Friends, who needs them?
Speaking as someone who literary has 0 friends (not counting you beautiful TFP people!) I can see the importance of them, but how about all of you guys?
Do you have many semi close friends?
A few really good friends?
One best friend?
I feel like I am missing out on something by not having people to hang out with, someone to call when something cool happens, someone to do shit with... etc..
I have had all of the above at one point or another, but here lately, as in the past 3 years or so, I have lost friend after friend from moving away (them and me), breakups with girls who were friends of my friends, and general losing touch. I am not the kind of person who makes friends easily, but when I do, I am very loyal and a great person to hang out with (well, I think anyways...).
It just feels like I am missing a large part of life. Example: When I broke up with my last girlfriend, I didn't really have that "buddy support system" that most people do. You know the "hey, you can do better, lets go get a drink and find you a new girl!" that kind of thing. I just kind of languished by myself for a few months. It sounds petty and it probably is, but it would be cool to be able to call someone up and say "hey, lets go blow $300 at the casino!" and actually have someone to call, or any activity really.
I have always heard, "Be the friend you want make"... I try, although it seems like making friends for me is like that creepy single guy trying to hit on married women. I always feel like an outcast... seeing everything going on from the outside looking in.
I saw Clerks 2 (again) a week or two ago, and it didn't hit me the first time I saw it, but Randal's little speech when they are in the jail cell at the end of the movie
pretty much sums it up; "Who would be friends with me? I hate everyone and everything seems stupid to me."
At least Randal had Dante...
Maybe I am over-reacting, but it seems like everyone else I know or have ever know has had "people".
I have no people.
