Do you ever feel like you have no friends?

Rainbow17

I'm feel like that today.  Feeling blue.  Like I can't count on anyone

Oh man, I just went through this last night.

I got all into a DIY project and FI asked me"Is crafting really your thing?" and then I ended up crying and telling him I'm bored and still don't have a lot of friends here (I moved here a year ago, and I feel like everyone I meet already has an established group of friends, long story short).

So yes, Nina, I feel your pain.

Since wedding planning i have lost  some of my friends(we arent on the same level) and big events usually bring out the truth in some people. That being said, i'm grateful i met  some awesome knotties... Hope you cheer up and lets planb a g2g soon! maybe 1st Sunday in April

Unfortunately, I no longer live in Miami, just planning a wedding there, so I wont be able to do a get together anytime soon   I moved to another city.  Its been six months, and I still don't have any friends - not even new facebook friends!  And ever since I moved out or Miami, I feel like no one cares that I even left.  I'm very good at keeping in touch, but no one has even bothered calling me back, or wishing me a happy birthday, or ask how I'm liking my new city.  Its all just really hitting me today.

The truth is, I'm not having any bridesmaids, cuz sadly, I don't feel like I have any real friends.  I don't have the luxury of having bridesmaids

YES i loooove that you girls get it!! I  feel the same way - I moved back here in Aug 2008 after being gone for 7 years in Olando and I feel like everyone had already their established group of friends here... it's hard.

I would LOVE a WEST PALM g2g!!!  haha or maybe downtown Lake Worth??  Thats a little further south!  Anyone interested in going further north this time??  I would love to get to know you ladies better!

Totally understand as well .. I moved back down south in Aug 09 after living in Tampa for 5 years. I don't really keep in touch with anyone from there anymore (not like its useful to have friends that far away anyways.) At my job, it's all guys and the only other girl is older than my mom sooo no chance of making friends there. I'm not having a wedding party either because I don't have anyone to even ask besides FSIL. Honestly, I started going to the exercise classes at the gym in hopes of meeting some people but like some of you girls have said... eveyone already seems to have their established group of friends. Most of the time, I'm too busy to really care but it always creeps back up and feels crappy. Wedding-related I think most of all, I'm kind of upset about not having a real bachelorette party (I say "real" because family will be in town so probably my mom, aunt, cousin, FSIL, FMIL and I will go out somewhere... but it's not the same.) 

Melissa - I'm willing to travel to WPB for friends LOL

mfields83

LOL anna you are so cute!!  YAY let's plan something!!  Where do you live??  March 19/20 would be a good weekend for me if that works for anyone else??  Maybe i'll make a post and see what others think??

I agree ladies.. The wedding process makes you see who your real friends are. I was sad at frist but in the end im thankful bc i would not want fake people  to stand up with me the day of the wedding!

Same here! It feel slike I had more friends when I was boozing it up in  south beach and doing the single girl thing....Uggh Whatever! I have mu knotties and my Fi!!! I dont need anyone else!

I know how you feel.  I feel like you sometimes you see the true side of people when you ask them to help out, when you ask them for a favor, or when there is money involved.  It's kinda why I'm leaning towards not having bridesmaids because I don't want any tension or drama to happen between my 'would-be' bridesmaids and I.  And I don't want to feel disappointed and hurt.  I've seen some drama happen between the bride and bridesmaid(s)!

For you though, you've only been in your new city for 6 months so that's not a lot of time at all!  You've probably been busy settling in your new place, new job, etc. so probably haven't had a lot of time devoted to meeting new friends.  Give it some time and I feel like within a year, you'll meet some more people.  You should try to join a gym or maybe arrange a work happy hour to make some friends with some work people? Making friends in a new place takes time and I"m sure you'll make some more as time passes. Is this a new city for your fiance too?  Hope you feel better soon!

WOW! I truely felt like I was the only one feeling like this. I have an issue with finding real, true girl-friends. A lot of the girls I was hanging out with were super fake and two-faced. So, I got fed up and stopped talking to them and now trying to find new, better friends. I also lost a couple so-called best friends when I got engaged...it really shows their true colors. How sad.
It seems like you are all really down South. I am right on the cusp of "South Florida" being in Stuart. So, I agree with MFields and would love a G2G closer to West Palm. I couldnt make the last one, but would love to try to make this next one. So, I will try my darndest.

Nina - where is it that you live now?
