Do you have no friends?

I have no friends. I was never interested in trying to contact high school acquaintances through social media either. I have no Facebook, no Twitter, no nothing. Just me and my PS3. The only "friend" I have is a guy on my PSN friends list that I talk to every once and a while.

And I'm not bothered by it either. In fact, it all seems draining to have a bunch of people constantly texting you or posting messages on your Facebook or Twitter feed and trying to keep up with it all.

Do you have no friends either?

Have plenty of acquaintances and some people I go out with in a semi regular basis, so I guess I can consider them my friends but wouldn't be sad for more than 30 seconds if any of them decided they didn't want to hang out anymore. I get bored easily with people, so they last longer if I don't get too close =P

I have toooooo maannnyyy friends... wish I could be alone.

I have a few.

and anyone else posting below me :)

None, not even acquaintances at this point in my life. I had plenty people previously who considered me a dear friend and whom I barely considered acquaintances. Most of them would confide in me the most intimate details of their personal life yet I wouldn't let them in on trivialities. As such, it was only natural to decide to end the farce. I'm running lean now. It can get tough at times but the pros outweigh the cons that's for certain. Its not that I'm antisocial or anything its just that I'm not very lucky in that department.

@indzman: Hah! Well done Sir :)

So uhm..... You've met a lot of awful people?

I do, but they ignore me most of the time and even the women I've met this year seem to ignore me after about a month for no reason.

I don't ignore you EVER freind.

You're such a pal indzman. :)

Yes. I have a a few friends. I hang out with them individually because they aren't a group but all of them have become close almost like brothers/sisters to me. I like to consider myself a social introvert I don't enjoy parties or big group meetings but I do enjoy social interaction with other people). I've never had bad experiences with close friends and have never had any of them betray me. I am content with having a small circle and seek no desire to increase that circle unless people who's company I enjoy would put effort into it.

I don't need real life friends... what for anyway?!

Tons of friends. But I hope those friendship lasts before everyone becomes busy with their joblife.

I have several friends I see regularly.

I have less than 10 friends but most of them are close ones. I see them quite often as we're classmates in the university, chat pretty much everyday(via skype), play co-op games(mostly L4D2) and go out in the weekends for a coffee, movie, dinner. I enjoy this small circle of friends, it matches my introverted nature.

I guess I have a lot of friends, regularly go out to parties and hang out with people, get along with guys and gals no problem. Guess I'm just normal.

I have quite a few friends all of which I see on a regular basis. For me it's actually in gaming where I'm almost a complete loner (my friends only play WoW and LoL, and I steer clear of those two). I go out partying whenever I can really and like to surround myself with people for the most part.

I have several. I keep in touch through social media. It's rare for me to have anyone over or go out anywhere. Things have changed a lot since high school and college. Career, family, and bills. Whenever I do have time to hang out , it's great. I'm hoping to have my best friend from high school over sometime this holiday to play Smash Bros.

I'm basically a shut-in at the moment. The lack of friends doesn't bother me nearly as much as the lack of romantic liaisons, but it is what it is.

After college years, friends moved and it was mostly the wife and me. Now with 2 dogs and two kids the couple of people I would consider friends, I rarely see them since they live out of state or several hours away.

Closest thing to a friend (not counting the wife) would be a previous boss - we chat almost every day on teamspeak and play LoL (pretty much just to troll the shit out of people, so much fun) along with a few other past co-workers. I greatly dislike traveling (I hate large groups of people, they're slow and in my way and most of them are just down right dumb as hell and piss me off). But I try to get out and go places since the wife likes to get out and about. I don't have time for many friends and I'm okay with that. I got my games I can play online with my younger brother and my ex-boss/co-workers. I'm surprisingly content with it all, too.

Words cannot described how unimpressed I am with that.

have 1 close friend and a girlfriend. Thats about all my social is.

I live by the Ron Swanson philosophy on friends: "1 to 3 is sufficient."

Yes, since I'm here to impress you. Seems my work is now done :-)

Typical culture here is football and pubs. None of which appeal to me. This tends to make socializing with other males of a personal level fairly difficult. Likewise I tend to look intimidating to people; even though in reality I am actually a massive pussy cat. Overall I think as you get older (past your 20's) many people tend to start sticking to themselves; preferring to just get on with there business wither that be settling down with a family or by themselves.

I have a close group of friends that I get along with + some internet bros. That's all I need right now.

ffffffffff this

Going on a month being single with no end in sight. #dryspell

Try going the first 27 years of your life without even getting a kiss.

Anyway, I don't have any friends. I'm pretty much a recluse.

i had friends up until near the end of Freshman year. i was pretty extroverted. then we moved and got transfered to a huge overcrowded school. my extrovertedness all but disappeared. did make one good friend. then come Junior year, my dad retired from the air force. and we ended up going back to my old school. i was unable to resume my extroverted self i was before. got in touch with a couple of my older friends, but the friendships diminished as time went on. by senior year, i only had 2 "aquaintances".
after graduation, basically lost all touch with them.

now ive taken on to the loser stereotype :P. no friends, living in parents basement.

every now and then i get a feeling of loneliness but for the most part, i prefer to be alone.

@konvikt_17

I guess the only IRL friends I have are people I work with, and I don't really hang out with any of them outside of work, except at Birthdays and Christmas. Outside of that I have a decent amount of people who I talk to online via Skype/Xbox LIVE/PSN but it's really only about whatever game we are currently playing, and never share anything personal.

About 10 acquaintances, 6 close friends.

Ron is awesome, what a guy!!

I'm driving 3 1/2 hours to Kansas City on Saturday to stay with a couple of friends who live in the area. While lots of my friends have moved away after college I still try to keep in touch and see them when I can. I'm not super popular but I have just enough friends that I have someone to hang out with if I feel the need to do something social.

I have few friends who I associate with, 2 guys and 7 women who I been with many years since High School. We stay in touch when we get together for a big party and such.

Here at Gamespot, I have met some really great people here on GS and they are:

Top_lel (he can be a pain in the ass to get along but I find him, an interesting fellow to associate with)

Korvus (very wise and very witty)

gamerno6666 (great person to talk to when times are hard)

ezioismyname (the person help me who I am today)

GazaAli (I enjoy reading his post and his threads)

indzman (the man has good taste with the ladys)

elkoldo (odd guy but he's cool)

That's the folks I like to talk to on OT. (I'll add more when I get the chance)

I have no friends; I spend most of my personal time alone. The life that I've lived has created a permanent scowl on my face, which pushes people away. Quite frankly, considering how phony most people are, I don't want any friends anyway. The only thing I want is a girlfriend, and not even for emotional bonding but only for sex.

I have a few friends that I have very close relationships with, and prefer few to many.

However, I often prefer being alone as I am not one to enjoy the social fluff that everyone else seems to feed off of.

24 years old here. Can I join you two?

My best friends are my family and my cousins. My other best friends are three people I know from middle school. I've not seen any of them for four years but that doesn't mean we're not friends anymore. On the other hand there are other people who I occasionally hang out with but I consider only of them a friend.

I have lots of friends, but I'm not super close to most of them.

Many friends during high school and college, but now only a select few that I care enough about to spend face time with.

Im pretty similar.

I havent really had any friends in 4+ years. Tho I did have a girl friend for a year of those 4 years, so...

but no i dont have friends. No one really talks to me and no one ever invites me for anything. Even when i had friends back in the day, I was always treated like a partial outsider. Im not an interesting guy either and i dont have anything or money to go do things, so i cant even invite people to go do things with me.

I dont have much of a family at all either, only one older brother but meh... no cousins or anything, not even grandparents. So I was always kinda raise alone. Im not a loner and im not an extrovert I like being around people and socializing. People always say im really friendly and nice. But all the people I met are just acquaintances and casual cool people I just interact with becuz of the location we are in (school, work, and thats about it). No one texts me and I never have anything interesting to say to text some body. I get like 2 text a month. And like 1 phone call ever other month.

I dont drink or smoke, so alot of time (I can tell) some people Im cool with just start to not interact with me any more cuz they are into drinking partying and smoking weed, so they find me boring.

It always been like this for me. Im too poor for some people or Im too boring for some people. My other problem is that Im not stupid or into stupid things. I dont connect with my generation or people my age, Im not into much of anything or know the stuff my generation are into or do.

Im 22, so most people my age all already have their buddies and circle of friends.

Like you Im kinda fine with it. Im not sad about it or think Im such a loner who will always be alone. But at the same time I kinda dont make that much of an effort any more becuz of the several bullshit back stab experiences I've had. For Example, this guy, a female friend and i had been planning to go to this canoeing/rockclimbing/nature park during the summer. Because of the girl and her scheduling we never could get a set date. Then the new fall semester for school started and 2 weeks into semester, I see pictures of them two and 3 other people on facebook of all of them who had just went to the canoeing/rockclimbing/nature park place. Really? what the ****? Not only was that my idea that i proposed during the summer several times and had invited them but also try to coordinate with them 4 different times about going there.

Shit like this has happened to me several times. So I drop them. I used to stick around people who where dicks to me, now I drop them easily. I had a friend that I became really cool with for about 7 months. He had just came from Africa and had only been in the US for a year. In March of this year my cat died, not only did he make fun of my cat dying three times to my face, but he also did it to me over the phone, on facebook, and on his birthday in in front of my girlfriend at the time. So I simply loosen the ties with him and he never really try to contact me or anything either. I had also noticed before that he would only really contact me and hang out with me when he was bored or needed help with something, not when he was out partying and going places. Friends like that I drop them now with ease.

Don't you got a hot g.f ???

90% of the time I'm apathetic socially, the remaining 10% of the time I feel crushing loneliness. When I'm feeling lonely I just remind myself that in a few days the urge for social contact will fade and I'll be back to being an emotionless zombie.

I do have friends, yes.

Finding a girlfriend would be worthwhile, but I can wait.
