnet, but even then, not all the people you meet will be a genuine soul.

In your heart, you don't need someone to bring out the real you. I'm always in your position,and when ever I feel that why I just do something that I enjoy doing, for example reading a book, listening to music, having a bath with candles and so on. just search your self

Start by praying. Ask Him to show His love to you through other people. Sometimes, having God in your life is all you need to feel complete. But once you develop and strengthen your relationship with your Creator, then everything will fall into place and you will find order in your life.
God bless =)

internet, I don't have any friends, almost been a year so afraid of being used that I'm not in any hurry to try again. I'm lonely but at least my giving nature isn't being abused anymore. In do time when I'm ready I'll have friends again that respect me as much as i do them and you too.

regrettably, your subject occurs very plenty to youthful females and in basic terms you are able to tell on your heart in the event that they are real acquaintances or no longer. They o.k. could desire to nonetheless be acquaintances, yet they are nearer to a minimum of one yet another than they are to you precise now. this is in no way hassle-free and it hurts. i could advise removing your self somewhat from the placement by utilising changing them with people who make you sense liked and enjoyed. this would not advise forget approximately them thoroughly, yet fairly seem for human beings to spend time with too. females tend to do extra suited in pairs fairly than in communities of three so think of of this as a becoming experience and be responsive to that it occurs to various females your age, so which you're advantageous to discover yet another buddy, one which will handle you besides as you handle her. stable l uck!
