Loss of friends

[Wicked_Syn]

I've had horrible luck with friends all my life.
And now I am just basically starting to hate them. I literally have NO friends right now. NONE.
I'd rather not waste my time with them and just end up getting my feelings hurt.
Anyone else ever feel like this?

i feel this way a lot, i only have about 3 people i actually consider friends, 1 is like my brother, and the other two are people that i feel comfortable around. i dont make friends very easily, or like to make friends for that matter for the same reason i dont wanna make them and be happy just to have it thrown away and feel hurt in the end, like i have felt to many times over in my life, and its a VERY slow process but i just stopped looking for friends. The two people who im comfortable around i recently met, And i can talk to them about a lot of stuff. Ive been to treatment A LOT for drug abuse, and the one thing that it tought my about myself, was the wall of defenses like anger, defensive and all that, you put those up to feel comfortable. Well i put that wall up and i just wait to see who cares enough about me to tear it down. and the ones who will tear it down to get to know the real you are the ones that will be good friends. but in order for this to work, you also have to be okay with letting them being taken down by others. not like 100% okay with it, try to put them back up but like i said if they care enough they will try to tear it down and get you to open up again. hope this helps in some way for you best luck
