Hi everyone...

I am new here and I don't have friends yet. Not even in real life.. I feel like the people I used to call "my friends" now don't even look at me, even when I start to have a conversation they always find an excuse to go away..

I feel really lonely. I don't have anyone to talk to or to go out with. I used to have many online friends but even these I managed to pull away and I don't know why..

Just hoping I can work on this and eventually make some friends.. :)

Hi, you'll find that people on here are wonderful, and very open to talk about anything. What things do you do right now? I mean like school, work, boyfriends? I read your profile and have a question (hope you don't mind). Why do you consider yourself an orphan? That's sad

Hugs, D

Thanks a lot for your warm welcoming guys, I hope to find many great friends in here..

About your questions DonnaMD well..I am not in school anymore, I currently am between jobs I manage to work my way to get my bills paid. I don't have any friends or a boyfriend actually, never really had..

About being an orphan is quite simple really, my dad died from cancer in 2008 and when he fell sick, my mom abandoned us (my dad, me and my 3 younger brothers) .. so I just don't consider her a mother anymore after what she did.. if you would like to hear about it more feel free to friend me :)

I have learned that making friends is like an equation,,,opportunity+frequency+interaction= new and lasting friends..each one of these can vary by any situation independently,,
