This is true if it were upto me i would live at the arse end of earth just to get away from so called friends, 9 times outta 10 they just shit in ya face anyway so why bother?

oh thanks some body that listens for once yea its pretty true its pretty funny that such a young age for me and already understand things in life most kids my age think its all fun and games till they see whats next life i mean yea you can fun but kids take it too far and don't really understand thing

lol
im 19 and i know my best friend since 19 years
i dont have this problem :P

no one really needs friends they dont have.

And when you dont have friends its better if youre aware you dont.

I think thats what you ment to say.

its ok. your a probably an unsocial loser with no friends. dont try to make excuses like "i dont need friends" everybody should have people they can trust and talk to, other than family. like i have 2 best friends and the rest are just people who im friends with. gossip starts when you tell the people other than your BEST friends.so go be independant and try to act strong. but in the end, everybody needs someone they can turn to.

ok im not insocial i have ppl wanting to be my friend but i'd rather not have any. my family has been there my entire life. No one knows me more and understands me more than my family. and i bet u sooner or later ur bffs will fight and no longer be friends. if ur "friends" start gossip about u then they rn't ur friends. and if ur not good w/ ur family. that just sux for u. but family is just not mom and dad and siblings its also ur extended family such as grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc., etc.

Look out I'm going to quote the Bible, this may be a first for this site. "Two in a bed warm each other. Alone, you shiver all night. By yourself you're unprotected. With a friend you can face the worst. Can you round up a third? A three-stranded rope isn't easily snapped." Ecclesiastes 4:11-12 Somehow I get the feeling that isn't going to convince anybody, but I had to put it up anyway.

I dont agree at all

ok listen up you little shitbrick!
what im saying is that in a persons lifetime, they usually have a few good friends that they can trust and talk to about whats going on in there life. its completely your choice.
yes i talk to my cousins too, and i have a good relationship with ALL of my family, but it doesnt mean i would go spilling all my secrets to them. because EVERYONE, not just your friends can gossip.
and what about hanging out? you dont like being around people who interest you? i dont get it! how does someone not want to be frinedly with poeple?
and so you turn down people who want to be your friend. thats nice, that shows that you are stuck up and unfriendly. do you think you too good for them?
what ever i could care less what goes on in your pathetic little life with no friends. your just going to end up a miserable old fcuk with no one to talk to.

DLG's on a role. Everyone needs someone. So I'll be ur friend.

I give free hugs. ;)

I believe you need friends when your young you need to interact with people to learn about life and yourself as you get older it is not so important but definately when your young

im not stuck up and im probably the most friendliest person you would ever know this is what america is all about isn't it?! everybody needs a friend? i don't think so people need to learn things about by themselves not always being babied around by others people need to stand up for themselves and become more indepentant. i think so anyways and No noone has the interests as me .everybody here wants to party and smoke crack well im sorry i have never see such disgusting cockroaches like americans but oh well its my opinion all you need is family i mean some people like retards need but why even have retards just kill they are worthless. i had many friends i just don't choose to keep them cause either way i would get it trouble but i won't go there

oh i see, so you had a bad experience with old friends and now you go around saying you dont need new friends.
doesnt your family thinkn its a little weird that you dont have any friends?
honestly i would be a bit concerned if my kid said they dont have friends and dont want any.
and your not being friendly if you keep on turning down friendships, thats the whole point of being friendly with people. wow you must live a sad little life if you dont talk to anybody from school or work, or whatever it is you do.
so like i said before, fine go be an unfrienldy bastard, then when you get old your not gunna have anyone to talk to cuz your family will be gone, and you'll just be a sad little person.

learn to be your own best friend cause youll know that you can never turn your back on your self. um pretty much my family is like me and me and my family are not miserable. and alot of people like us but we don't like them because they are to immature to talk too.

and your exactly why i don't want friends especially the way you talk.

your a sad little person

and if you dont want to make friends, the way your acting, you'll probably make a lot of enemies. when you look back at your life years from now, your going to wish you mad friends with someone. i dont get it though, how do you not want a friend. dont you want to hang out on the weekends and go see movies, and have sleepovers, and parties. how can you go without friends?
and you never answered my question

" had many friends i just don't choose to keep them cause either way i would get it trouble but i won't go there"

what was that all about. bad experience?

im not trying to be mean or anything i just don't like friends and my opinon and don't think i need any friends i mean you could do enough things with your family i could say its the same thing as having a sister maybe its because i say i don't need friends because when i was lil i never had any cuz most kids thought i was a lil weird cause i loved bugs and ghosts and i would tell other lil kids that ghosts follow them everywhere so probably thats why i just never had social skills and its never any fun when i did have friends. and when i said that its because when i had friends like 2 yrs ago i thought they were 2 best friends but i found out they gossiped about me and tried to beat the shit out of me for no reason cuz they thought they were the biggest toughest b*tches there. idk im just saying its my opinon.

well having a sister would be like havin a close friend.some one you can always go to for help or advice,and someone who will always be there for you. i dont have any sister, but my sister in law is one of my best friends, ive known her for 8 years, so i understand what you mean. but at school i also have a best friend, who would never tell anything i told her, to anyone. friendship is based on trust so you have to be careful who you make friends with. REAL friends would never gossip about you, or talk about you behind your back,or try to change you,or pressure you into things. you just have to make friends with the right people.
sounds like those girls were really shitty friends. not good people. but that doesnt mean there anrent good people out there. you just have to be careful who you trust. girls can be really catty sometimes and stab you in the back, but a friend would never do that. so i understand where your coming from. but its never too late to make a new friend.
in most cases, i hate to say it but its true, in most cases its the preppy atention grabbers who are the snotty fake friends. or like yu said the girls who think they're hott shit. sometime the quiet shy people are easy to talk to and friendly. maybe you could make good friends with some one like that.

yea your right but but ever since i went through a couple experiences like that i don't really trust alot of people. and another why i don't make friends is because actually im the very very shy one i mean i can't even dress the way i want cuz i think people are going to look at me i hate any kind of attention.. but i think it might be cuz i was always a home body so yea. and plus i live in a small town where every one knows everyone.

me too. i live in a small town and everyone knows eachother, but that doesnt mean i get along with everybody. well you should be able to dress how ever you want. what do you care about what they say. i could realy care less about what the people i dont like think about me. no matter where you go in life, there will always be people trying to hurt you, but there will also be people to help you. i'll admit, its hard to build self confidence when there are no positive commments being made, but you should feel comfortable enough in your own skin to do the things you want to do, what difference does it make. so i guess its just a matter of who you trust, and its hard to trust people you donr know,especially when youve already had to deal with a lot of shit before. so if i were you, i would try to find some one like yourself, cuz there are other people who feel the same way, but dnt know how to aproach the situation. it depends on what your into, art, music, sports. maybe you could start talking to some one you think could be a friend. i mean you never know who you'll be best friends with, it just happens, so im sure you'll know who you could at least want to be friends with.

i feel that way too. you should only have a small group of friends and barely tell them anything important.

People in general are jealous, competitive, annoying, self centered and boring. Even your "friends" really aren't friends. That's just life. I can do without just about everyone.

LOL, yes you need friends. I would rather tell my friends I masturbate 2 times a week than to tell my mother that!

Ive also rather tell my friends I was an active bisexual from ages 4-11 than tell my parents that.

Although Internet is so much easier to say things like that, It gets hard to talk to friends like that (but impossible to talk to parents)

Have friend but not too many. Should find someone that you really trust. I have one friend that I really trust her. She's like my sister. I rather tell my secrets to my friends than my family. Sometimes I try to tell them my thoughts. They think I'm weird.

you people dont see the truth...

its not about friends...

its not about family...

its about YOURSELF.

in the end, the probability is, if something like the holocaust were to happen, ur family would betray you to save themselves.

anyone who read Night by Elie Wiesel would see this.

not saying you shouldnt be loving and caring to the people you associate with, just in the end, you really have nobody.

to the original statement "you dont need friends", you can live without them, but its much better to have friends and connections. humans are social beings and thus we need connections with other humans in order to be successful.

you know what? just sit home and masturbate, jesus you guys. Life is short. Go squeeze one off. Having friends is better tho cause you can do it with them

I understand how you feel.A lot of friends can seem OK for a while,but many will let you down eventually,usually over something very trivial.If your lucky enough to have a good family make the most of it.They wont let you down.

Here are some exceptions: Childhood friend, Sisters friend although the outcome of that could be devastating.... or good, and a dog. Also it's human nature to group in packs wherever you are. Unless you are a lion.
