My social life could be a lot better - I could use more friends & a BF.

But it's not that easy; I could never get out there and be sociable and outgoing.

I can completely relate to the first part - I have some good friends around my area but not enough.
 
since i just moved here like 2 weeks ago i don't really have one yet... but i am not worried about it till i get into my real apartment... before i moved here i had a decent one... but my friends would never forget stuff about my attitude... they never changed opinions towards me for the like 6 or 7 years i knew most of them they still treated me like i was 15 or 16 as far as my attitude goes...
 
douseiai: I've lost friends before because of my attitude but that's been ages ago..but I would have to really piss my friends off for them to change their opinions about me, which is a good thing.
 
well its just when i was a teenager i was really weird... it took me a while to really get the filter in my brain to work :p when i was around 18 or 19 i really stopped being so weird and took on more serious tones... my friends didn't believe me and would really act all weird when i was serious and out of "character"... and now with the recent situation i really had to grow up in a week... which i did and now my friends are all weirded out because i am acting all mature about stuff... which because they all either live at home or in dorms (with allowances of abbout $300 a week from parents) none of them are really that mature... they just think they are.. *shrug*
 
I have a very good group of friends here, unfortunately we are not able to get together as much as any of us would like. For me it is just that I am either running to or from some sort of medical appointment or just too exhausted after work. For them, many are balancing jobs, school and relationships. We do email and call often, but we do not have the face to face interaction that I would like. The last time I saw one of my friends was when he was doing a stip tease during the showing of "The Full Monty" at a small reperatory theater on the cape.
 
I used to have an active social life when I was well. Other than family, JUB is my social life right now. I can't say it's bad. Without it I would be isolated.
 
I hate my social life and don't have any friends. It's not like I don't try to get out and meet people (I actually met a lot of people in college), but many of those that I do meet, stop hanging out with me or turn their backs on me when they find another group of people. So I'm now somewhat relectant to trust anyone, but everyone seems to be backstabbing and out for their own good. :(
 
e2ksj3: In the past few weeks, you wouldn't believe the amount of "friends" I've had who've resorted to backstabbing tactics.

I can completely identify with you (here, have a *hug*), I've been reluctant to trust anyone.

It seems that most people are out for themselves. A small minority aren't, but just try to find them.
 
My social life seems to be a bit too social lately! I am looking forward to a quiet evening at home tonight....maybe a glass of wine...a dip in the hot tub....and bed early!
 
We have many couple friends and we maintain our single friends as well. Our social calendar is usually full and we always joke that we are making plans for months out...Sometimes it is hard work and sometimes I just want to stop and lay around watching Lifetime in my pajamas all day or making love all day. We have those days too.

I love my job and although I struggle sometimes with getting everything done, I am satisfied that it gives me the time I need to lead my life. I get time off for vacations and personal time.

I think it comes with age. We can afford to go to dinner, the theatre, weekend at bed and breakfasts and road trips...we also love to entertain at home...so, yeah, I am satisfied with my social life.
 
I don't really have one. I'm trying to get out more, though. Basically, you guys are my social life lol
 
My best friend died about a year and a half ago. Made a new friend...he moved away (we still talk but it is not the same). I am not putting myself out there again. I mean how much heartbreak can one person survive?

Please know that I completely understand and identify with you, though our situations aren't the same. I personally have lost some good friends (or those who I thought were my friends) and they completely did a 180 and betrayed me. It's made me a bit less trusting, for sure.
 
I would have to say yes. I have a few close friends who are like family to me, and I'm very grateful for them. I spent all my 20's and half my 30's with ZERO social life, so it has improved in the last several years.
To those who say they don't have friends or a social life, I say if you want it...go out and find it. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can.



:-)
 
I completely understand; I didn't have much of a social life when I was growing up, nor in my teens, not until my mid-20's.

"go out and find a social life" is only easy to those of us who are outgoing. To those of us who weren't blessed with many people skills (except online in my case), that's not as easy.

I can empathize with those who are introverted, I am one of them. I don't have good people skills. But, when you are amongst people, if you open up, just a little to someone who takes interest, you can make a friend. Or, find an activity you enjoy and join a group of some sort. I just wanted to say being introverted/shy does not mean you cannot have a social life and make friends.

No, it doesn't. I wasn't implying that at all. It just makes it a lot harder.

That was my point, and I apologise if I didn't make myself clear (I thought I did).

I find people easier to talk to on the net. In person, I feel like they're judging me or whatever..I'm generally ignored in real life (of course with so much emphasis placed on how a person looks, I can understand why - society is so bloody shallow). I don't like talking to people in person (see above). If someone talks to me first, that's a lot easier.

Anyway, that's what I meant.
