I am 34 and have been very successful in life – married, kids, great career, etc. With one big exception: I have zero friends. I’ve never been popular, and once college was done, I never have a chance to meet anyone new. I have my coworkers, but they are mostly old women. Not people I would want to hang around with and play video games like I did with my few friends in high school.

Every two weeks, my wife has a “girl’s night” where she hangs out with her friends. Actual friends, not just coworkers. People she’s known since grammar school. I moved across the country at 18, so none of my school friends are anywhere near me anymore. I get so jealous of her and her social life…

I don’t see how a person in my position is supposed to make a new friend. If I’m not working, I’m taking care of my children. Once they’re asleep, my wife gets whatever little time I have left.

The strange thing is, too, that I still consider people I knew in high school – people I haven’t spoken to since 1998 – as my “friends”. The fun times I had back then seem closer to me and make me happier than almost any memories since. I feel like some of my old friends could just walk through my door at any time, and we could just relax and have fun, like the last 16 years were all just a dream.

So, a warning to all of you teenagers on this site – enjoy this time in your life! And stay connected with your close friends! Don’t end up middle-aged and friendless like me.

I f****** hate you (bf) , you f****** manipulative,hypocrite, emotionally abusive, vaping, life draining, wannabe player b******. I.HATE YOU. I still deeply resent you. This is why everyone thinks you’re an a****** at your job. You’re not some anti-hero that you claimed to be. No- You’re just an a******. Point blank . Especially to me of all people! You always take it out on me, and you still wonder why I won’t touch you like that or shut down completely with you. Everytime you sense or feel even an inch that im happy, peaceful, something I enjoy doing you immediately smash that down so you can feel better and have power over me. What’s funny is that every time you’re in the wrong, overstep your boundaries, make me really upset or talk crap to me – karma smacks you right in the face everytime & you don’t even realize it. Funny how you’ve said yourself that people spit at the sky just for it to come back-yet you’ve done the exact same thing too – you’re not godlike or safe from getting karma, even I’ve dealt with karma too when I was in the wrong many times too. So no- you’re not a misunderstood dark knight turn bad like the joker you claim to be. You’re just an egotistical bigoted jerk & everyone can see that except you. I hate myself that I fell for your facade – lovebomb trap years ago . And all the times that you’ve talked crap about other’s appearances, especially women’s, karma yet again smacked you in the face & put on a ton of weight and still wonder why you haven’t lost pounds but still continue on demanding me to cook & make you even more food despite you complaining about it , hmmmm , gee I wonder why. Anyways , glad to vent that out .
