I Don't Have Any Friends

Some people say they want friends. Friends are people that are individuals who we don't need to spend time with or talk with and who we don't force to listen to us talk about our problems or day. We let them live their own lives while we live ours. I thought I wanted another person to listen to me talk about my day or problems, but it isn’t necessary. I write about these information in my journal or I talk about these aloud to myself without anyone around. I like having friends who give me my space and who don’t need to talk or invite me to their place or somewhere else to hang out or eat together. Some people don’t want to listen to us tell them about our day or problems because those information may only be interesting to us and boring to them. I don’t want friends who need comforting when they feel sad or who need my company to have fun and be entertained. I’m not someone who needs to be comforted when I feel sad or who needs the company of other people to have fun and be entertained. I don’t like it when some people are looking for affirmation or validation while they tell a story or recount a memory of theirs to me. They need to believe in themselves and know that their lives are interesting to them, regardless if their audience likes or dislikes their stories or memories. When people ask me about my life, I reveal information to them without expecting a reaction from them. I tell them because they wanted to know and because the information is interesting to me. It doesn’t matter if they like or dislike my stories or memories. I don't expect anything from them and they don't expect anything from me.
