I live in the boondocks...literally the deep woods in NJ. I hate just about everyone, and everyone else seems to have a life, and the one's that don't, I don't want to know.

Church is a good way to meet people. And join a club or go to a social event, like a church picnic. Invite someone to go golfing...don't hang out in bars though, half the time they don't even remember who you are!



You've heard about people auditioning for reality TV shows, selling stuff on Craig's List. Find something you really like doing. Maybe you like blogging and making videos, so you decide to buy a video camera and start a vlog on Youtube. Start at a little job you enjoy, and work up.



Look for job openings in the newspaper.

And don't make your life sound so miserable and depressing. No one will want to be around you. Plenty of nice exciting people come from New Jersey. I can name three people off the top of my head...the Jonas Brothers!



Don't hate everyone. That's a start, and make your own life! It's not like everyone magically got a life. Find a job you enjoy, make some friends, reach out to people. Host a football party (if you like football) make chicken wings, serve refreshments, potato salad....etc..and have everyone bring side dishes. Guys like food right?



And tell them they can bring their friends. You're bound to get to know someone.



Also, you're basically saying you have no life, so why would someone else want to get to know you if they're like you and say they don't want to get to know people who "don't have a life".



What is your definition of "no life"??

looks like you have solved your own question. You hate everyone that has, what you don't have- a life. Look, you are making some wrong decisions right now. First of all how are you going to get a life? Simple, you need a routine. A routine + job = people interaction . People interaction+ mutual interest - hate = A LIFE !!!

Try this formula, guaranteed to work, oh, yeah, Why stay in the boondocks, that is breeding grounds for pedophiles and phychopaths. Relocation wouldn't hurt either...

I would suggest finding social groups that have some of the same interests as you. For instance, there's one here in Portland called Oregon Active. Just a bunch of people that get together to do fun activities like bungee jumping, etc. If you have money to spare, travel!

you find some other lost souls and hang out with them, take up an instrument to let out your anguish. you must be willing to socialize. if you form a band and just organize concerts in the woods you can meet alot of new people.

Find employment, no matter how menial. It will boost your self-esteem and enable you to meet people.
