How do I make real friends?
I am 21 and I about to turn 22 and this weekend I realized that I literally have no real friends. I know people at work and school but it doesnt go beyond that. I use to be really popular and have a lot friends but when I turned 16 I had my first child and ever since then I havent been able to get real friends. I feel so sad and lonely and wonder if I will ever make real friends. Friends that I can call to either hang out or to talk to them about my problems. I dont know what to I just feel like I wont ever have real friends. I would love to have a girlfriend that I can talk to, go out with, gossip with, shop with and I'm scared I wont ever have that. Any advice will help thank you.

You may never have had 'real friends', though. A real friend would stick with you through your trying times, no matter what. I have two real friends, and plenty of acquaintances. And I've known those friends my entire life. I would suggest that you start spending more time with some of your better-known school buddies and coworkers. Just remember, you can't go into a relationship and expect to take, take, take. You need to put time and effort into it yourself! Hope it works out for you. Best of luck.

wow, you sound just like me. except i had mine at fifteen not sixteen. All you can really do is just be open to meeting new people. Try a few groups at school that may help you get to know some poeple
