Stick to social media or make new friends. I also don’t have friends I chat physically and I don’t see that as a problem. Sometimes it can be lonely but it keeps me focused. Worst is I don’t have girlfriend too.

Only disadvantage is that you won’t be able to communicate socially when the time present and we’re all social being. So try making new friends.

Honestly it’s not easy making new friends for me like friends that I could go somewhere to have drinks and chill with, also my friends abroad don’t have that time for social media chats, they do lots of shifts and too busy

You can still keep in touch with old friends long distance.

join an active social or interest group...football, dance, book club, church, professional association...you Gerrit? Make sure you participate and you are active. This is the best low effort way to meet new people, in my experience.

Irony of Life.. while I am so not interested in making new friends ..
1. It makes me focused.
2. Safety from jealous friends.
3. Peace of mind.
4. Saves me from unnecessary spendings.

Despite it disadvantages, I still cherished my personal time

Keep ur issues between u and God, trust in him and he would come through. From experience sharing your problems with friends hardly brings solutions. Las Las na see finish get u. Right now I find comfort in being alone if it gets too boring I take a work. There are good people out there though, but very hard to come by.

I don't understand how people don't have friends.....these are the people I fear the most ... loners. These are the ones that usually go on killing sprees when they can no longer cope with society. If you went to school you should have had friends ...if you had friends at school age ...then you should know how to socialize and make new friends. Your friends have all left ... your core friends ..inner circle ...understood ... then make new ones ...go to games where people gist ,...football whatever ..it is easy to join a conversation ...introduce yourself after ... especially to those who feel are "your type" ... was fun visiting with you guys ... they call me KB ....and take it from there ..hail th m when you see them again and you take it from there.

Trust me when I say they're only too busy for you, that's what happens when friendships start drifting apart due to long distances.

They can make time for everyone around them except for you... But that's life and we have to make peace with the fact that the older we get, the more we evolve into different people with different interests and priorities.

Make new friends and move on.

Bros No be All of Us they go on Killing Spree. Some of Us feel at Peace being alone. I don't have to pretend just to fit in

grin ...Bro... we'd be all dead or seriously wounded if you all do. Said usually . And yes...some people are comfortable being friendless ...loners. The lion is happy when in a gang pride ...the jaguar is happy when alone...we all can't be the same ... socialization is in our DNA so if one doesn't like socializing...something is a bit off ... there's a problem ... up there.... something is malfunctioning...anything can happen at anytime ... so for my safety ... do I have to say the rest?

I love the Illustration though grin. True Man can't exist without Socialization, There are Other Forms of Socialization apart from Friendship.
