I am 24, have lived here for 4 years, and have no friends. I mean I left friends in another state when I moved, and I talk to them sometimes, like a couple times a year on the internet and that's it. And I have a husband who has no friends either.
I don't know if it's normal but I highly doubt if it's healthy.
I've tried making friends with people from my college or my work and although we seem to be decent acquaintances in those environments, any attempt I've made of having them over or making them into my "buddies" has either weirded them and out and made them turn away or just hasn't "worked out."
Sometimes I think that my desperateness for friends is what ruins the potential for others to become my friend.
The friends I HAVE had in my life were few and far between, but they were/are great people, my kind of company exactly, and I met them all on accident, and became friends with them over time and unintentionally. Sometimes I think I should just go about my business and surely at some point a friend will present itself. But at this point the way I am with new people has developed into some kind of freakish maladaptive behavior.
So, uh, I guess I feel your pain. Freakish or not, I am sure at some point we will both make friends when we have truly given up! :P
