No interest in friends?

Post Reply New Topic

I now feel no connection at all to my friends. I used to like them but then they ignored me and now when i spend time with them again, they just seem like the most boring people ever?

Very well, you don't need them.

Try to get into their interests a little bit.

I don't think you are "selling out" if you get into what other people are interested in.

Then, when you get home, pursue your "special interests."

If you don't want to be around people certain anymore there is nothing wrong with that, sometimes we outgrow people.

I find my friends boring too a lot of the time, but given how hard it is to make friends in the first place, I just put up with the boredom for the sake of actually having a friend. Maybe try to do activities with them that you enjoy - movies, sports etc, instead of just "hanging out"?

I am not good with connecting with people on deeper levels, past the learned and rehearsed social interactions. So, I only have a couple friends, and really only 1 person I can call an actual friend who would come at my time of need.
But I am even bored with him, I just try my best to take part in his interests and then do my own thing when I'm alone. It's just nice to have someone to do activities with sometimes, that's the main thing for me.
But I do feel like I want friends and envy people with lots of friends, but I just don't "get it." I feel like I'm just observing them without fully understanding how they are connecting. And in the end, I realize that I just prefer to be alone...

Life would be boring without friends.

I find friends to be a distraction. I have a family and get too much social interaction in the workplace. For that reason, the idea of having friends doesn't occur to me. I do not want friends. They have to be spoken to, I would have to display that I care for them and generally pay attention. Why would I do that? This may sound really negative and anti-social but its just facts. I have so many things to fill my life (those special interests) and friends do not come into the equation whatsoever.

me too. I have no interest in friends
but as long as they have same interest with me, i think we could talk, no matter who they are, sometimes it's really fun that i'm about 'hyper'
but i easily lost interest, so i forget people many times

Always try to have one friend to talk to. You don't really need a ton of friends!
