Any advice on going through life without friends? I do have acquaintancesome,

I've always seen the task as always trying to make friends because I have none. Never thought about living with it. Bump

Are you looking for advice on surviving without friends, or enjoying life without friends? I suspect only a small number of people can actually have a fulfilling life alone. Humans are social creatures, it is a biological need.

That being said, it is certainly possible to be happy alone with the right temperament.

I sate my need for social interaction via the internet. Books/media/masturbation can also serve as a reasonable substitute. Have productive hobbies to occupy your free time.

I've found the biggest pitfall is that if you avoid going outside, you may develop social anxiety or nervousness in large/loud crowds. Try to make conversation when the opportunity arises, or you may lose that skill as well.


I know a lot of people look at this kind of life as something sad, but it really isn't that bad. I had number of friends in university but tended to prefer time spent alone (reading/etc) over drinking or other group activities. After graduation I still keep acquaintances but don't go out of my way to hang out or anything. Being alone was mostly a choice.

I'm looking to more or less have a flulling life without friends

I do play airsoft regularly to keep the social anxiety at bay. I don't join teams because airsoft players are like cheer leaders.
