By (user no longer on site) OP
over a year ago

Was listening to the radio earlier, (pop master), gets to the end were the guy gets to do some shout outs to friends and family, and he said he didn't have anyone

, So got me thinking maybe there's fabbers hanging around the forums wanting to make friends, So if you're out there, come say, Hi, Hello or even Howdy

I don't have any friends. Not close friends at least. Not a gang of friends, not a best friend. Haven't for a long time and I'm fine with that.

I have people I'd hang around with, and have a laugh with but not on a regular basis. And not people I'd share certain things with.

I was much more of a lurker until recently, kind of easing my way in slowly. Plenty of mates in the real world but only 1 or 2 here that I chat with regularly. It's always nice making the acquaintance of new people though. You've a lovely profile and a wicked smile....

Yes it's exactly like that. I'm not against having friends in that I push away or actively avoid them or anything like that. It is just how it plays out.

Joining Fab as I did not long before Lockdown 1, I've been spectacularly unlucky in terms of both opportunities to meet folk and form Fab friendships. Now if anyone looks at my profile, because I have been on here for over a year now, they'd understandably think I'm either a weirdo or a fake. Ho hum

I think you'll be OK. We've all been in the same situation.

Tbh - they'd probably think you a weirdo if you had met new people during 'covid'.

Good luck.

I listen to pop master every day in the van and I'd struggle to fill the 30sec afterwards giving a shout out , I've got mates at work, but only acquaintances and family out of work like my bro and both my daughter's partners and I'm happy with that, it means I get to do my own thing and not worry about organising when we can meet up

Lifes departure lounge NN9 Northamptonshire East not West MidlandsMidlands

I am of an age where my circle of friends gets smaller every year, I received a call only yesterday telling me that a good friend of mine in the States had passed away at the age of 79 he had been planning to make one final visit to see me later in the year.

Trouble is at my age and being on my own friends tend to start fussing over me, when they visit they start tidying the house, asking if I need any shopping doing, asking if I am eating properly and so on.

I have very few friends on Fab however, but that seems to have increased a little over the past few months.

Same for me, I always floated around friends groups when I was younger, and most of my 'friends' as I've got older have mostly been more colleagues as I moved away from my hometown, I don't have that one person even I could go to if I needed them

I’m pretty much a loner, I have two friends who I see sporadically, and that’s ok with me. I don’t think there’s anything wrong with that - some folk just aren’t sociable. I’m pretty lame at keeping in touch. I get overwhelmed by long messages. I chat to certain folk on here sporadically and that is fine with me. Friends (kind of) but with distance. Perfect.

You know, I had some feedback from someone recently that I don't have any friends because I'm not very likeable. It's one of those things you want to shrug off, but kinda hits true as I don't have many friends. I'd like to have more, I try to be nice, but there's just something about me that puts others off.

I'm hoping that's changing as I've met some amazing people on these forums recently, but hoping to continue to talk to more.

This will sound sad but I don't have any friends. I'm friendly with the people I work with, but they're all women so not really mates.

Others have drifted away over the years.

Others I would class as acquaintances, but nobody anywhere near close.

I have a small group of online friends , all women and all far away.
