friends help: I feel like I have no friends, even though I do. - Help.com

I feel like I have no friends, even though I do.

It’s hard to describe, but more or less, I just feel like I can’t find anybody, even among my friends that I can actually relate to and share common interests with. I’m not going to lie, I’m a completely different person, depending on which friend I’m hanging out with, I feel kind of like the guy that everybody gets along with, but nobody is all that close to. Honestly, I’d be exuberant if I could have a complete clone of myself, I mean, I wouldn’t be able to find somebody I could relate to better. It’s not like I want my friends to be exactly like me, and follow my way of thinking, I just wish I wasn’t so different from them. Guhh, that’s my rant.

This can help you develop and grow much further than if you were content with everything.

I have never met anyone whom i connected fully with. There is always parts here and there.
It makes me able to relate to almost everyone i meet regardless. And i do like that ability.

I think having friends in different groups is a really good thing, but it is difficult not having a truly good friend. They don’t have to be that similar to you, my best friend is almost the complete opposite of me. Our relationship is really funny because we’re so different, it’s probably one of the main reasons that we love each other so much. She teaches me, and I teach her. Our differences make our friendship so much better and more fun.

Being different can be really great sometimes. It’s kind of like milk and oreos.. in a way.. they’re both very different, but there are certain similarities (cream?) and together, they make.. magic?
That was pretty bad, but hopefully you kind of get it…

Mehh, it just causes a really deep feeling of loneliness, well, in its own little way.

I understand a bit, I have a few other good friends, but they are all far away. I’m sorry, I was hoping that would help you maybe realize that one of your current friends could be a really great friend.

Maybe try doing your favorite things alone, and see if you meet people that are similar to you?
I know it can be extremely hard to make new friends, but.. it’s worth a try?
Taking some classes could help, how old are you?

It’s cool, I understand, I’m 17 so I go to school, that’s where I’ve met most of my friends.

So I’m guessing you haven’t started college? That’s good! You’ll meet a lot of different people in college! I’m sure you won’t like all of them, but it’s something to look forward to.

Be happy, when you start college or working you’ll find new friends, and probably some of them will be more like you, I have worse - I have many friends, but all of them are guys, and all of them have girlfriends, or other things to worry about, so I really haven’t got a clue how to find one for myself, because I don’t have anyone with whom to go to clubs or places to meet girls, I’ve tried internet, but that really didn’t help (you can see why in my posted topics), and I’m really too shy, it just drives me crazy, and I’m 22, so.. But for you - you can try to go to some new social places, meet people, maybe you find new friends, or to sign up for football, basketball or anything like that, where you can meet new people.
