Learn Gollum's routine, and do that. People love it. Or they'll just be freaked out by it.
You don't have any friends. Nobody likes you. *Gollum. Gollum!*
But master likes us! Master's our friend!
Or play the lonely card. "I don't really have any friends."
"Aww, that's so sad."
Etc etc.
That's why he doesn't need friends. 😛
(Seriously, you've got to be doing something wrong if you're losing feeling.)

Zero friends here, other than my family but that never counts of course.
I'm the type of guy that when getting seated with my wife in a restaurant, I ask to be seated away from all the ignorant people with cell phones that have no consideration for others! Oh, and dim the light and kill the blaring crap music and I'll leave a $20.00 tip!
I'm in no need of friends and can handle all situations on my own while keeping myself in good company. I can handle people, I just choose not too because most are numbnuts you know for 5min, that rattle on about thier lives as if they had known you for 10 years. STFU!!!!!! I CARE NOT!!!
I don't want to hear it and will tell you. I have to go.............. Bye!

I used to not any friends, but then i just got out more. It seems I had a lot more g/f's back then though. Now I'm stuck with one g/f, and sh|ttons of friends. I guess I just started getting out of the house more and meeting people so I didn't have to go home to the lil lady.
The way I figure it, once we reach the 'crossover point' from human biology to virtual utopia, we will have all the time in the universe to go out with friends, there will certainly be something worth doing at that point 🙂
When they ask me "wanna go out, what are you doing today?" My typical answer would be: "Preparing for the singularity, call me back in 30 years" 😀. They have no clue what that means and they never choose to ask. I'd rather not get hit by a bus or bagged by a gangsta this far into the game.

I think I would go crazy without any friends. Even though I'm an engineering grad student, the only thing that makes that remotely bareable is the opportunity to attack a problem with other really smart people -- i.e. the "social" interaction of engineering. As for friends outside of other students, I just moved to Atlanta away from all of my close friends who are still back in TX, and I repeatedly put myself in a situation where I'll be talking to new people. Of course I still keep in contact with my friends back in TX as much as possible.
I made it a rule with myself, any invitation for an event that I get, I go to. This serves two purposes: one, you get to meet new people at each event (and then you are the one selecting the people you want to be friends with and/or date (if they are female), rather than clinging to a few people who you met), and two, it makes the person who invited you feel good, and they will be much more willing to invite you to something again--who wants to feel like they have to drag someone to an event?
One thing I have found interesting though, is that I'm able to talk much more often to the girls I knew back in TX than the guys, and I'm not sure why..maybe girls are more comfortable with the phone? I never really minded talking on the phone like some guys do..

I don't mean this as an insult, I'm surprised at how anti-social some of you are. Honestly, having a bunch of really close friends is one of the best things a person could have and certainly not something that should be avoided. Ideally your friends should be almost like brothers and sisters, you shoudl be able to always trust them and count on them for help whenever you need it.
On second thought, you guys are probably just average. Perhaps poeple don't want to go through the trouble of having 'real' friends...

I have no real friends currently. My problem was I was too close to my first real girlfriend. I did everything with her, she was my best friend, and we were together for 6 years. When we broke up it was like I had no one else. That was about 4 years ago, and I have some people I know who might be friends, but not "good" friends, not yet.

Probably just average huh? No trouble here, I just plainly don't wan't friends. There is absoluteley no need. Hell, I'm likable as hell but shrug people off.
Example: My wife has friends come into town and asks: Do you want to go with me to meet them?......... No babes, I'm good. I just hate dealing with all the Bullsh** talk!
Aww, your son/daughter is so cute blah blah blah OR So how're things going with your sister? How's your mother doing after her heart attack? Why would I give a Fu**? WASTE OF TIME BS TALK! Most people like to be elbow to elbow with people............ Not I!
If I had the money, I would rent a restaurant for the night, play the music I want at the correct volume and be with just my wife! I'll be able to hear myself talk for a change!
Yeah all the good friend I had are gone now... most of them are stuck in a bitter struggle with various drugs and booze, in and out of jail, or living with their girlfriends. It's really hard, having been a hardcore pot smoker for so long, to make new good friends, since all my old friends do is smoke and sit in front of the tv.
At this point I don't even give a fvck... I just want to concentrate on school so I don't have to work some shiat fvck job the rest of my life. fvck them all, bunch of junkies and losers.
I'm better off alone.
/should have made better choices, am alone now because I didn't.

Meh, I don't really have anyone I'd consider a friend. Most of the people I know are backstabbing cocksuckers, the kind that will screw you over when it suits them. I don't care. It's fun to see them lie to anyone and afterwards try to talk themselves out of it..
"Yeah, you should see my gf, she's so hot. Titties like this, ass like that.." "Oh, she's out of town this month." "On vacation to Dubai." "Sorry, she had to go to the dentist." "She moved to Alaska."
It's so much fun.. 😛

After 15+ years of marriage, I still have a few close friends I stay in touch with via the phone & e-mail but only see a few times a year ... my wife & family take up almost all my time now & what I have to spare I spend on my motorcycle or PC.
Also a lot of my old friends from school days were my friends more because we partied together then anything else & since most of us don't party anymore, we don't have much in common.

I think people with a lot of friends only have so many because they have nothing better to do.
I was very popular in high school but purposely avoided making very close friends with anyone, save for one or two people. I still communicate (via internet) with many of my old high school buddies, but I dont' consider them "good friends" just kids I goofed around with in high school.
I have what I consider to be two "true" friends, and that's already about as much as I can handle. That alone keeps me plenty busy. In high school I'd get people calling me up "he let's do this, go do that," and I was more like "dude, I see you 8 hours a day at school."
What's the point of having a ton of friends? What do big groups of friends do? Go get trashed at a club every weekend? Sit around telling childish jokes? I mean those people need to grow up. Most people have nothing to say and only want to act like retards.
Girls need other girl friends, but guys don't need friends as much. They're just a pain in the arse.
Some people only have a lot of friends because they have nothing important to do.

A dude makes a thread about loneliness and has the word 'suicide hotline' in his signature.
Dude, everyone ought to have ONE good friend. I always had just that one good friend until I got into college. Now in my final year, I have tons of friends & acquaintances - and 3 guys and 2 girls I can't spend more than 2 days without talking or hanging out with. And there's nothing wrong with counting an online community as 'friends'. But it is important to have ONE person in RL to call whenever you want to grab a bite, go see a movie or just hang out with doing nothing.
It's not that difficult. Just give it a shot - people seem odd the first time you meet them and you don't have to. Just be accepting and don't look for excuses to reject people because 'they don't feel right' (assuming that's what you do).
