Why don't I have a social life?

Question

Answer 1

Get friends who are complete money grubbing drones?  

Answer 2

What do u mean your friends are using u. Just be patient and it will be back!

Answer 3

You are probably around places that attract people who like the shine of money. And try not to try to gain friends with shiny things just to get angry when that is what they expect of you. (I am by no means suggesting you do this but it is not uncommon; it is human nature to want to be liked). Try to find people with similar interests.

Answer 4

I wonder the same thing too

Answer 5

I understand what you mean. You probably have encountered some two faced friends, which are not really true friends at all. But also ask yourself if you're being sensitive towards your friends. It is possible because I have been like that before, at a stage where I thought my best friends were using me and taking me for granted. I didn't feel appreciated. You might be sensitive like me. If it is really obvious they are treating you like **** however, it is good you got rid of them! If not, just accept that some people just won't understand you fully, even your close friends.

To get back in the social spehere I would suggest finding some friends at work. Since you like you talk to people about interesting things, ask somebody to hang out! Find common interests and make it happen. Gradually you just have to watch your social life grow as it doesn't happen all at once. You have to be the bold one in this situation and start the conversations.

Try volunteering, or run a marathon to meet people. Do you go to school? Try and find people in your classes by starting conversation. Try getting roommates by finding them online. You could end up with some pretty cool people. Take up a sport like baseball on your spare time. You could do so much! I know it's hard now, but being bold now will help you. It will be gradual but eventually you will make good friends! Good luck :)

Answer 6

i think it's time for you to get new friends. you shouldn't be sticking around people who use you, that's not healthy. be outgoing and make new friends. no shame in that.
