Yup! It’s just me (56m) and my wife. We’re friendly with people around our apartment complex, and she has 3-ish friend in other states she texts and sometimes talks with on the phone, but that’s it. Luckily, I really like my wife!
Welcome to the ‘No Friends’ club, ya weirdo! You’re not alone in this crazy world where everyone’s always trying to be someone they’re not. Sometimes I just wanna curl up with a good book and a bottle of whiskey… at least we’ve got Netflix to keep us company. And hey, when you’re part of an exclusive club like this one, who needs fake friends anyway?
I have many acquaintances but no real friends, per se. My husband of 25 years died in 2020, and he was my best friend. Since then, I pretty much stay to myself because I’m borderline autistic and socially awkward, and people think I’m weird.
I’m a 42 year old male, and my only friend right now is my mother. I have 2 close friends, but we only see eachother twice a year and hardly ever speak. Due to my job, I speak a lot to people and have friendly conversations with them, as well as in my gym and with my therapist
Not since my husband died in September. I have my family, still, who all live about an hour away, I’m very close with one of my stepsons and we text frequently (he lives in another state), and I enjoy my coworkers when I’m at work. Since I’m pretty rural I tend to not leave my house once I’m home so on my days off it’s just me and my animals. I’m OK with it.
Yes. I’m (41M) very close with my wife and that’s about it.
I have a couple friends from high school that I still talk to, but that is maybe 2-3 times a year. I tend to develop work friendships frequently, but they usually just pertain to when I’m at work, and usually desist when I move on to another job.
I am 100% okay with this. My wife wishes we would host gatherings and socialize more, but I’m fine with having a very limited inner circle.
42 female. I have 4 permanent friendships that are each well over 20 years aged. We don’t talk much, but they’re always there and we talk like no time has passed when we do. We all live in different states and are in our 40s. I have no friends in my daily life that I spend time with or talk to. I have a handful of acquaintances I see occasionally to never because I’m not big on superficial interactions at this age.
I moved to a new state and have literally no friends. But I feel like before I moved, I didn’t really have friends. I seemed to be everyone else’s friend and confidant, but didn’t have one for myself. Adulting is tough!
Yea I feel like nobody is friendly anymore. I’ll literally try desperately to make friends and be friendly at work and they look at me like I’m insane haha
I have one friend I’ve talked to on discord consistently for the past 7ish years. We’ve never met, she lives 2 states away. Outside of that i only really interact with family and coworkers. I’m a big time introvert though, I can socialize just fine but I choose not to because it’s exhausting. I’m far happier just hanging out by myself with my dogs.
Only online, internationally. Same people for 10+ years. I have met many of them at events we go to which is always fun.
I’m 50 now and it’s basically impossible to make friends and I lost touch with the ones I used to have. Sometimes we run into each other and say we should do something, but we never do.
Yes. I talk to my adult kids but after splitting from their dad, I dropped off the face of the planet for a while. Deleted my social media. I just needed a major reset. Then covid came around and I just never really got back into the social life I used to have. It’s boring AF all the time but I can’t say I really miss socializing at all. It’s like I had one old life and now this one.

I’m on Reddit. That kinda says it all
At 49, I think it’s a typical thing as you age. I hate it but that’s just the way it is.

Mhm def just online ..

Dude you’re asking this on Reddit lmao
I keep my circle small for a reason. Fewer friends create less opportunities to hang out, so yes, and by choice.
Yea I feel like nobody is friendly anymore. I’ll literally try desperately to make friends and be friendly at work and they look at me like I’m insane haha
The world is such a lonely place these days.
Well,I got you!!

I don’t have any. My kids and their friends are my friends or who I spend time with

Not face-to-face, because they were all pushed out by too many people coming here.
Nope. No friends, a total loner and I’m fine with it.
I have friends I talk to but very rarely actually spend time with. Almost all of my side quests are solo pursuits.
Yes, me. Reddit is my social space.

I have maybe one or two that I talk to on the phone sometimes. But that’s it. I don’t talk to anyone unless they call me which is rare.
