Top 10 Worst Things About Having No Friends

The Top Ten
You have no one to talk to

At least you're making a list like this one. It's a start. Even if you think nobody wants to talk or listen to you, there are always people who do. The difficult part is meeting them, but like they say, "After rain comes sunshine." And it often comes when you least expect it.

I feel misunderstood. I just want someone who understands me.

My best friend is me talking to myself in my head. Yup, sounding like an edgy loner.

You become even sadder

Nothing is eternal in life. Sometimes you can get so sad that you lose hope. When that happens, it feels like this emotional state will last forever. Before you can make or even want to try to make friends, you should first try to get rid of this lack of hope. Only then will you be ready to give and receive friendship.

The difficulty lies in figuring out how to overcome your lack of hope and sadness. There is no real formula for that, as everyone has a different way of solving this problem. I personally try to read classic Greek philosophy (especially Plato) because it sometimes gives me hopeful answers to questions about love and friendship that I don't understand. That's one way I help myself, but like I said, it can be something else for someone else. Just be aware that it will take time, but one day, it will bring you the happiness you seek. Even if you don't believe it now, it will happen.

You get anxiety meeting other people

If you feel anxiety about meeting people, it proves that you are a truly emotional and honest person. Someone out there (and believe me, such people exist) who can understand this and knows it is a potential friend.

Your social anxiety will be understood and forgiven when you talk to someone with this kind of knowledge. Sometimes it's the other person who will approach you (those people do exist).

I have friends, and I still suffer from this. You can message me if you want to talk about it, PrincessKiana - I kinda understand where you're coming from.

You have no one with the same interests

Maybe you should confide in someone you think you can trust and explain your problems. If they don't care, they would never have been a friend. But if they care and listen, it could be the start of a friendship.

It's easier said than done, but if you don't try, you'll never know. To receive, you have to give.

I'm a teen girl who collects Pokémon cards, plays Minecraft and other video games, and hates makeup. Since most of the other teen girls in my local area are makeup-obsessed, I feel left out.

You feel insecure

In my case, other people thought I was insecure, but the truth is that I'm just brutally honest with my opinions. That's why they mistook it as a sign of insecurity.

Having no friends is one of the worst, most lonely feelings in the world.

You have no one to pair up with for projects

When the teacher tells you to divide into groups, and you have no one to pair with, so you end up working with the teacher - it's literally the most embarrassing feeling in the world.

Whenever that happened in class, I'd just end up working alone. And I didn't mind that... too much.

You have no one to make you happy

I understand the need to express your feelings to someone. The difficult part is finding the right person who understands and listens. If you're shy, it will most likely be another shy individual who becomes that person.

Since we're talking about shy people, it's certain that it will take time, but like attracts like (and I mean that in a good way). This connection happens in life as if by a kind of magnetic power.

You have no one to go places with

I'd love to do fun things like go to the movies and stuff, with someone other than my parents or siblings.

You become less social

It is hard, but eventually, you will find somebody! One thing I learned is that friendships don't just come to you like magic. You have to put effort into them too!

You got this!

I don't think it makes you less social (there is no social communication or connection, so how can it be social?), but I think it makes you more shy and lonely. This makes you feel like you're not a social person but a loner.

The good thing is that loners tend to think a lot, which usually makes them stronger. They learn better than anyone else who's fake and who's not. Once they try to become more social with the right people, they often thrive.

You have no one to play games with

I love this list. You totally speak the truth and what comes from your heart, Kiana.
