No friends :(

Im a shy guy really, I dropped out of uni, and I dont have any friends here at home. I have ONE friend from college whos at uni and I barely speak to.

In my job I cant seem to get along with everyone, I hate to use the phrase but theyre all 'chavs' and loud and confident, I did take up the offer of going pub with them a few weeks ago and they all did cocaine in the toilets :|. Im just not like that.

Weekends are so horrible for me cos thats the time everyone looks forward to to be with their friends and I have noone:frown:

ALtho Im quiet Im a friendly guy I like to think, what can I do to make friends?

Well if you were anywhere near me, I'd say come out with me and my mates one time.

But seen as that is unlikely I'd say you mgith need to find some new hobby or passtime in which you can try and meet people...easier said than done though...

Hope you find some people you like who you can be friends with :biggrin:

hmm i think you need to find ppl with similar interests to u, not like the ppl takin coccaine! u cant expect to always get on with every1 and like everything about every1. join more clubs to boost ure confidence levels so that u feel more comfortable around people. This wont happen overnight, but ure not alone. There are so many ppl out there who have problems being themselves around ppl. Remember theres nothin wrong with u!:biggrin:
p.s. hope this helps:biggrin:

what is your job?? is there a particular reason you dropped out of uni? maybe if you got a degree then you would be able to get a job with people who aren't "chavs". and if you went to uni then you will make friends. there are so many people that there will some that you will like. im interested to hear why you dropped out . . .
yeah maybe take up a new hobby or something, there's a lot of people in your situation too.

I hate it when people say join clubs or get a hobby, theres NOTHING in my town like that at all. I work until 5 every night so would love to have somethin to go to after but theres nothin here, no night classes or anything like that.

My main interests are music and film :s not the easiest thing to use as a hobby etc to meet people.

I dropped out of uni cos I hated my course.

Could you not reapply to University? I'm sure there is more than one course or one university you could apply to. There probably is the right course outthere for you somewhere and going back to university would give you the opportunity to try and make some new friends.

where do u live? I will be ur buddy .. on msn of course.. if u want to add me, my msn is on my profile :smile:
I was just about to come in this forum to do an anonymous post about how I don't have any friends, and never had any.

Don't worry about it, there's no point really, it will only make you feel worse.

I used to care and it made me really sad, but I don't care anymore. I just get on with life.

find hobbies which you will enjoy, and find out how to enjoy time with yourself.

"Trying" to make friends will only make you seem desperate and no one wants to be friends with someone emotionally needy, so you need to come to terms with yourself before you can truly make real friendships. However, I wouldn't take my advice, I've had friends so my observations aren't worth much :redface:

University isn't for everyone!

And i know you're not advocating it, but choosing to go to university, primarily in ambition to meet people, join societies and make new friends....dodgy move. It's central that you do a course you enjoy...if there's nothing out there drawing in special interest, it's not a particularly healthy thing sticking in some context that you despise...that has knock-on effects on the social side of things et cetera.....there are plenty of things he can be doing extra-curricular wise, he doesn't need to be in education to have a social life. I know i'm stating the bleeding obvious, but you can ALSO have a cracking time/social life without being at university.

Edit,
NB: I started writing this post prior to ANON's last post being posted.

So, OP is going to university. I hope it works out well for you, just try and be yourself, that's my best advice, and get involved in activities/interests/sports that you are good at, ejoy etc....GOOD LUCK!

I don't think your replies are really helping him dude
Try to focus on uni, Iknow thats faraway but you'll make so many mates there hopefully. As for now, do things you enjoy, if you're happy in yourself you might learn to enjoy being on your own?
Sorry I'm not much use

Well I tried to give him advice, isn't that help enough?

Plenty of people have no friends. He's hardly in a unique position.

Don't worry if you're a shy guy... I like being friends with shy boys they tend to be very sweet. Sorry to hear ur not getting on with the guys from work, I wouldn't worry too much about that they sound difficult. I think it's great that you're going to go back to uni. There will be lots of people of all kinds there you're bound to find some that you get along with. Don't pretend to be someone else when you are there, have a bit of belief in yourself, remind yourself of your positive qualities and that should give you more self confidence. As long as you're a positive bloke who believes in himself people will respect you and I'm sure you'll make new friends!
