No friends but i don't want any either??

Loner here. I had a huge amount of friends back in school and a few years after,but I left my hometown and never went back for 28 years. It was great to re-connect with the few that were still there,but it has never bothered me to just disappear and not feel one way or the other about it. Now, at my age after some that I cared for(but did not show) have died or are showing the serious effects of aging--maybe I missed out on the pleasures that friendships can bring. I've lived here now for 7 years and only know my neighbor across the street. Maybe it's a character flaw. Never saw any family for those years either,but it just doesn't seem to bother me. Not that I'm incapable--I can talk to anyone,but----just don't bother to do so. So it goes-----

 

^^^ This ^^^


Except I never went back to my old hometown.

 

This has happened to my parents and me. I've learned to keep a strict limit when associating with other people. Never reveal sensitive information that could become a liability if expressed, and never rely on them for anything other than the trivial. So if things go awry, you haven't lost much.

 

That's exactly what I meant. You do not understand the meaning of the word friend. Some guy you have couple of beers with is not necessarily your friend.

 

ya people can be fuckin annoying. I believe that everybody needs at least a couple hella cool friends. It can be hard weeding them out but its probably worth it.

 

I have also never had any close friends, always had schoolmates and such but never outside of school or college. It doesnt bother me having no friends but it does when it comes to relationships with women. I feel kind of self-consious that I am a loner and recluse that I tend to avoid asking women out and keep to myself.

 

The title suggests the problem is solved!!!

 

Family is under rated and friends are WAY over rated

 

Doesn't that depend on the family?

 

this explains why you also consider yourself straight

 

asshole friends are easy to meet. you just have to dump them as soon as you realize, and try to avoid meeting them in the first place
