    I'm starting uni in September so hopefully I'll make friends there. How do you deal with not having any friends presently?

    I dislike most people so I revel in not having to maintain pony relationships with people who will ultimately **** you over

    get some hobbies like: watching films, playing xbox, learning an instrument. They're all very time draining.

    Re: How do you deal with not having any friends?
    I'm not going to lie and pretend that I am completely friendless, I'm not. I do have a few friends but I see them rarely and we go on a night out once in a blue moon and the smae applies to the cinema.

    I lost most of my friends because I spent all my time on my ex, so it's not as if I can't make friends.

    But how do I cope? I occupy myself. I mean sometimes I feel down and crap but there's nothing you can do.

    I go for walks, runs and work out. It gives my day purpose and getting out atleast once a day for atleast half an hour of exercise can have a massive impact on the mood of my day and make it seem a lot better. I also play video games sometimes, but mostly online ones where I have many good online friends (Sucks but hey, better than nothing). I also play my guitar a lot now, I have spent all day trying to master I bet you look good on the Dancefloor. I read and make sure that whenever I have any chance to be social, I grab it.

    Just keep busy and do interesting things mate so when you do bump into potential friends you've got lots to talk about. E.g. a great conversation starter for me is saying how I play guitar. "Oh what do you play"
    "I play all sorts, this and that"
    "I love them songs"

    Etc.
