"The average person can have 150 friends"

hahah ha....

*Cries in loneliness*

[joostscheffer]

''friends''? At what level do i unlock this?

[ryandeffley]

Actually you're more likely to make "risky" decisions trying to please other people.

When you truly focus on your health, your own finances, your purpose in life without distractions and trying to please other people, you'll ultimately be happier.

Friends ultimately come and go and the only person you can ultimately count on is yourself.

It would be great to have just at least one friend, I'm still waiting and trying

[iAppleJailbreaker]

Laugh with many.
But don't trust any.

Real life? Never heard of that server.

By growing up i realized that most of the time friendship is not like what is depicted on TV shows and anime, where they trust and care for each other deeply.

Most of the time they just need someone to have fun with, nothing more than that.

This realization makes me less lonely, and i'm glad.

Reasons why I have no friends:
1. I can do things at my own pace.
2.Dont have to hear gibberish talk.
3.Most people are no good, descent people are hard to find.
4.Dont have to be told what to do, how to think, what to think, what not to think, how to dress, what to eat and drink.
6.Most people are narcissistic, pretentious, superficial, phony,
stupid, no good, and repugnant.

Friends are overrated. Real friends are underrated.

[Thickman]

Sometimes, it's better to be a loner. Sometimes it's not.

[Nobodygonnaknow]

I want true friends, not people who judge my every breathe, not people who use me as the basis to every joke, not people who question the people I talk to or the person I am, not people who make me pretend to be who I’m not, not people where the satisfaction of making me awkward and freeze is fun, not the people who drag be down at my highest and laugh at me at my weakest, not the people who cast shadow on success and shine light onto regret, not people who I fear will make my day worse. Not people, just friends, someone to hug with, someone to cry with, someone to make memories with...someone

I have 3 friends, me, myself, and I.

more friends = less pizza
less friends = more pizza

People always talk at me and say “you need people” and “are you depressed?” I actually enjoy being alone.

I don’t have depression or any issues

I have a great family life

I just don’t need people🤷🏻‍♀️

[nobodynoname]

the sad part is.
is the fact that I literally searched "What to do when you don't have friends" to find this.

[hydrashade]

im so introverted I dont know how to make friends. I need to wait for them to make the first move and then not mind my lack of social skills, and my mumbling.

[helloolleh]

I don’t have friends and I’m doing fine alone

[im_concerned]

*That moment when you realize you clicked on this video cause you dont have friends anyways*
