ive... got... no... friends...

my best friend broke up with his girlfriend recently. over me.

after a while i started seeing her, i;d always liked her and she me. unfortunatly it ended miserably. and now i find my self with all my former friends hating me; or at least unable to hang out with me. it;s my own fault, i shouldnt have went where i did.

now im screwed. im facing a summer alone. i will most probably go insane.

what should i do?

try to make some new mates? where?

Wait untill Freshers, it should all take it's course from there, you should meet at least one person you connect with, amidst all the drunkeness and debauchery.

My problem isn't lack of friends, it's finding a time when more than two of us can meet. Very rarely is there a time when at least two of us are working or whatever, and it can get fustrating sometimes...

Who cares? Wait till uni - change the people you talk to. Clearly they were not friends anyway...

i guess so. i'll just drown my self in self pity until uni....
its just miserable, these few months are sposed to be the best of my life.

its my own doing tho, i guess.
At least you accept that. Don't mope though. Get out and talk to randoms, meet new people, have some fun, all that jazz. You've already lost all your friends, so burn your bridges with style and tell everyone EXACTLY waht you think of them.

your absolutly right. its probably a good philosphy to take. the thing is, everybodies still realy cool with me when were alone, its just theres a pressure not to like me. i suppose its not worth fretting over, if ther'ye that spineless.

Bull**** it is of your own doing. Do not be like that - that is just pathetic. Go find some new people. Go out somewhere with someone - go to some clubs etc.. If you go on holiday, meet some new people - have some fun...
You could get a job? Your'll get well-needed money for Uni and interact a lot with people/ probably make new friends / not go insane.

thts good. now u can openly lay ur best mates x


:rofl:
When you're in the pub, just talk to someone new. Make a (positive) comment on what they're drinking or something. Wherever you are, just talk to random people.

the easiest way to make friends (and stay busy through the summer) is to get a job. As Biffy said you could probably do with the money for uni aswell

He's not at university yet - chances are he doesn't go to the pub.

OP: I know this sounds daft, but things normally sort themselves out. Openly slagging people off, as has been suggested, is bad. Your friends probably just want to keep away from you while the subject is a fresh one. People will start talking to you again. Just keep quiet for a bit, then start talking to your friends that weren't directly involved. Otherwise - make some better friends. They should understand that if you both like each other (not if you're just perverted or trying to steal her and she's not interested, of course, but it sounds like that's not the case) there is a lot of temptation there.

Out of interest, and since you're anonymous, what did you actually do with this girl... and how long did the affair (I assume?) go on... and how serious was she about the other guy? Just to give us an idea of how bad it actually was.

Invite some people out. Start off on their own, then in small groups, or whatever feels most comfortable.

well we were seeing each other for about 3/4 months. we did everything. she had been going out with him for atleast a year and he was devestated.

i had known and liked her for a good 5 years. and despite the guilt of betraying my friend, i believed her when she said she would always love me, and thought it would be worth it.

the other guy is popular and high up in the social order, he therefore has a fair bit of influence over everyone in the crew and had an easy time persuading them not to talk to me anymore. All the blame went on my head though, and they have, incosistently, forgiven her and oestricised me, even though she was the one who made all the moves and had no qualms over hearting her ex.

at least i've learnt something from it i guess. i think the reason i liked her so much was because of her looks. from now on im def going to go for personality more than looks.

I've just had a massive falling out with my best friend but I know things will get better - they always do. Just think positive and do everything in your way to try and make things right - if that means giving them space then do it.
