I’m 26. I have no friends, no boyfriend. I’ve been this way since I was 18 or 19. All I do is go to work, study and sleep. I have no life. I’m a complete loser. I’m struggling to get through every day.

I can’t make friends. No idea what’s wrong with me. I can get along with people just fine, but I’ve never made a friend. I’ve met so many people, became close to them, got along with them, yet, at the end of the day, I’m still alone. Everyone else has friends or partners, I don’t. My friends in the past used me, betrayed me in some way, or found a boyfriend/ new friends and just left me to rot. People just don’t want me around. No one wants to be my friend.

Like i said, I’ve been friendless for nearly 10 years. That is not changing anytime soon. I’ve met people at work, uni, mutuals and other places but not once have I actually made a friend. Someone to hang out with. Someone to travel with. Someone to send stupid memes to. Literally not one.

I just don’t really see the point anymore. My family doesn’t care about me either. No one wants me around. No one wants to be my friend or associate with me so I just isolate and don’t even bother speaking to people anymore.

My life is essentially over. It’s like I have a sign on my forehead that says “don’t befriend me” which makes people only tolerate me. It’s so embarrassing having no friends. It really is. I’m 26, sit at home all day unless I’m at work. Everyone knows. I have no life, nothing to look forward to. No one will notice if I’m gone. No one will care either.

I’m 26, and have only one friend. I used to have plenty of friends until they used me, backstabbed me or just got rid of me once they found new friends or relationships. I haven’t made any legitimate friends since. Not for my lack of trying, but because people are fake af and don’t care about actually having a friendship.

I’m more than likely to end up this way forever. No matter how much I try, how much effort I put in, or how much I get along with someone, it goes nowhere. I literally don’t care or like people enough to socialise or bother making friends anymore. It’s crazy how every single person I’ve come across has not lead to any sort of friendship or contact, even through we were close at one point.

It sucks, I’m insecure about it. I’ll never be able to travel, have no one to go out for dinner or go to concerts with, I just sit at home, or go to work. But at the same time, I hate people, and every time I try to build a friendship with someone, it reminds me why I should just be by myself and isolate myself.

I know no one likes me, I have no friends. Any “friend” I’ve had treated me like shit so I would get rid of them. Or even if we had a good friendship or whatever, it just wouldn’t last. They don’t make effort to keep in contact or have other people they hang out with so they don’t care. I’ve been excluded my whole life, never been invited to things and just completely discarded.

I honestly don’t bother being friendly with people anymore or try to make friends because they all end up the same. I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. No matter how well I get along with someone they just don’t care enough to actually hang out and have a friendship. I just keep to myself now.

I don’t have any friends and it’s been this way since I was 19, I’m 26 now. I’ve met so many people, made “friends” (I don’t even know the definition of a friend anymore), people from the past either treated me like shit or ghosted me for no reason.

I’m never good enough. I never have been. I just wish I had a handful of friends to hang out with but I’ve accepted that’s never going to happen.
