LonelyGuy85 Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Is there an appropriate time when you can raise your hands in the air, step back from the table and say "I give up"? I am in my mid-twenties and don't have any friends. I have 3 seperate groups of people i know and no matter what i do i can't seem to get them to be my friends. I know that i am way too passive, but i have made massive strides in overcoming that and trying to get people do things with me, but no matter what i do it just doesn't happen. If it wasn't for work and swimming i don't think i would leave the house. Considering that i am in my twenties and am still struggling to find soem decent friends, i have to think that it's just not going to happen for me, so should i just accept realise this and accept that i am destined to be on my own forever?

Disillusioned Posted January 22, 2010 Share Posted January 22, 2010 Dude, take some advice from one who followed it himself... join meetup.com and use it to find some singles groups in your area. Link to post Share on other sites

I think it's okay to give up on dating, but on friends? no way.. Just join some groups, evne if it's a group of dorky activities.. It's harder to make friends once you're out of college, but it'st still possible, it just takes more effort.. Link to post Share on other sites
Author LonelyGuy85 Posted January 22, 2010 Author Share Posted January 22, 2010 Yeah, i got on well with people at uni, but after moving back to my home town 2 years ago i just haven't been able to make any friends and all the 'friends' i had before i went away had either moved on or were completely different. It's just hard to motive yourself when your lack of friends make you feel so low all the time. I have joined a few activities but the truth is that most of them can be done on your own, like swimming, but i need to try new things and join groups i didn't think of trying before. I need to do something because this loneliness is crippling me. Link to post Share on other sites
