Do you have any friends?

[JackIsLost]

if you feel like hanging out with complete strangers and not being judged, try meetup.com. find a group of interest, and hang out with people! i joined a snowboarding group and we get group deals on lift tickets, hotels/cabins, and we eat lunch together. it's fun, you do what you do, and you meet people if you want.

To be quite honest, those people who need a lot of friends around them, and who must have a circle of friends are a mystery to me. I`m even a bit creeped out by people who want to be close friends with me, so always end up cutting things off when it gets to the weird "Let`s be great friends!" level and talk starts to delve into emotional stuff.
I really don`t feel like listening to someone whine about their life. Ever. I also don`t feel any urge to whine about mine.

I`m perfectly nice, polite, and friendly to everyone I meet. It is just too much of a pain to maintain a close friendship. I always feel stressed out by it, and don`t really know what I`m supposed to do. I`m always thinking "And what on earth do you want ME to do???"

Right now, the only people who I talk to on a truly "personal" basis are my husband and my honorary little brother. But then again, if someone actually asked me about something personal, I would probably answer 99% of the time as I don`t really have any secrets. I figure if someone feels the urge to ask me, it`s not going to hurt to answer them. But no one asks anything personal, so there is no reason for me to share.

I've come to the conclusion that friendships are metaphorical security blanket-- just an evolutionary tool that has no basis in reality.


Whether on a personal level or through petty social interaction, "friendships" are merely another function of day to day life.

Anyone who feels the need to associate themselves with a whole slew of people are unaware of their own personalities, and are most-likely self conscious.

I have a very few... all online.

I find I don't feel an overwhelming need to have friends.
If it happens, it's all good, but not necessary.

I'm glad I'm not the only one that doesn't have the urge to be around people.
Everyone asks what's my problem, why am I so anti social now, why don't I come out and chill ever.


I think it's due to the internet and such.
A conversation on aim or myspace is good enough for me.

[Miyavifan]

hmm. maybe you're right. though I was this way even before the net.
I'm just not very sociable.

I see. Why aren't we sociable?!
I guess it's because I'm stuck in Hawaii for the time being and I have nothing in common with any of the locals, or even the Americanized Japanese, go figure. I'm just living in my own little world I suppose, it's not very motivating here.

Yes! I love dir en grey :0

They always ranting about meaningless problems in their lives?
Since when are friends supposed to unload negative energy on you?
It's not for me. My guitars are all I need to entertain me
