No close friends

LegacyUser

hi im feeling kind of down because of a lack of people i can call true friends in my life. a few years ago i did but because of certain things and weird coincidence they left at the same time. i really miss this day to day care free companionship.

now dont get me wrong i have friends but none i would say are close.

now while my closest mates will always remain that way, i dont think ill be seeing a lot of them ever again (hard to believe this would be the case in ireland)

just tonight i was thinking of this and its really getting me down.

any advice?

Im in the very same boat. I did my growing up in Ireland and now that I find myself out of it and living in a placed I have never been before I'm totally friendless for all intents - pretty much a Hermit for almost the last year now. You can still tell people youre alive on places like facebook but generally no, its just hey youre alive hey me too wow! Unless I actually fly back over, the chances are ever-slim of running into them again.

What can you do though besides move on - if you keep dwelling on them you'll keep getting yourself down. This is I would say my 5th major move so I guess I'm a bit more used to it but its always the same, and given time you always adjust. Thats all you can do; just forge ahead with your chin up: new chapter new day.

I go through this every once in a while when I cull my friends (which is fairly self-destructive but it makes things interesting!). All you can do is move on... Sometimes you can't find quite the same connection but those are the breaks. You just have to roll with it, cut out the crap friends that you're not actually interested in and just concentrate on the good ones!

True friends are really hard to find.
