when i look back on my life why is it i only see aquaintences never any real friends. mabye with my first wife but spouses don't count. i'd love to have a friend that i could just call up and go to coffee with or hang out at their house or have them over here.

even here on DS i just sorta lurk around in the shadows and chat on the threads but never someone i can talk with everyday and share how my day goes. it just seems eaiser to be alone with myself

That is the bane of my existence as well. I think I have accepted it.

It is easier but not as much fun. Go out there and chew someone's ear off.

I lost most of my good friends thru the years as I progressively got worse, shutting myself in, reaching out less. Less phone calls, etc till no contact. I basically have aquaintences at work.

I have 2 very close long-time friends. We are always there for each other and luckily usually only one of is in a needy position at a time. I lost what I thought was a very good friend when I got sick. She just stopped calling me because at that time I had manic motormouth and I was in pure misery and she couldn't handle it. And she was a psych major/masters. So , You just never know about people.

Hey I lost all my friends by shutting them out the only ones I have left is my boyfriend of 4 years and my Family. I find it hard to find friends because of trust issues.

I only have my hubby, sis and one friend.

My husband has a ton of friends that he is close to and I feel so jealous sometimes.

I guess I just made bad choices in picking friends. I I only talk to one of my five bridesmaids and I've been married 7 years.

Where do you live? I would love to meet for coffee.

i push people away, or move on..i find my lack of consistency embarrassing..its easier to turn off - anyway my current condition is life consuming and i hate banging on about it, let alone to them...and as i only managed to start getting out of the house 5 months ago (on occasion) i got nothing to talk about..except of course breakfast TV..see why i dont bother!
