Without friends? Yes. All you need, where need be, are useful and necessary acquaintances and business partners. These are not necessarily friends but they ar needed.

Martinez39:
It's normal. As people begin to grow and collide with reality as they leave the comfort provided by their parents, it's every man for himself. True friendship doesn't exist; every man is looking out for himself; and friends/relatives will easily throw you under the bus when it benefits them. You might be kind hearted and have helped people but they may betray and treat you like trash with ease when you are in need. It's common because human beings will be human beings. Take heart.

Take my advice, don't keep friends. Only have necessary and useful acquaintances and business partners. Stop having emotional connections with people. In a world filled with ravenous wolves, being too nice is a weakness.

MisterKings:
I had sadness and depression all over me. Considered suicide because I was lonely, broke doing security job at a small bank.
Now I am married, happy and have a business and full time Job.

TechCapon:
hmmmm, those necessary acquaintances are also your friends

This thread just confirmed that nairaland is full of kids. Imagine the kind response or rubbish the kids here are typing.
Nairaland has lost its glory days.

I need a job, someone out there, help

Martinez39:
No they are not. They are temporary. If you are a footballer, your teammates are not necessarily your friends but they are useful and necessary acquaintances. You may decide to make them your friend even though friendship is not necessary. All that's necessary is professionalism.

My virginity

TechCapon:
OK

Martinez39:
Lol. Actually, the burden of proof lies on you religious people. If you had any proof for the existence of your god, you would have quickly and gladly presented to shut me up.

Here is why I don't believe in any of the religious gods.
1) They have no evidence or sound logical basis to support their existence.
2) The claims and stories of the holy books are irrational, logically absurd and false.

If I am to believe in any religious god, there must be evidence. Provide evidence. It's not so much to ask from an omnipotent god that wants people to be saved.

eyaah...pele

Martinez39:
Good. Mind you, you don't just call anyone a friend. Because you and someone happen to live with/near each other; talk frequently; or cross path frequently doesn't mean that person is your friend.

TechCapon:
hmmmm, those necessary acquaintances are also your friends

idalex:

...and everything in it...

No bro, they are just what they are acquaintances, friendship was done back in the days of primary secondary school, those beautiful days of innocency...I miss my friend Chinedu, George, ikenna beautiful days in Colliery comprehensive...,,,, Collins Agu keep resting in peace.

How do you know it's a supreme being? Why not a natural process? Let's assume it's a supreme being, how do you know that such supreme being is your own god not the god of another religion?

If everything must come from something, where did your God come from? If you have no problem thinking your God exists without being created, why do have a problem believing that the universe exists without being created?

Hamachi:
What did you have 5years ago that you no longer have?

Martinez39:
No one knows about the origin of things. It's still a mystery but there is no evidence that a supreme god did it. Even if we say that a god did it, how do you know that god is your god?

TechCapon:
mehn you're right. I also made some great friends in university and nysc but everyone is scattered now. Even the get together we planned collapsed at the last minute

Hipsofagoddess:


Someone right now is in China eating Chinese rice, but because you can't them doesn't make it a lie. There is a limit to what your eyes can see but doesn't mean what you can't see aren't in existence.

TechCapon:
true but gradually you guys can graduate to become friends. Drink beer together, exchange contacts etc

Some five years ago, i was ok Working for people without pay... but since i found in 2016 it was a behaviour emanated from compensation for things i did not understand about my self while i was quite younger, i stopped...i short i tried doing same thing just last weekk and i found out how ungrateful people can be even when using your time and energy . i also found out that i have realy lived a very silly life some years ago in the name of survival.

Today i can mention alot of thing i stopped like ...being to religious(though i will start a bit of it soon), i stopped being scared of approching a girl i like(thanks to my present or ex gf), thirdly i became a little free from being a internet jerk(thanks to my new year resolution) ... Then i finally i belived strongly in using my unmedicated brain in tackling issues...but like Paul said in the bible to one of the disciple ......


A little wine is good to the body.... Is not i use be high now o, but i do experience some substance unlike before and helll yeah!!, it make me more reasonable and connected to people ..


So the only backdrop is that whenever i meet people who knows me from the church and they wants to strike a conversation with me... My new brain always tells me..... Nna dont talk much before this people notice my brain is powered by a diffrent spirit now..


In all nobody seems to care... Others are changing too.. They just see it as part of growth ..so it doesnt matter what kind of change you have attained in the past 5 years
