I think its common for us not to have many friends, for me I have had a lot of people betray me so I dont trust people but I also find that people dont know what it is to be real friends today. Everything is facebook, sms and friend this and friend that but when it comes to what matters many people today dont know how to handle issues or talk. I'm glad to have no friends now just people who come over now and then but not one that I could confide in etc.
Its a double edge sword, lonely because you want friends like everyone else but for me also a blessing as I dont like what this world is turning into. I also find as soon as you mention MI people act differently and treat you like you have a growth on your head or something! I'm more happy these days to keep to myself with my partner and our beautiful dog - for me its all about keeping stresses down.
Take care @Former-Member there is nothing wrong with you
