i’m not allowed to go out much at all, all my attempts at making friends has involved me knocking on neigbours doors and most turn out to be asylum seekers who either dont stay long or cant understand english, definately cant go see a band, its frowned up in our culture :( actually pretty ,much everything is against culture lol apart from stuff i am not interested in, there was a womens sewing class i joined once but that ended in disaster, i mentioned to a woman there that i went to see iron maiden once and another religous lady started blasting me about being an infidel blah blah and she attacked me with words and it was so bad i didn’t mention my interests to anyone again, also i did make a friend but she kept telling me i am doing bad things coz i read tarot cards….. i just dont have any luck finding friends in real….. there must be some out there but for now, no reach apart from on net lol

Go to France. Or the UK. Or Italy. Or India. You’ll like India. Good people every block. Of course, there are bastards every block, too. That’s with any country.

i think the problem here is that we all get along and meet so many different people online but in real life its hard to even talk to someone, when i smile at strangers they normally give me funny looks and none of my neighbours come to my house even though i been to theres a few times and then i gave up too when there was no reciprocation

If you want to meet people closer to where you live then maybe you should either find a club or after school things you can do or ook for websites in your area, the thing with the internet is that it’s meant for connecting people from all over the world together.
But I do know what you mean, there are alot of nice people here :)

I don’t blame you after getting results like that lol
maybe try a different way instead, likeasking at your school for any information on after school groups and trips? Or if they know of a safe website for the things you are after?

last time i went to my sons school to a class for women the leader ended up taking me in and asking my problems and next thing i know she was trying to force me to become a christian and she made me run away from home by poisoning my mind about my husband just because he doesn’t happen to be a christian, lucky i got my wits back in time (also that teh women at the shelter were drug addicts and all kinds of weird stuff so i came back home)

Dang, thats just not right. People here are nice though, but I also know a lot of really nice people who live and work near or with me so I guess I’m just lucky that way.

I know how you feel. But good people are around. I just found this site, and it amazes me that these people are even around at all. You’ll find some good friends. Oddly, one of my very best friends is in Chicago now. I guess it doesn’t matter how far away they are so long as they are there at all.
