OP, I feel the same as you do mate.
I've tried, really really tried to get involved with new people and make new friends. But the sad fact of it is that I've been screwed over by everyone I've ever been friends with.
I'm not a people person because when people get to know me, they realise that I have a few "key skills" that are very useful (I work in IT) and from then on I just become a number to call when a computer is broken, or when I can do something else for them. I don't actually remember the last time someone just wanted to hang out with me.
So eventually, I've just stopped looking.
This is so sad this has happened to you. But I agree, people are just so apathetic and indifferent to anyone but themselves, they think of thir own gains and itnerests and if you dont fit that need, they indeed, screw you over. Im trying hard to be positive about it but its really hard. I really dislike people these days

same here, I'm just sick of other people to be honest. Ive been lied to, treated like honeysuckle so many times. So many horrible people at work, I used to like them but it's like everything I say - they just argue with. And they think they are right all the time ! A year ago I was always sending messages on facebook or on my mobile. Now I don't at all. People lie, they talk behind my back, they stitch me up, drop me in the honeysuckle. People get in touch with me just to use me for something. Ive had enough. I just keep myself to myself and I am happy doing that.
I have my family and a few people who I play golf with and that's it. Ive got loads of customers mostly who I chat to and I enjoy it but I'm not close to any of them.
Duff, apart from my fmaily and one good friend. Im EXACTLY the same. I too, have my customers but wouldnt dare to get close to anyone. People ahve crossed me so many times. Im on the vere of ahtin people, but to avoid hate, because it is strong, I just choose to dislike many and not 'get involved'. Most people are just brainwashed sheep who have contributed to the mess of this country (uk) by beleivin the liar politicians and doing absolutely NOTHING to helps others and themselves from our arrodin freedoms and civil liberties. Grrr.. :club:

Yes, things are a lot harder to meet friends now a day, especially true friends. And be able to trust them. When I was younger, I had so many friends and was very social. But overtime I was bullied and picked on people people and started to socially withdrawn from people cause I was always scared of being judged. Now I'm nervous to talk to anyone in person, I normally talk to people through message boards now. Mainly cause I can't go up to people and start a conversation with them. Plus I have a hard time trusting anyone cause I've been hurt so much already in my life.
aww Wallflower I know exactly how this feels. I am getting to talk to people less and less because like you, Im fed up of and scared of bein judged. Sometiems, I wish I could turn back the clock you know? seems like its gettin shitter :\ People nowadays just dont seem worth it, as hard as it is to say that. I used to be such a strong person but thats fading rapidly too. I am so drained.
