I dont know what to do anymore. HELP....?
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.

It's strange, but at birthday times we do tend to take stock of our lives and wonder where we're going...that's what you're doing just now - but you're being too hard on yourself!
For the past 5 years you've had your little one to look after...and for these years, we have to put their needs above our own. That's natural, but it can isolate us - all our peers have lives that go in different directions and we don't really have anything in common with them anymore.
But now you are in your 20s, there are plenty people out there with similar lifestyles to your own. Talk to other parents from your child's school or after school clubs. Join parent groups or the PTA at school. To begin with, you'll only talk about your children...but it gives you an opportunity to meet other people and eventually get to know them.
Please try....it really does work!

I hardly have any friends and I am 16. I just call all the smokers/drinkers at school losers. I eat lunch alone than head to the library. I'm focusing on my dream job now. I find I don't need friends. Answer mine? http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjCbC...
