IF you can by me a flight over, i'de be happy to party with you. lol
This whole go to a bar thing sounded a bit weird to me but I just remebered a guy I know telling me about his 20th (australia by the way) He was bored and walked to the nearest abr and some guys like "how are ya mate?" he responds "oh it hasn't been that bad of a birthday actually" and the guys says "SHOTS!!" so he goes and joins that guy and his mates for free drinks all night.
I'm not into drinking and all that much but it sounded like a decent time.
Happy birthday anyway man, I know how you feel.
OP, Don't worry I know how it feels. The difference being that I am now 25. Work full time with no weekends off. Moved cities about a year ago because my friends there turned into coke-snorting junkies & now I'm at this new place with nobody but my girlfriend for company. I think I am also a bit like you, in that I try and make friends & be friendly but nobody gives a shit. Chin up dude, happy birthday in advance.
(also this is my first post here, long time lurker though. Hi!)
[QUOTE=VagueWisdom;22778905]At least your birthday is on a regular day, unlike mine which is on New Years day. Almost all my friends are either busy with family stuff, or some of them are too drunk to even come over. I wished my birthday was just on a regular day. D:[/QUOTE]
Can somebody explain why this post has an even comparable amount of police/nice/friendlies to the OP?
I mean come on, big whoop, he can celebrate his birthday some other day a week, or hell, even 2 days later.
However, the OP cannot, his friends aren't around, he doesn't have anyone.
[QUOTE=urbanmonkey;22779533]I'm in Michigan. Anywhere near Metro-Detroit? I'm just off of 21 mile[/QUOTE]
Same, we can throw you a Birthday party.

because we're gen Y and having an ipod with 100 gigs less than our friends' ipod makes us suicidal?
You can drink at the age of 16 over here, but you've got to be 18 to buy it.
Seriously, where do you live man? We need an address so we can all come over there and have a great time! :shobon:
Awe dude i'd love to come but i live in Ireland and hey it'll turn around when you least suspect it so chin up and look out for the gold opportunity and hey the silver lining is you have good health and everyone who posted something cares for you in some why or another to take time to post so smile :-) and the world smiles back :-) <------------(Thats the world)
aww I'm going to college soon and don't have any friends :( i feel ya
spicysam, if thats you in your avatar I have no absolutely no idea why you have no friends.
[editline]05:45AM[/editline]
i like to say no
facepunch will come to your house and party :smug:
could be worse. i have lots of friends but 99% of the time I hate their guts
@the OP:
For the record, I did not have any friends come to my 21st B-day, nor did I get laid that day, but did I care? No. It was good enough my friends who ended up moving on with their lives, school, work, relationships, relocated, that they took their time out of their days to post something on my wall, unfortunately, I usually do not have the time to do the same thing when its their day. That makes me feel bad off my end.
Whats real worse, is finding out that you are allergic to booze when you finally try it.

this sounds more depressing than having no friends. you're in for one rough life-time buddy.

Well I thought alcohol was the cause and solution to all problems -- thus he can now avoid causing any problems. Right?
I'd suggest using some free online dating sites to get female friends in your area, go for awesome chicks that don't look the best, get in a circle of friends through them.
[QUOTE=Dahaka32;22778997]Go to prision you NEED friends there to protect your ass and the state pays your meals and sheets.
Or you can always hangout in a bar sometimes, go always to the same bar, do this go every monday,friday(the day you like), same hour too.Start talking soon you will become friends with the barman and sooner you will be friends with the manager and you will have a tab. You will also have a new friends(other customers) every night for a 20 min chat.[/QUOTE]
The customers is usually drunken loosers. - Even tho Some of them are pretty nice to talk to.
awe dude.
fuck old friends. try to make new ones :) and who gives a fuck if your work friends are a couple years older then you. friends are friends. one of my good friends are 18 and im 15. im sure you will find someone who is an awesome friend that you will stick with for years. you know your non close friends? try to become close with them. in a non pushy way though. ask them out for a beer or what ever and if they seem cool with you, ask again in a week. then from there, ask if they want to chill or something.
give it a try :buddy:
edit: and also try not to stick with the "i have no friends my life sucks" mindset. try to develop a new mindset. recalling depressing moments in life or telling yourself you are a reject isnt going to get you new friends. just try to be confident, nice, and being funny helps too. Also, when you hang with your un close friends, try to be a good listener. that always helps too
i wish you the best of luck :smile:
I'll be your friend......just kidding
I'll send you a razor as a birthday present. :buddy:
I'm turning 21 the 1st of august and I'm pretty much in the same position as OP.
Except here we can start drinking at the age of 18 and turning 21 isn't really a big deal.
[editline]09:31AM[/editline]
Fuck that's like 5 days, I need to call my mum
Can someone organize an event on the Facebook page for this guys party?
im 21 to... 0 friends :frown:
If you're still up for a TF2 game on your birthday, I'm in depending on Timezones.
I'm 20 and turning 21 in Feb.
Pretty much have the same exact issue as the OP, as a matter of fact I broke down last night in my apartment kitchen because of it (which just made me feel more pathetic).
Ever since I graduated high school, I've gotten more and more insecure about myself. I feel like I don't even remember my childhood or my tennage years growing up, and what made me who I was back then.
I realize that I don't "know" anything about myself at all, and this prevents me from being friends with anyone my age because EVERYONE (even those who I relate to the most) has themselves figured out with only a few loose ends here and there. I've been pretty much friendless for 2 years and the only things I feel secure about my interests and as a person is my music and nature.
I had friends in high school, but they were like the OP's friends.. never close, never really had much common ground at all except a few things. I don't know what it's like to "hang out" because I never had that opportunity and no one wanted to. I don't know what it's like to know someone who has similar interests as me because my schools didn't have anything beyond drumline and band as the "geekiest" it got.
I never learned about socializing growing up, my parents were too poor to afford experiences such as going to the movies, going out to eat, vacationing anywhere beyond the next state over, etc. They also never encouraged me to do anything and they never taught me how to be myself. So I never did sports or recreational activities like that, don't know anything about that stuff other than on the basic level, even though I enjoy them very much (the few times I've done stuff like that by tagging along).
And now it's like... here I am. On my own, paying my own bills... I make $200-$300 a week and enjoy my job but I have no goals or anything I have enough about to spend the money on.
I met a friend at the beginning of this year who was the first person I've ever met who I related to on MANY levels and who had a lot of common interests (outdoors, hiking, PC games, geeky stuff, etc). I thought I would finally get my life on track and build up from that point but it ended up instead crashing and burning. While yes I was interested in the things he was... I simply didn't have a lot of experience doing things socially like that, I didn't have a large repituar of life-long experiences to build up on that related to our interests.
He was everything I always wanted in my life: a lot of like-minded friends growing up, he's been around the country, did things like eat out and go to the movies all the time so he has a very developed and matured taste for restuarants, etc... and who was I? I had similar interests but I was completely boring becasue I didn't have anything close to an 'acceptable level' for most people my age.
I tried getting back into contact with old friends but that's not working very well.
Anyways, my little anecdote is over. I don't have much hope for myself at the moment and I feel terrible, insecure, etc about my life too. The only way I can think of getting through this is to just take a cynical worldview and turn my back on the ideals I thought were once sacred to me, because it isn't working out for me. And that scares me.

Dang it Bobby!
When I turned 18 I had quiet pint with my Brothers and Dad. You don't NEED to have a huge booze fest.
[editline]12:53AM[/editline]
Of course, the fact I had a bitchin' party the night before my birthday with my many close friends doesn't count.
Drink alone and post on Facepunch.
