I've noticed something here that is really bothering me...

Post Reply New Topic

I can not believe that so many people here are trying to make everyone think That friends are not important...

HERE"S THE HONEST TRUTH!! !

A TRUE FRIEND IS THE ONE THING EVERY PERSON NEEDS MOST!! !

the reasons are as follows...

1... if you don't have friends then you will not enjoy your life as much as you should.
2... without friends people can become increasinly depreased.
3... you will get lonely sooner or later!! !
4... if you feel like no one will be or friend... you may have a risk of hurting yourself becuase of feeling lonely...
5... a lonely person who no one seems to care about has a risk of suicide...
I rarely use that word... but it is important that this is understood.

I KNOW THIS FROM MY OWN EXPREINCE!! !! I haven't actually hurt myself to much... but have felt so lonely that I've thought about it!! !

BOTTOM LINE.... WE ALL NEED FRIENDS!! !! !

I think just because it can be so draining to socialize with anyone for some people, that their need for friendship is less than their need for quiet. Personally I love my friends. I only have a few that I don't have to exhaust myself in order to keep up with emotionally. If I had to work as hard as I do with most people with the friends I have, I don't think I would have any true friends.

I don't like socializing,it makes me nervous. I like to have alone time. Besides,everytime I try to talk to someone they make fun of me.

If you think you will always be happy being alone then take a look at this....

when i was younger (elementary school i think) i often wanted to be alone and would not socailize much if at all...
even at home with my family I always wanted to be left alone... i thought it made me happy but....

now becuase of that i may be doomed to eternal lonelyness...

there comes a time in most peoples live when they reailze... no person can live alone forever .....
it all gets to be just awful... the day will come when you want a friend... maybe your family... maybe your own kids...

But if you stay alone for too long like i did then it will never happen... and not to be rude please don't take this the wrong way but...
you will look back on your life of "alone time" and realize... it was wasted time...

this is what has happend to me please don't let yourself suffer the way I have...
I can never have my own happy family i now want... becuase i didn't want before... now i do and it will never happen...

PLEASE LEARN FROM MY MISTAKES!! !! ! don't let yourself be alone your whole life or it will have all n=been for nothing...

Sorry for any spelling errors in any of my post...

the important thing to remember is that it is never too late my friend. i have seen couples a sold as 70 getting married, people who never found the right one and were all alone all those yrs, and then right in their older yrs, they found the right one, and they lived the rest of their life in happiness. What i would suggest for you is to go out into the world, instead of waiting for the world to come to you, your friends are out there, somewhere in the world, and what you must do is find them, maybe go to the new amusement park or try the new restaurant in town, or the gym, park, anywhere where people socialize, and i bet you might just find a friend eventually, just keep your hopes up. just be as friendly and as sociable as you can be, and have fun! Thats the key to life, having fun, enjoying life. Do anything tha gives you happiness and usually friends will always follow.

I see what you are trying to say about going out to find friends and the other things you said.

However there is a major problem...

where i live (it's a place in pennsyvannia USA) there isn't much i can do about that sort of thing...
At the restruants you don'y get noticed by other customers...
At the local skate park People seem to be somwhat unpleasent to be around
there is a water park for kids... but one shouldn't go there if they don't bring A child along...
as you can see the oppertunites are... severely limited...

I won't say exactly where i live but if you know the places I mentioned You could have an idea...
just a little uneasy about saying where i'm from 'cuase i'm still kind of new here and probally should never tell anyone.

But sometimes I wonder if people need me as a friend..I mean sure everyone needs friends but I don't know if anyone should be friends with me, what if I only make things harder for them?

Forgot to mention the nearest amusment park is a little to far away to go to as often as i would like...

people there aren't very nice anyway... the park's customers can be awfully rude in any kind of situation even if it is not really an issue...
i don't have to get involved with all those sorts of people... most of them come from other states just becuase Knoebols amusment park is free admission... but they are more likely to pay more for gas, rides, tickets and food when they come from across the country...

so i won't be able to meet new people there....

it was an exellent suggestion so thank you...

I really hope somene needs you as a friend....
I realli hope someone need me as a friend....

it is a sad thing that this word can be so cruel at times....

I know here in western pa there isnt a whole lot, i would reccomend maybe going to erie if your in western pa, maybe find someone at the beach, or maybe go to pittsburgh to a dance club or some social event like a concert. I know a dance club isnt exactly the best place , but it is a social place, sorry im just sord of thinking.

Socialization has also been positively linked to mental health. Those who socialize regularly are generally happier, healthier individuals. You literally start to go insane if you go without socializing for a long enough period of time. And that goes for everyone, not just NTs.

I'm not very close to pittsburgh... Sorry

1. I am happy and enjoy it already, without friends.
2. True but I have gotten a little sad because I would wish I had someone with me to have fun with. but I have my husband now and son so problem solved.
3. True. That is if you want to go somewhere and you wish you had someone to share it with.
4. Nope, never been there.
5. Not me.


You are projecting yourself onto others. Not everyone feels the same way about not having friends and don't get effected the same way as you do. Just because you need friends doesn't mean everyone else does or else they will go through what you go through.

If you didn't overuse the ellipses and the caps lock button, I might be more inclined to follow your logic. But other than that, all I wanted to say is a sarcastic "oh, really?" because of exactly what League Girl wrote here.

I recognise that there can be practical reasons for needing someone's help but I really am happier alone.
