Sorry but I don't trust you to know my old friends better than I do. Life didn't interfere, I dropped them because they were terrible friends. Naturally I have no interest in contacting them.

What's so bad about that being your only reason to live? There are certainly lesser reasons, like mine being video games. That may be pitifully pathetic, but it's why I'm still alive and sane all the same.

Well you can save them if you want a companion. If not, that's fine too.

I'm sure you've had good friendships that have merely died, otherwise that would be quite sad indeed. I think it goes without saying to contact the good ones, the people you actually want in your life.

If video games bring fulfillment to you, that's wonderful. 

It sounds like you're a bit stagnant and as a result are open to reflect on your situation and have noticed this loneliness. I would recommend a new job, a move to a new residence (even city?), or engage in some new hobbies that have a social component since you seem to crave that and are unable to satiate it at the moment.

By them I meant every single one. I guess saving one would be better than none, but again no interest in that as I'm a heartless dastard.

I suppose there were friends from my elementary school days that I lost touch with due to moving, but I barely remember them let alone their contact info. Even if I could, I wouldn't. I'm a completely different person now than I was then, same is certainly true of my old friends, so we'd see each other as complete strangers.

You didn't explain why friends/family shouldn't be your reason to live, infact I'm even more curious now since you believe video games are a "wonderful" reason lel.

I've known all that before making this thread and have had multiple responses telling me similarly, but as always it's easier said than done. There are issues both physically and emotionally that prevent me from simply doing these things as mentioned before, and I know it's all on me to power through them. I'll say it again, this isn't a thread asking for help, please don't waste your time trying.
