Never mind friends for right now. Is there anyone here who has no, or no cantact with family? I'm a 22yr female and I having a hard time without family to fall back on or call on. The world is a scarry place right now. My friends used to be my family 2yrs ago. But a few severe mental breakdowns and one bad relationship later. I am friendless AND familyless. Can anyone out there relate? Does having no family greatly incresse your risk of having no friends? I am envious of people with large, close, caring families. I see them together and feel more alone.

I have no family.  It really sucks.  I have no REAL friends either.  I've gotten used to being on my own, but I can hardly say I enjoy it.  I too am slightly envious of people with loving caring families, and i get so mad at people who complain about their families over the smallest, most trivial things.  They are lucky they don't know what it's like to not have any family.  I don't know if the fact of having no family greatly increases the risk of having no friends or not.  The people I hang out with I wouldn't call real friends, but my lack of real friends has more to do with my personality and shyness than having no family.  I think there's a saying, family is forever, true friends are hard to find.  It's true.  True friendship is rare.  If I at least had one true friend I wouldn't feel so alone.  If I had some family, having no true friends probably wouldn't feel as bad.  
I'm sorry to hear of your situation.  Take heart though, you're not alone.
