Sartre said that hell is other people, others say that solitude is hell, but I believe in what Milton said "The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven." Ultimately it is the individual who determines his/her happiness whether in the company of others or being alone.

I don't think I've had actual friends outside of people online since 2010 tbvh

I've always been a loner and if I had friends at some point it was because they just tagged along with me.

I prefer being alone so it wouldn't bother me.

Also the word "friend" is subjective.

What in the whole universe is this sorcery. :|

That's what i am curious about, why people call others "friends" if they do not like them (assuming silly d1cks was an expression of dislike), those people are acquaintances at best.

Well I only have 2 people who I can really call friends so......one of them is a girl who I knew since kindergarten and the other is a guy who I hated at the beginning but we somehow became friends 5 years ago.I don't consider anyone else a "friend" other than these 2.

By silly dicks I meant they're jerks and do idiotic things most the time. Perhaps you are correct tho, I do frequently converse with them, but there is no mutual affection.

To put it bluntly. I only have a few "true" friends. i guess I should've been more clear with my first post.

I'm 21 also...
I have never seen anyone without a friend around me! It's really weird for me to see so many people alone!!! I'm also unsocial and I love being alone, but even I have more friends than I could count...

I have about 5 best friends. And the rest are 10-15, who I simply hang around with. Make friends with ones you hang around with the most. It doesn't need to be a lot.

I don't have true friends either. Well, I dunno how to call them, maybe "acquaintances" who just hang out with me.

You can troll around with a true friend and laugh all the time. That's who the true friend is, I think.

You don't have to get "I'll do anything for you" type friends, but you need some companionship once in a while. Humans are social creatures by nature. Things will improve for you if you socialize more.

That signature of yours is just EPIC!!!

and yeah....i second the above

Man, I thought I was the only one.

I have 'friends', associates/accomplices to be precise. However I feel that all of them are not real 'friends' as the world might term it.

Friendship, according to society, is supposed to be a bond between two or more people who support each other and give a pleasant company, without any deep, intimate connection.

However this type of friendship is almost, I said almost, impossible these days as everyone is more concerned about looking out for themselves, regardless of how honest we be with them.

I have been forced to believe that true companionship between two people is quite rare to find (not counting intimate relationships). There are times when I yearn for friendship while at others I feel as if there is no point of socializing.

Regardless of what I think, humans are social beings. One can not survive without any form of support/assistance from another. In fact I've even gotten better at socializing and find it somewhat enjoyable, the company of others.

My advice to you is that even though you prefer solitude, like me, you should make an attempt at public interaction. I believe that you can find satisfaction in just talking to others every now and then and try to be in a group, just listen to what they say even if you don't get what they mean as you probably don't have anything better to do. This is what I do.

You might call it a little hypocritical of me to prefer solitude yet enjoy company XD.

P.S. At least keep online friends who have nothing to prove or hide so they are mostly, not always, honest with you. And don't go around trusting freely like an idiot, I'm referring to NB generally as trustworthy and others, well, I have no experience there.
