Dating people who have no friends

I'm new, and I thought that I would respond to this thread.. by giving a perspective of someone who doesn't have any friends.

That's right.. I'm Ann, and at this time in my life, I'm officially friendless (and I also have the guts to admit it).

I also have a good paying job, and I have travelled the world completely on my own (which, apparently, is a brave thing to do ), and I have enjoyed it thoroughly. I don't sit around wishing for friends, but have a whole bunch of solo projects on the go. I'm happy with the way things are.

over-dependence and insecurity is not limited to those without friends. I have known many, many people who had oodles of friends, who were also one step away from being sectioned by the mental health act, or arrested for stalking. Just because someone has many "friends" (and I use this term very, very loosely) doesn't mean that the friendships are good or meaningful.

In this particular girls case, I think her friendlessness is merely a symptom of something deeper going on, and not the main cause. Your friend could have run into this problem if she were the most popular person on the block. I also think Sapphires assessment is spot on. Thanks.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

If anyone is curious (or has some extra time on their hands) Then an interesting book to read would be "Party of One: The Loner's Manifesto."

In my opinion, I dont' think Joe's friend's girlfriend is a loner. However, I think there is more to the story of his friend and his girlfriend. In all relationships, It takes two to tango. Some people complain about behavior that they actually seek out and encourage. It would be interesting to find out whether most of the girls this friend goes out with have the same patterns of insecurity.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
