Anybody got no friends at all?

I'm 24, I've been through school, college and now have a job but somehow i've ended up with no friends. The only social interaction I have is with my family and work colleagues. This has never bothered me that much but it bothers me that others seem to pity me now. I've had what I suppose were friends in school and college but they had no interest in keeping in contact with me. How do I make friends who really enjoy my company.

I have friends but they hardly ever spend anytime with me.

I don't really have any friends either. All I have are like school friends, people I see only in school, and not outside of it. I hardly even say a word with them though. I never do anything on the weekends either, I just sit around wishing something will happen. Yeah me too, I just want like one real good friend who I can count on and who will enjoy my company.

there is no step by step guide on how to make mates who wanna go out with you. alot of time its just a case of gettin on with someone and giving them a call when u wanna go out do something and them doing the same to you.
its hard when u have sa, because it aint as simple as picking up the phone...but thats what happens.

Hi, this is my first post.
I too have no friends. It's been that way for a long time. Since high school. I'm 26.
I've had many opportunities to make friends in instances where I was part of a group of people that were strangers to each other. Sometimes I have tried, and failed, other times just observed.
Even though I know they are strangers, it always seems that after 5 - 10 minutes they all know each other - to the point you'd think they always knew each other.
I never survive further than that first awkward 5 minutes of introductions.
Other people always seem to have something to talk about, something in common. That thing is their friends. They talk about what they did with their friends or their friend's friend. They get frequent exposure to meeting new people (friend's of friends etc), but they aren't alone when they do it.
I don't have that. It makes it as near impossible to make friends as it would be to open a savings account if you have to deposit at least 100k.

I don't have any friends in 'real life,' but I don't really have a life to begin with! I do have like, three friends that I know from the internet though. I only talk to one of them frequently though, and one of them is almost never online. But I dunno, online-friends are good enough for me ^^;

I have many friends, but only one TRUE friend that I can talk to about stuff and be myself with.

I have plenty of aquaintances but noone I can rly be myself around and actually talk to properly (apart from one guy maybe). Anyone else push people trying to be friendly away then regret it when they stop bothering?
