I Have No Friends | Why I Don't and How I've Learned to be Okay

I(30) never had a friend in my life. I always was mocked in my life, that I never made a friend. I was always interested in other people, but they didnt care. I even bought a birthday present for a person, I thought was my friend. He said, I should stop contacting him. I also never experienced Love. Every Girl rejected me. No hug, no kiss, no own family. Beside that I work in a dead end job. I always do overhours to meet end needs. But thats mostly not enough. I need to turn to alcohol or other drugs to deal with daily stress of poverty and social isolation. Any Advice?

May God bless you and be with you. I share this, is about Jesus. John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. Where can one start reading the Bible?

So many people nowadays can just be around for a while. When there's nothing to gain, they are away. It's so much better to feel alone. Sometimes I wish too to have some friends, but... then I remind that why having them is better? Do I want to be distracted or do I want to improve myself not to feel alone when alone?

I have no friends.I'm 22. Sometimes I think life isn't worth it. Always been lonely. Got no siblings, my mom sucks and my dad isn't often there....But that's all okay. Ultimately; it's okay. I'm healthy and privileged enough to waste time watching youtube videos :') ....So here it is: It's hard to trust people with your feelings, and that's probably why you don't let people in. You have to realize that, at some point, you have to take responsibility for what happens to you. If you feel that you are capable of being a good friend yourself, then you'll attract that. If you're insecure, and not trusting, you find yourself boring...then that's the kind of energy you attract. Start by wanting to be friends with yourself. Be nice to people regardless. You'll make friends when you're good and ready to let people in. Trust the process. So...yeah. Good luck girl!

[@leighharwood916]

Much depends upon your personality type. Extroverts can generally make friends a lot easier because they are naturally outgoing and sociable by nature. The world is pretty much set up to benefit individuals with an extroverted personality. Because we live in hyper connected times (i.e. social media, internet, etc) - society will naturally favor those who can communicate and interact with others more effectively. Extroverts are generally described as the "life of the party" and so society will favor such people as a consequence. Introverts, on the other hand, will find it much more difficult to make friends. Introverts are generally more reserved and quiet and prefer one-on-one interactions as opposed to being among a group of people. The ability to develop a friendship largely depends upon your personality and finding somebody with whom you can make a meaningful connection. If you can't connect with people - then you will remain friendless. This has always been my problem. Nobody wants to be seen as an 'object of pity' - but in the end - things are what they are!

It can seem like a mountain of fear to climb, to pick up thr phone to join, or turn up the first time to meet him/her/them, but the feeling of achievement, joy and sense of belonging, you get when you force yourself (yes it is hard and yes it might take a few tries) past "roadblocks" of fear, accumilated failed attempts/bad experiences of the past, possibly the sense of "being different", and possibly meet your "kindred spirit/spirits", is 100% worth it.

Don't feel bad. You're better off being content with you as your number one because people always come and go. I had a "ride or die" for 14 years and it was so easy for her to push me out of her life never looking back, all for a failed romantic relationship with a cheater. Sometimes I feel like you longing for that relationship, but then I remember how deep her betrayal cut me and I feel better off. I think siblings or cousins are your best option for such a relationship because blood is less likely to abandoned you. Stay strong fellow lone wolf! You're a tough ass chick and your lack of codependency makes you brave, fierce, and a fire much to hard to put out. When you can be content with you and take comfort within yourself... THAT'S POWER!!

[@emilyjoywellness]

I love this so much, thank you! 💙 I’ve definitely gained a great relationship with myself especially in the past few years and I’m happy for that chance and not relying on being dependent on another person. I do have some cousins I’m close to that I’m definitely grateful for!

I just share is about Jesus. May God bless you. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, [h]let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘[i]From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me.

I’m the opposite of an empath. When people get emotional I don’t care and leave them cause they’re so damn annoying. The closest thing I ever had to friends was a group of kids I’d sit with at lunch during high school and primary school but I never talked to them. I never even sat with anyone at college though. I tried to make friends in freshman year but it didn’t work out. I was way too awkward. I resent humanity now and don’t want friends anymore because I hate people in general yet I am desperate for connection. I originally wanted to become an engineer because I wanted to save the world with designing green energy technologies. Now I realize the world isn’t worth saving. If the entire world was uninhabitable in 100 years I could care less. I’m just going to follow the money.

From a psychologists stand point it doesn't seem like anythings wrong with you, As someone that struggled with loneness all of my childhood I can assure you that you are not alone. What I noticed is you're too hard on yourself and assume that everyone will shut you down. Now more than ever do people need engagement with other people anyway possible. You mentioned that your other friends already had their best friends. Don't be afraid to call them up and ask if you can all hangout sometime. You never know, you might connect with them more. Don't give up, you're a beautiful young women and know you can do this. Good luck :)

[@leighharwood916]

Psychologist 'Carl Jung' sheds some light with respect to this question. He argues that each person seems to be energized more by either the external world (extroversion) or the inner world (introversion). The introvert, according to 'Jung', is more comfortable with the inner world of thoughts and feelings, so they will see the world in terms of how it affects them. Extroverts, on the other hand, feel more at home with the world of objects and other people and are more concerned with their impact upon the world. Introverts are more comfortable living alone and being by themselves. They depend on their "me time" to recharge: they become immersed in their inner world and run the risk of losing touch with their surroundings or their outer world. Extroverts, on the contrary, are actively involved in the world of people and things. They are socially active and more aware of what is going on around them. They like to be parts of groups, communities and societies, where they get a chance to interact.. The idea of being alone terrifies them, leaving them alienated from their inner selves. 'Jung' was an intellectual powerhouse. He stated "If you take an extrovert you will find his unconscious has an introverted quality, because all the extroverted qualities are played out in his consciousness and the introverted are left in the unconscious"

I’ve been struggling with having no friends for awhile now and lately it’s been really heavy knowing I truly don’t have anyone. I was home schooled as well and I was socialized and had friends growing up, but all of those childhood and young teenage friends have all moved on with their lives. I stoped talking to my best friend two and a half years ago and since then I really haven’t had anyone. I feel like all I do is work, eat, sleep and repeat. Like today is my day off and I’ve sat around the house thinking about how I wish I had somebody to just talk to. I enjoyed your video because it reminded me we’re not all alone in feeling alone.

It’s ok to not have friends. I used to be the type of friend who would wake up at 3am to help you. I used to run into guys who would always want help and never do anything in return. My wife and I dumped a lot of fake friends the last few years. For years we would support their kids magazine sales or what ever business they owned. The one time we asked for help only one person stepped up. I have one good friend but he is not a super close friend. I had a neighbor last year become a good friend. I would message him a week ahead and the day off our plans. He would cancel last minute. I went to a party and saw him hanging out with a new neighbor behind my house. Come to find out this new neighbor was his best new friend. The wife apologized to me about it. This one I took very hard. We did not have much in common. But we got alone really well and had the same upbringing. I never said anything rude or bad. It’s rare for friends to last forever. Most of my wife’s college friends for about 10 years we would hang out. They all eventually dropped off and got different friends. Its sucks. But I am better off alone. I am tired of the hurt.

I've been told I'm unapproachable because I'm too deep. To me, that's stating that I'm not shallow. I take that as a compliment. Unfortunately people do not take the time to consider that having depth also means you have compassion and empathy. Those who refuse to make an effort to understand and know you are those who remain committed to conforming to a superficial society. I consider myself a person who is willing to stand in your corner , but you have to be willing to let me in the door first. I'll knock but I'm more than willing to keep going if it's locked.

[@jeshuarestituyo284]

That's exactly how I feel too, I'm a very talkative person and love making connections but people are to shallow or can't even hold a 1 minute conversation both in real life and text. Sometimes it made me feel quite depressed but nowadays I just brush it off. It's actually better to not deal with people like which funnily there's a lot, I just do my thing, practice some mindfulness and keep moving forward. Interestingly enough those people who I have come across are not advancing much in their life though they want to keep showing they have a the insta perfect type of life but in reality is not perfect.

[@JT-gm4fk]

@@jeshuarestituyo284 yes...having a meaningful conversation with people is challenging. Social media (Facebook in particular) is very antisocial.

However, that is never reciprocated by others. It gets tough, at times lonely but I have to remember that I cannot be the one making all the effort. It gets tiring....so I definitely feel where you are coming from.

There is nothing wrong with that because some people are born deep and super sensitive. It is the non confirmist and outliers that take the society forward and not the majority of the confirming masses. Everyone has a role to play in the scheme of nature. Nature does not confer its best qualities without exacting a price. In the general the price for being different is lonliness and sometimes it can be hard because a human being is a social animal. At the end of the day we have to be ourselves to be comfortable.

Same for me. I literally have 0 friends. Not even a boyfriend. It’s really embarrassing sometimes when my parents are like “why don’t you hang out with ____?” Like I have no friends who am I supposed to hang out with? I have a few acquaintances that I see like twice a year. A lot of the friends I used to have also got married, had kids and that changes A LOT because they rarely have time and if they have time for you it always has to be planned, there’s a time limit and the kids are there as well. You can’t just spontaneously do something with that person anymore which sucks. I feel very very lonely most of the time and cry myself to sleep like 5 times a week because I have nobody to talk to or do things with. It’s been like this for so many years I don’t even know what it’s like to have friends or hang out with others. The holidays and New Year’s Eve are especially hard for me because that’s when you’re supposed to hang out with friends and go to parties and stuff like that. I even lied about it to my therapist. She asked me if I have a support system, if I have any friends and I said yes because I was too embarrassed to admit that I literally spend all my time alone and never speak to anyone.

The only friend I was still in contact with from way back in high school has now ignored me since last year (he has his own life going on) and the only women I have been able to date (like 3 my whole life) all get disinterested once they find out how im a recluse and have no friends.. yeah its rough.

I have formed many friendships to find out down the way the “friends” wanted something. It’s like many people don’t know the value of friendship because their own goal in life is having a family.

I might get judged and people might feel sympathy for me, but I don't care because I know I am a happy person who just wants to be alone.

[@sass08]

I’m only just seeing this video now, but I wanted to thank you for being so open and vulnerable. Know that you are absolutely NOT alone in feeling this way. I wish that all of us lonely people could meet and be friends ❤️

[@lifeistricky3185]

I bet you know the feeling of wanting to go out and socialize more but when you actually do, you realize very quickly that you're not having fun, and that you'd much rather be at home right now because people bore you and you can't connect... I think ut's important to acknowledge that socializing and having friends does not equal more joy or happiness! There are so many people trapped in toxic friendships that pull them down emotionally, and still they hold on to them... everything has ups and downs... maybe we have to choose the lesser of the two evils - which ever that may be individually

[@demitakesvideos]

I watched many vids like this today. Im happy to be in this side of youtube. I feel this way too today and i am comforted that there are many out there who are feeling the same way too. I hope all of us at some point to have safe people in our lives.

[@tracy3364]

Sometimes having a friend that knows everything about you can be great but when you fall out it can be awful because you know that secret stuff is being spread..ive been burnt like that so it's hard to trust someone I'm an introvert and find it hard to put myself out there I like being by myself most of the time...

People will usually want to be "friends" with you once there is a NEED of some sort. (money, support, common goal, activity of any kind) Once the NEED is gone, those same people will be gone just as fast. I'm 41 and I've learned this in the past 20 years.

[@Saskidan]

Thanks for sharing. I was feeling really rough.. came across your video and listening/reading the comments brings me some comfort that I'm not the only one suffering. I just turned 39 and since lockdowns hit I've lost a lot of acquaintances, friends and family. Old friends who are in favor of government control and chastised me for wanting the mandates to end. My family has always been dysfunctional and my older brother treated me like garbage throughout my youth. I was shorter/skinny as a child and picked on a lot which I still have bad dreams about. I've had "friends" who've stole from me, literally stabbed me in my own backyard and turned on me when I've been nothing but supportive. My mom was abused as a child and came from a home where my grandpa was a demon in human form. She would go from being sweet one minute to hating your guts the next so I stopped talking to her. It was one of the hardest things I've had to do. No close friends either and it's so hard to make any. I fill the void with getting exercise, playing video games, watching shows/movies and smoking weed which helps with the depression. I'm active and eat well at least, also got 2 cats to care for. That's definitely kept me going. I guess I should count my blessings and realize things could be worse, at least I'm not living in slums or in a gulag being worked to death 🤞

[@Aesthetic_leen]

No matter how much I try to make friends or be good to them, they ghost me for no reason. They stop talking to me... Believe me dear u said everything that was embedded in my heart.. each and every word resonated.. U have ur boyfriend and doggo.. but my doggo has bitten me several times.. I love my dog like anything but sometimes I feel my dog also doesn't love me.. it breaks my heart, that nobody wants to be with me ..... I see people having a birthday party with lots of friends. And literally no one comes to my birthday. Sometimes people do not even wish me😭😭

[@twixie__5651]

I am 31 now. I find it difficult to find true friends. I tried to connect with people even schoolmates but they tend to be envious and likes to make unnecessary drama and gossip... i hate having to even hear them badmouthing each other, etc. People who have real friends that are supportive are lucky. But when i turned 29, i learned to detach myself from people. I only try to talk to them when they talk to me. I rarely go on socialmedia also so I don’t have to be obligated to like their posts since i have some friends or acquaintances who expect you to like their photos on ig just because they saw you online or it will be drama. Yes, that pathetic like highschool kids...😕 i love my dog, my own company, my family and my bf. I still consider a few people my friends but not close friends that i can trust much and talk in a deeper level. Many people are toxic and their presence is exhausting. So im glad to know that i am not the only one who feels this way.

[@patrickegry4237]

I feel exactly the same way about people in general, they don't know how to act like mature people and it just bothers me. I am also very lucky to have found a pair of really good friends in school despite this, and my family has always been there for me when I needed them the most. But it's always been a struggle for me to get out into groups and socialize, everyone just seems to become something else than themselves and it is bothering and sad at the same time. I just hope one day I meet a group of people that are just like me. Like they say in my country: "The one who searches, finds".

[@pennyc7064]

Thank you for sharing. I can totally relate to your feelings about connecting with people. I prefer to have meaningful conversations with people rather than superficial ones so maybe I have high expectations of people in order to call them friends.

Trust me it’s a global problem and it’s seems that no one has a solution for it, even great people, who had done incredible things to make humans life better, were going through the same problem. Its a price that we need to live with but it’s also a gift to do better things. Just remember that what ever you are looking, its also looking for you. And I truly admire your courage to post this video regardless of how other people may think. I wish you all the best and we are all in this together.

May God bless you and be with you. I share this, is about Jesus. John 14: 21 He who has My (Jesus) commandments and keeps them is the one who loves Me; and he who loves Me will be loved by My Father, and I will love him and will disclose Myself to him.” 22 Judas (not Iscariot) *said to Him, “Lord, what then has happened that You are going to disclose Yourself to us and not to the world?” 23 Jesus answered and said to him, “If anyone loves Me, he will keep My word; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our abode with him. 24 He who does not love Me does not keep My words; and the word which you hear is not Mine, but the Father’s who sent Me. John 7: 37 Now on the last day, the great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried out, saying, “If anyone is thirsty, let him come to Me and drink. 38 The one who believes in Me, as the Scripture said, ‘From his innermost being will flow rivers of living water.’” 39 But this He said in reference to the Spirit, whom those who believed in Him were to receive; for the Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

[@KS-kr4ok]

I had a best friend for years. Then she married a horrid little shit. She allowed him to brain wash her. She started saying racist things that I never knew she felt. So I decided to find a new friend. Yes it takes time. It can be done. Just volunteer or join a club, be gracious and not a gossip. A friendship will grow. It did for me.

[@Ruby_2470]

I needed this. I’m in an awful situation with my partner, he is very controlling and cold/shut off. I can’t drive, no socials, I don’t even remember the last time I’ve been anywhere alone. I don’t leave the house, at all, for that matter. Definitely no friends or family, I don’t have parents. I’m alone all day and lately I’ve been struggling with it, bad. I’m so alone, I have my dog and me. It’s hard, I cry a lot and it’s become so bad I find myself just staring at walls for blocks of time or literally walking in circles for no reason. I just started your video but thank you for sharing this. It’s not easy being so alone. 😔 *edit* I just got to the part About your dog and that I can relate to! My lucky is my world💙

[@KingXno]

I can relate to a lot of the things she was talking about. When I was a kid, I was in a big friend group. We did almost everything together. But we drifted apart as we got older, mainly because of how different I was compared to them. Middle school and high school made me feel like I was stuck on an inhabited island. But I had ways to comfort myself and help push through. Eventually when I became old enough, I started confronting these demons and really began to work on myself more. I can say that I’ve come far, I’m still an introvert and everything, but I’m getting better at being social with others. Now I don’t have a “best friend.” But I do have some good friends/companions that I talk to on a daily basis.

[@HankRearden84]

Having run the existential hamster wheel when I was in my 20's and early 30's, I can say now with relative certainty that I prefer being alone.

[@amazonadireitistaearmada7722]

Me too. Im 42 and I have a kid. And my dogs. Been married twice - both were over for good reasons. I am not a negative person at all but I am starting to accept that nowadays it’s more likely you will eventually get hurt. For what? You know? Also, as I have been divorced for a year now, I have also reflected on how people I thought were friends when I was younger, were not. Seems like there is always some interest attached, I really do think it’s harder to find people who will want to be around simply because of who we truly are.

[@Bhabna10]

I'm 27 and I've been feeling desperate about "finding my tribe". Most people I meet end up being fake or misunderstand me and don't give me a chance to open up, because I take time... they mostly get put off by how reserved, polite and quiet I am. I have a great dad, a great sister, a great boyfriend, a great best friend, so I feel like I shouldn't complain - but most of my relationships are very mature, serious ones. I wish I had acquaintances from work, or college, anybody that shares common daily life stuff with me, but I can't seem to gel organically to just go on a bender after work, share laughs...just be part of a group....I feel like I'll never have that, and feel envious of people who easily make friends, and their experiences. I try to be okay with it but I can't seem to stop feeling this crippling loneliness

[@creativeperspectives2712]

I am really amazed that people feel lonely inspite of having a boyfriend and a best friend. I have a lot of friends but do not have a girl friend or a significant relationship. Also I feel that one relationship may not be able to absord the entire gamut or the range of our personality so probably you are right in your feelings. I have a daughter of your age who does not talk to me but luckily I have a lot of friends and a busy professional life. I have not see her in two decades but I could never become ready to meet her.

[@Voicingspy]

Not sure about anyone else, but Something that pisses me off is when someone says they have no friends, yet they hang out with a bunch of people all the time. It SUCKS when you ACTUALLY don’t have any friends. I isolate myself, I don’t talk to people, and I get extremely lonely. I’ve never been invited to a high school party, never been in a high school relationship, and that hurts to realize that. In most of elementary school, I would spend recess alone. I finally got close to some people in my class in 7th grade and hung out with them, until one of them cut me off in the early stages of 11th grade and started spreading shit about me, to the point where everyone believes it. Now I’m 17, in grade 12. I’m alone, depressed, and socially anxious. I can’t talk to anyone because of it and feeling lonely all the time sucks. Thinking that I’ll probably just be alone for the rest of my life SUCKS. But I have to try to keep moving on. Hopefully something changes for me in the future.

[@twinklesailhorse]

High school is such an insignificant blip in a person’s life. Keep a positive attitude, finish school, get out into the real world and give yourself a chance. Don’t give up on life or think you won’t ever have friends. Be a caring person, be open and honest and as an adult you will develop relationships at college, if you chose to go, at work, living out on your own. Just think ahead to the kind of life you’d like to lead, the friendships you’d like to have and believe it will happen. High school is nothing, meaningless, the people who are spreading rumors are nothing and not worth your time or emotions. You have a whole life ahead to make what you want it to be.

[@victoriahanke3868]

Actually some humans claim to be a friend but in any crisis they vanish! So, do real friends exist? It feels like people are wary these days to get involved too deeply. I think you are a real sweetie and will pray you find a forever friend! Hang in there sweetie. Life gets better with time. Chin up buttercup.

I know the feeling! I hate texting people first, as most of the time I seldom ever get a response. Imagine reaching out to 3-5 different people and not one of them gets back to you? It really gets disheartening after a while. Unfortunately I don’t have any pets or a romantic partner either. Not having pets or a romantic partner makes it even more difficult. The last time I had a best friend, I was 16 years old. She was my best friend for 10 years. We were good friends from ages 7-17. I have not had a best friend in 11 years. This best friend and I grew apart as she has changed and she is not the same person as when I first knew her.

Hello Emily, this is the first video I watched of your channel and that is because I actually searched on yourtube "I have no friends" and your video came up. Even though it is an old video in your channel I decided to leave my comment because I can relate so much with what you said. I think you are very brave and bold of you to film this video and put out there. I personally have a boyfriend who is my best friend but it is not the same as having a girlfriend. I have some friends like you describe, I m very thankful too to have them and I think they are awesome, but as you said they already have their "ride or die". So that feeling of not want to bother and text them first and ask them how they've been or ask them to go out, I have it too. I am actually 25 too and even though I live in Greece I can relate to the feeling you've described pretty well, as I also have reaserced and became part of social groups. Plus, now in this difficult times of covid-19 I am far away from my family (cause I work in another city than that, that I was born) and it gets much worse. I guess I m trying to say that this video hit right through my ❤️. I hope you are staying healthy and safe. Thank you for being so honest we need people like you who present their truth.
