Is it normal to not have friends

I think im a normal decent person but i guess not because kno one likes me

I have no friends i tell people that i have no friends and they dont believe me but its true i never go to parties or hang out i dont kno any one. everyone is always talking about their friends but i have none and it seems like im the only one who doesnt.

I'm pretty satisfied being alone the only reason i thought about it was because i went to get some videogames at the mall and everybody was there with some one and i was the only one by myself and when i started thinking about it im always by my self never had a GF or any kind of friend .

Im not sad or lonely or depressed my life is happy and peaceful I love video games and movies and i have tons of tv series to get through and a few books im never bored. im always busy doing something i just wish i could sing because i write songs that are pretty good but i cant sing.

So basically im just wondering if im not normal because i dont have friends and if its not normal what should i do because when i think about it i dont like being around others.

I think im smart and attractive with a good personality but obviously girls operate outside the realm of logic so none of that matters. im not sure what i should do when it comes to the female. a few have approached me over the years im never sure how to respond. should i continue to evade them? would that be the normal thing rather then to embark into unknown territory?

I understand how you feel, I'm a 25 y/o girl and a have only one close friend. I think you are very lucky that your situation doesn't bother you, because mine bothers me a lot. I wish I had lots of friends but I just don't know how to make that happen. It always annoys me when I see people texting and talking on their cell phones because I hardly ever use my phone since I don't have anybody to call. And I think it is funny that in theory, a person like me who is nice and freindly, would have many friends, and a mean, negative person would be alone, and in reality it is the oposite. I know this girl who is always complaining about everything and taking bad things abouth other people and half of my town is a friend of hers.

I have about five close friends, and that's really it. And they're away at university most of the time while I run my own company, so I only see them occasionally. It never bothers me, because I actually prefer to have fewer friends I know I can trust, and I also like time to myself as well. Maybe just join a club or something, and get to meet a couple of people you know you can get on with really well if you're very worried. But to be honest, it's not that serious. You are who you are.

I am a female and I also have a similar situation. I basically have no friends. Its perfectly normal not to have any friends but if you have some then its not bad. You will have something new and exciting in life. But it is equally true that once you are in a company of people you will have problems also. But this is not any discouragement for having friends.

Now that you're becoming aware of your isolation from society I suggest if you see a woman you would like to be friendly with, look her in the eyes and give her a smile. Start out small and ask her if she would like to join you for coffee, tea, or a soft drink. Also, it might be a good idea to look for other men that share your interests as well. Believe me, there are plenty of them at your age that LOVE videogames, tv, and movies. And when you meet with them, they will most certainly know a few women with whom you can meet. Hope this helped.
