View Full Version : comments about friends?
I really don't have any. When I finished college, I stayed in the same town because I couldn't afford to move and didn't want to go home. All my friend's left in one way or another and are too far away to just hang out with. I lost contact with a lot of them and doubt any of them remember or care where I am or what I'm doing. The one I did keep in touch with, the last time I talked to her was in January, and she was busy and said she'd call me the next night. Have never heard from her yet. I know I could call her but I'm stubborn and talking to her sometimes depressed me since she's successful and I'm not really.
What my real comment was, well, I don't have any close friends. I've lost touch or don't have anything in common with the ones I used to have. I have friends thru my BF but they're not the kind of friend I'd call up just to chat.
I don't want any advice, since I bet I know what you'd all say, but I'd like to know if any one else is "isolated" like myself.

I know what you mean. I recently finished school and when I was there but already I feel like they are no longer a major part of my life. I can see in a few years I will have very few if any of those friends left, since I have moved away and don't plan on going back. I have also lost touch with all my high school friends, which doesn't really bother me. BUt now I am back at home with no one to call up and I don't really know how to meet people besides going out to the bar every night, and I really hate that whole scene. Suggestions anyone?

All the friends I had in high school but one went to the same university. I'm choose to go away and study something completely different than the rest of my friends, so we have little to talk about. It's been so long I bet our tastes in movies, books, music, people have changed. I know mine have for sure.
I work out of my apartment so I don't exactly have coworkers to hang out with. I've actually noticed recently that I don't talk as much as I used to, I keep most of my thoughts inside my head, I get a little nervous going out (I hope to God I'm not becoming agoraphobic!) and I afraid I've forgotten how to make friends and how to be one.
Hello,
I understand what your going through.
I am the only one out of all my friends that chose to go to college. I no longer have much in common with the friends that I grew up with. Everyone of them have settled down seriously with someone and had children (which I know I am not ready for)I hardly ever talk to them. I too find it hard to meet and form lasting friendships with anyone. It seems everyone you meet are greedy, shelfish and basically looking out for their own intrests. That is only a small part of my QLC. I just wanted you to know that you are not alone.

This is all comforting to know. Too bad I bet we live so far apart, we could form a little club of our own!

I know how you feel. I have been friends with the same people since grade school!!! We did grade school, HS, Comm. Coll., etc. together. One of them did go away to college , but now she's back and in the same boat as the rest of us.
Honestly, at times, I feel like I have outgrown some of them and lost some of the 'fun times' we used to have. But, I don't want to lose them and have no one. My BF's friends I have really outgrown and rarely talk. They didn't go to college at all and most of them have kids now and don't work, which is fine for them, but it leaves us with little in common.
I, too, wished we all lived closer--it would be cool to hang out with other 25-somethings who are all having qlc's and understand each other!

yes, i feel the same way. for me this is the most difficult part of transitioning out of college; i've lost touch with all my friends, and i don't seem to be making any new ones. it seems harder to connect to people and find things in common, and it seems like everyone else already has their groups of friends in place. it's hard to find anyone who just wants to hang out or talk, and i'm embarrassed to admit to anyone new that i don't even have any friends already. i feel very lonely.

I feel the same way. I'm getting ready to start my last year of college. I attend a commutor college, meaning there are no dorms. So, at this point in my classes, everyone is working full-time, taking care of families, and coming to school just for class. It's impossible to hang out with people and get to know them. Our instructors don't even encourage group activities because they know it's impossible for students to get together outside of class to work on a project. So, we are all left to our own lives after class. It's so difficult. I have a boyfriend, and he is one of my only sources of friendship. My other friend is one girl who I was lucky enough to have enough classes with that we actually had a chance to talk, but we don't hang out that much or just call each other to chat. I've lost all contact with friends from high school. So, I agree, it is very hard to meet new people. And, very lonely.
It's nice to know that I'm not the only one feeling rather lonely and disconnected. I too have a boyfriend that is the source of most of my friendship. But sometimes I just need a girl friend to talk to or shop with, all that stuff. Maybe this is the time of my life that I'll be alone for a while. I had friends in high school but those were left behind when I went to college. I had friends in college and now those are gone since we've all graduated and moved on. Maybe this is when I'm meant to be alone and I'll meet people when the next change in my life happens.

I can so feel everyones pain!! I graduated from undergrad in 98, I only keep in touch with one of my friends from then. I went on to grad school, and I made a few friends there, although that is extremely difficult due to our hectic work schedules. I keep in touch with one friend from there, however sometimes I feel like she just gets sick of me. So living in a city where I don't know many people, that leaves me with no friends. I hang out with my co-workers, but there is one of my co-workers who just makes me feel like a big fat idiot, so I don't like to be with her too often (she is kind of like the ring leader too!). Again, that leaves me with nobody. So where do we meet people? I try to have my friends I do have introduce me to friends, but I just don't connect with them, and the ones I do connect with I feel odd even wanting to hang out with them without the original friends. I feel like the worlds biggest loser sometimes, as I use to have all these friends, and now I have so few! So I can understand where all of you are coming from. I have decided I just need to get use to being on my own, and as I meet new people I will make new friends. I hope this helps for some of you /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
Ok. I had a thought since I posted a message 10 minutes ago (it's in the PLAY section). We need a support group- a real, get together for dinner with people we don't know but trust for some reason- support group. I think once all that publicity goes through this site will get a lot of traffic, and maybe people in all parts of the country will be looking for other lost travelers. I know I am.
That would be pretty fun but it'll take ages for us small town folk to find people nearby to get together with.

Friends......it's so hard these days to meet quality individuals to be friends with. I have 1 close friend that lives near by, 1 close friend who lives all the way across the country and 1 close friend who lives an hour away but has 2 little kids. I totally understand what you mean about keeping everything inside and forgetting how to be a friend. Most people my age in the area I live in have little kids. It's so hard to be close with someone who has little kids at home - they no longer can drop what they are doing when you are in a crisis. They can't sleep over and they are ready for bed before its even time to go to the bar. It is so hard to meet people just to talk to or be just friends with. I guess people think when we hit our mid-twenties we don't "need" friends anymore because we have spouses and children to look after - our needs (as women - I can't speak how it is for a man) are completely irrelevant and our fickle dating/partying days are over. I think the lack of friends just adds to the effects of the whole Quarter-Life crisis we are all suffering from.

I keep getting these impressions that I should be out having the time of my life, but I'm at home trying to scrape out a living. I think I watch too much tv and read too many books! /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
Around this time every summer, I feel like I'm letting it go to waste. All this great weather I feel like I ought to be doing stuff, but I can't afford alot, I can't go many places (no car) and don't have a lot of people to go with. Very frustrating.

Wow, I can completely relate to what you all are saying. I've had a really hard time adjusting to life after school and keeping in touch with friends. Since I graduated from university 2 years ago I've virtually lost touch will all my friends from school. A lot of them live across the country, so that's hard, but even nearby, I just stopped making an effort.
I think part of it was due to the fact that I'm not yet established and I was kind of embarasses that I've not made anything for myself. This last year I've been back at school doing a post-grad, but the year before I just spent waitressing. I met a lot of really cool people doing that, but I even find it hard to keep in touch with those people because everyone works nights.
I live on my own in a cute little apartment which I love, but I find myself becoming increasingly lonely. There are times when I just sit waiting for the phone to ring - but it doesn't. I also find myself thinkiing alot - probably too much. My brain is always working on overdrive and it drives me crazy all the stuff I internalize.
I'm just glad that I'm not completely alone and it''s so reassuring to read all of these posts.

I totally understand the phone thing. I have the answering machine, and cellphone and I am always waiting for it to ring, when I am out, I expect someone to call me on my cellphone, but who calls another later at night? I have pretty much decided now this is the way my life has to be at the moment, and I am sure I will meet people as I go on living, and moving to other places. I guess all I can do is trust in God that this is his ultimate plan for me, and just live day to day until something changes. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_wink.gif

I know exactly what you all are going through! I moved out of my home town to a larger city. I made a couple of friends through work but of course there are just some thngs that you don't want to share with the people you work with! I met my boyfriend through work also and we have recently split up. I was closer to him than anyone else in this city. Its been very difficult to get out and meet people as i don;t know many here to start with. Life was so much simple when you were five and who ever was playing in the sandbox with you was your best friend for the time you were together!
Any suggestions on how to get out more with people other than those i work with?
It's a shame we're all spread out. But at least we know others are feeling the same. Personally, I'd love to have someone to take yoga classes with, or do goofy things like take craft lessons. it's not that I can't do them on my own, or with my bf, I just think I'd be so much more fun doing things like that with girl friends. And go shopping! I feel like I've lost all my dress sense since I left school, I think I need a personal shopper. /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_razz.gif

Man, this is all so very validating. I agree with everyone here who is looking to actually meet with people in a real-life support group environment. I really hope that this website generates some of that in each of our local areas. Until then, this helps out a great deal.

It's reassuring to read about people going through this same thing - I'm 26 and since grad school (2 yrs ago), I don't think I've met more than 10 people within a year or two of my own age. I always hear these cliches about how you can tell the quality of a person by the company he/she keeps - I'm not keeping any company!!! It drives me crazy. I was plenty popular in both HS and college and now it's like I am the ultimately loser - actually my teens were pretty good - they are so hard for some but mine were pretty easy - it's these 20's that are killing me. My friends now are also likewise spread out across the country and their loyalty can sometimes leave one rather cynical. Now I have been offered a so/so job with the potential to make a ton of money but also work a TON! Which means I could make great money, but at 30 I'll still be sad and friendless. Of course I could not take the job and maybe end up still sad and also still poor at 30!!
The worst part is hoping to meet girls - I mean, unlike the girls I've read about here, I could live without buddies (I also have four great bros to hang with), but dating and romance, which seem to be crucial to me as a person, are completely nil.
Well, enough for now - sorry for the long post, but I've been wanting to tell this story for a looong time.
Later!!!

skywalker (i like your nick by the way)
From a female perspective, I know what you mean as far as the meeting that soemone special. I work in a feild that is dominated by men. Usually I can hold my own with regarding topics of discussion, humour, etc. But when it comes down to meeting someone, I'm so use to being hit on at work that soemtimes I may miss an oppurtunity outside work or behave with that guy the way I do with my male friends. I've been told a few times that I'm just one of the boys which I take as a compliment but sometimes I'd like to let my more vulnerable side show.

Hey skywalker- it is SO good to hear what you had to say! I was JUST thinking the other day about how I am not the same person I was just a few years ago, meaning just what you said I had a lot of friends in undergrad and grad school, but now tht I am all done with school its like I don't know anyone, and I don't have much of a life. I have been hanging out with my coworkers, but the other night one of them just made me feel like I was useless and my being at our volleyball game was a waste of time because I suck at it anyway. So i made the decision if she is there i am not going to participate because there is NO reason and NOTHING is important enough for me to feel bad about it.
As for the meeting people, I know how hard that one is too!! I have posted personals on the web in hopes to meet someone worthwhile, but I have not met anyone who I had any connection with to pursue any farther. I wish there was something we could do to make it easier on all of us!
Does anyone have any ideas that have worked for them in meeting people besides hanging with coworkers?
Thanks /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif

Heck I long for those days of high school where my friends and I spent hours chatting in the hallways, going to football games and dances, just basically being carefree. Fast forward three years later and I barely get a chance to see all of them now bc they all moved away for college and only come home every once in a blue moon. I only regularly talk to about three or four of them right now, and one of them is marrying in October. But my boyfriend Mike came along just in time to save me from being lonely... and we try to spend as much time together as possible. I cherish every moment just simply being with him and I love and care about him very much.

Hey LMY (the one who started it all)
I often thought I read too much and watched too much tv too - at the very earliest of my qlc I wrote a song lyric saying exactly that. Meaning at the time that I had watched too many movies, tv, and read too many books that led me to believe I could do or be anything in the world and I found myself living in a fantasy world far detached from the reality I was living.
Now I still watch a lot of tv and movie's - I can't help it - it's just escapism and I suppose it's better than drinking the night away or something like that. But then there's the simple fact that I enjoy curling up on the couch and watching some tv - I'd rather do that than go to bars or whatever, but the whole dilemma is this seems to be a very lonely indulgence. And books - well I've about given up on most - they are so so depressing much of the time. Full of tragedy and desperate characters, they only make me worry more about where the hell my life is going. So I only find things to read now here and there that are a little more light hearted.
Just some thoughts for now...

All right - I just have to comment on this too as I am reading these - I too had a similar experience - one of the best friends I'd ever had was a friend of mine in Chicago - a guy I figured would be in my wedding party or an usher or something. But these days he's just dropped off the face of the earth - I did my part to keep in touch, but I never get returned phone calls or e-mails. I am a person huge on brotherhood and loyalty so this has been a really dissappointing experience.
I read once where Bono of U2 quoted a philosopher saying that friendship was the highest virtue and much higher than romantic love or family love b/c with friendship you have none of the romance or passion of love nor the blood ties of family. I very much believe this myself, but it seems hard to find others as committed.
Wow, I had no idea I'd get so many replies. It's a relief that I'm not the only one going thru this, but it doesn't help solve the prolbem.
You know what I'd love to try? I'd like to see how I'd do in a Big Brother, Shipwrecked, Survivor, Tall Ship Chronicles situation. I'd like to be dumped with a bunch of strangers, people I would never have a chance to meet under normal situations, to see who I'd get along with, and who would gravitate towards me, learn more about myself and maybe find a way to change my situation in the normal world, or at least learn that what I have now is ok. You know what I mean? I wouldn't care about the prize, although winning something would be nice, but I'd like the experience. To be isolated with people that would become family in a way. There would be people I'd dislike, but there would be people I really like as well. Just to experience some new emotions and feelings and to challenge myself.

Wow skywalker you sound a lot like me!! I too tend to watch too much tv and read too amny books. I'm not into the bar scene at all. Too much of a meat market for my liking and everyone there is just putting on a show anyway. Very phony atmosphere. But where ele does a twentysomething go to meet people besides work or through any current friends they might have.
Thanks to LMY for making this post. I think we all have this same problem to different degrees but it's all something we can relate too!! I salute you /phpBB/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif
(I keep getting an error so I can't read page 3! Anyone help?)
Anyway, seems we all read and watch too much tv. And those dammed beer ads! I don't hardly drink at all, yet I still get the feeling like I should be with a group of people jumpin off cliffs into a lake.
I think it'd be fun to get a bunch of people together, get some chinese food, rent a couple of really bad movies, and make jokes at the expense of the actors and the rest of the people who made the films. My friends and I did that a lot in college and I never laughed so hard as those nights. Bad horror, sci-fi and kung fu never were so good!
(Never mind, I can read page 3 now!)

I feel so much better from reading all of your posts!
I grew up in one town and then accepted a job in another state at the other end of the US. I used to have a healthy group of girls to hang out with and now I have NO ONE!
Everyone I work with is just too old with kids in high school or younger than me and all they want to do is drink.
I was starting to think I was a horrendous loser because I couldn't make any friends! I read the book and felt much better and now I feel better talking to you all.
I have managed to make a few new friends here in town through my boyfriend. One is my age and is dating a guy he works with. If I didn't work evenings I would join a book-club, take yoga and join a 20-somethings networking group.
It's just soooo aggravating!
I just want to rent stupid Julia Roberts movies and eat a lot of food talking about men.
The Sex & the City group is a myth!
This is me again, plugging the Chicago group. Don't feel like you can't do anything. Make time for yourself. If there's a group in your area, try to meet with them. Let them know what time you're available to meet and perhaps a few people could meet then too. Please try to reach out. It's painful to think that some people want to give up.

I can completely understand what y'all are sayign about friends. All my friends are spread out throughout the States and some are even off living in Europe. Its hard to keep in touch with them.
One of the things I've discovered is how hard it is to make friends once you're out of school. Its not like being 5 when you'd play Barbies with the girl next door. Now, you're expected to go to dinner or go to lunch. While that's all fine and well, and can be enjoyable, it doesn't really give a chance to just let lose and have fun. It takes forever to become close enough friends with someone that you can have the popcorn pig-out movie nights. Plus, now you have to deal with the friend's boyfriend or husband. It just all seems so much more difficult than it used to be.

Well, I hope it's ok for me to put my two cents in.
First of all, I am 32. I am young at heart and still wonder when I am going to grow up.
I've done a lot so far. I didn't go to college, by choice...a bad choice. I join the Military! I am now TRYING to run a new business (Staffing) and have had some minor success. I own a home, and have four kids, 2 ex wives and a 1.5 years relationship with a wonderful 20 something girl.
I can relate to a lot of what you are all saying both from her perspective and mine.
One anonymous write on the first page made a note about community college and, no dorms ect....
I guess I just wanted to let you all know that even though I'll be coming up to a MLC in 12 years, I still have a lot of the feelings that you have & I get a lot of the transference from my girlfriend. I am able to accept hers and handle hers better than my own, but thats because she is my friend and confidant. I am definately not the one who would promote relationships as a source of resolution to QLC or MLC for that matter, however after two failed marriages, a few rugrats, and my second business, I can tell you that a GOOD partner goes a long way in SURVIAL of any crisis.
I know that we can't just run out and get one...but lots of times they are right there in front of us, we just can't see them because of crisis or proximity to us.
I have a lot more I could say, but I don't want to wear out my welcome.
A responces will be answered and I appreciate everyones time....

I can't believe this post is still getting responses!
At this time of year, there is a part of me that wants to go back to school. To learn new things, the schedual, the new people and friends, the consistency. But not for the homework or the tuition. I can see how people can get stuck in the loop of going to school.

I am in the EXACT same position...I moved back home and they all live in the city...its hard because they made friends through people they worked with and I took a job with all 30+ ages...they have kids, families...etc. I feel out of the loop when I talk to them, and I do get jealous if they all hang out and I can't go.
I spend alot of time with the boyfriend but I don't want us to become each others crutches...Its tough. I miss my girlfriends everyday and sometimes we say 'can't wait till we all live together' but the more weeks go by without talking to some I become more skeptical of that. I also become more frightened that I will be alone...

I've never made good friends throughout my life. They come and go, and I'm learning to accept that. I use to get really hung up on the fact as to why I can't seem to make and maintain friends. It seems that I'm always the ones putting in the effort of keeping in contact with them but not the other way around. Sometimes, it still bothers me a lot, that I don't have a girl-friend who I can share my thoughts and pain with. Sometimes I think there's something wrong with me personally. It's a little bit comforting to hear that I'm not the only one experienceing "isolation". I didn't have any friends in High School, and I don't really care that I did. In college, because I got into a serious relationship very early on, I failed to form any serious friendships with any girls. However, during my last year of college, I met 4 wonderful girls whom I lived with. We hang out, watch TV, movies, etc. Now that we've all graduated, we don't really seem to care about each other anymore, even though we don't really live that far away from one another. The other week, we decided to get together since we haven't seen each other for about 3 month. You know what we did? Watched movies the whole time we were there. Then, everyone had to leave in like 4 hours. It was pathetic. Now, all I have are my sister and my boyfriend. The thing is, I"m the kind of person that if I'm feeling hurt, or angry, I need to call someone immediately and vent. I don't have anyone that's just a phone call away to be able to do that. It's so sad.

Dear Angela,
I feel your pain and if you lived in Denver we could hang out. I can completely relate. I have a boyfriend right now and only hang out with him and talk to my sister all the time who is in florida. My college friends have all come and gone and I don't really have anything in common with htem anymore. All I can say is that I can relate. Have you tried going out with anyone from work. I know that when I had a job it was easier to make friends but since I was laid off it is more difficult. Hang in there and you can always contact me to talk.

Hi Shannon,
Sorry but I don't live in Denver. However, I am going there for a business trip at the end of March for 3 days (I'll be there the night of the 25th). If you want to meet up, we can do that. Thanks for writing back to my post. Have you always lived in Denver or did you just recently moved there. I'm sorry to hear that you got laid off. Hang in there, you'll find something. I work in Human Resources, I don't have any co-worker friends. It's only me and my supervisor, and I don't feel really comfortable hanging out with a 43 year old single male. HR is kind of lonely because it's the smallest dept. in the company. There's usually no "team" and everyone just sees you as HR. There are plenty of young people at work around my age, but I don't work with them so naturally, they don't ask me to go hang out with them even though I've been there for 1 year already. Write me if you'd like. I'm at angelee821@excite.com
Keep in touch!
