LOnelygirl, i know were your comming from!
I happen to be very friendly, and in the past attracted friends easily, i just bravely thought, talk geez whats the worst they can do, this was when i was at college,but sadly my life changed so bad, ive either lost touch with good friends,but this really hurts!,my so called best friends turned on me when i moved,and i found out that my so called best friend who i saved from bully hell!said horrible things about me behind my back, i found that out from another close friend,and i felt so betrayed, i truly created a monster!
I would say what hurts worse then never having a friend,is having a best friend that could turn on you so easily!, i knew her for 9 years but she turned out to be a jealous *****,real friends are happy for you!
I dont know anyone here in Gloucester and i hate it here, i sometimes wonder anymore why i bother,i dont know if im even happy anymore with my bf,he is not the greatest of company,because he likes to be a loner,although he is always reminding me that if it was not for him, i would not have found out how false my so called friends really were, but truth hurts i guess!, God im so depressed right now,i feel like ive lost a part of my life i will never have back
Jeremi, its true you can find some friends at work, but when i used to work, they only wanted me if i would get drunk with them!, i didnt want that,and so i only went out with the work girls once,they were bad news,and then work was crap and i got laid off, my life sucks,i dont work at all now,but i dont know if i can cope anymore for health reasons,I have been battling agoraphobia for many years!

The problem is that most people have friends that they're satisfied with, so they're not really searching for new friends. We often have to take the first step, and that's not easy. That's very brave of you what you did. I'm sorry it didn't worked out =(
If you have a work where you can talk with other people, that's a good place to meet new people. I found a friend at work, but she moved, and we don't have any contact anymore.
