So i just realized i got 0 IRL friends, the ones i considered best friends should not be considered that way at all. Whenever i dissapear or w/e for weeks or a month, the only one who actually takes effort to make contact is me, for 5 years the only reason they have called is because they have a missed called from me, so i just realized they can't be considered friends all to much :O

That's.. sad

It's pretty much the same for me. My "friends" only call me when they need / want something from me (or when they want to make a prank call and play porn to the phone). None of them would care if I went missing for weeks or months.

*sigh* "staring down the barrel of a 45"

Bad joke. You can do better.

I've found that I'm too busy for most social interaction these days, and my so-called "friends" are also. Not too concerned about it ... like I said, I'm busy, like 20 hours a day, 7 days a week. Definition of "friend" is also important ... I know people from 20 and 30 years ago that are still friends, but we don't get together much, sometimes for five or ten years now. We all got lives that consume us.

What you are and who you are isn't measured by your friends. Do what you want to do, what you enjoy doing ... and have pride to do it with a clue. You'll find yourself surrounded by other people into the same things. Life is about moving forward, including meeting new people, instead of stagnating with the same old crowd forever.

Besides, you're on teh 'Netz. You'll be glad that you're out of touch with people while it's still possible. Within 10 years everyone you every knew will be in your computer and you won't be able to hide.

Social interaction is highly over-rated, anyway. Most people use it as a drug to piss their lives away because they don't know what to do with themselves. Those sorts bore the fuck out of me.

I've only got one real life friend, or best friend. We hang out on the weekends. Everyone else I decided not to keep in touch or they decided not to keep in touch.

I have dropped 3 or 4 sets of friends and havn't tried to make any new ones after dropping the last ones (which were nice and I liked, also shared interests). I simply can't bother with the upkeep of friendship, not even in easy online ones. It is a failing that I consider time spent chatting with people on a shared schedule to be a drain instead of a recreation (I include my biological family here as well).

If you do want friends then you have to consider which type you want. Online ones that share your interests exactly. Offline ones in kind of the same sphere. A special type of friend offline or online and so on. Then figure out where you can meet people like that and prepare to be disappointed until you hit it off after a while.

Friends are over rated. Aside from "drinking buddies" I only have 2 real friends (as in I can count on them for things when I an in need and we hang out doing things other then sitting at the bars.) Not counting the ones who have died. I often find myself more content by myself anyway, but its nice to have people to call when you wanna get out of the house, playing some golf or going fishing is pretty boring alone.

Anyway- As you get older, friends grow apart and become less important to enjoying your time. If you really need friends then get into some social activities. They aren't going to come to you, just like girlfriends. You gotta make an effort also.

Are you really worried about friends? Friends are people who always want to do something that requires money. Don't be discouraged by not having any friends. Just be friendly and personable with everyone that's around you (assuming you go out in public). BTW, you are lucky... having people call you all the time is a bitch. I would actually prefer NOT to have a cell phone, but that would be too weird for some people around me.

Just don't get caught up in that fact... just go with the flow.

We are in an era where friends bring more trouble than good i'm afraid, the gambit pileups where endless.

i dunno i only have one friend who has ever brought trouble and he gets me out of just as much trouble as he causes.

But then again most of my friends wouldnt call and say hey its been a while since i seen you, since thats typically not something men do.

They just assume im doing other shit, and would shoot texts or shit my way when stuff comes up or cool shit is goin down

Friends, define them.

People who you hang out with?
People whom you'd kill for?
People whom you wouldn't kill?

Ive been alone almost all my life, i used to absolutely love it, and didnt ever give a shit about others. But then which i honestly no offence to everyone must say, i got a girlfriend and lots of friends started to circle around me, and now whenever i get left out which i do extremely often for the past 2 years, i can't help but wish that my girlfriend was a plastic doll and that the only place i would "meet up" with friends would be online.

Funny how that when you don't know what it's like to have this and that you could never be more happy, but once you have had it, you just can't go back to those distant and absolutely wonderful days.

It's how I live my life. I don't have close people that I call friends... instead... I'm friendly with everyone when I'm out in public. Who knows? I might actually meet someone I really like and BAM... I have a person I want to call a friend (instead of them being a friend by default). The way I live my life is that I don't have to remember anyone's god damn name, I don't have to remember a bunch of birthdays, and if I upset someone from something I said, they don't have my phone number to call and complain!

Yes, friends are overrated and people suck in general. You do you... do what you want to do... and don't be dictated by anyone else. Being an individual gives you more spotlight then being part of the "herd." (Another reason why Cole Phelps hates the homeless)

Find people who are the same race and make them your friend, more get together that way!
