Is it normal if i'm ready for friends now?

Throughout my youngin' life, I have never needed the support of friendship. Yeah I had close friends but never that group of friends where we would all go out together, like your go-to buddies. All of my friends don't know each other. I have different ones from different places. But besides them, its always been me, myself and I. And I absolutely love it and love it even more now because not until these days, its starting to be encouraged to befriend yourself first before anyone else. I laugh at that because I have started way before the majority have and they truly don't know how its like to be by yourself. People are just starting to try the "just me" way and attempting to reject "the social life." I am quite the opposite. I have spent so much time by myself and from someone with experience, yes it's pretty fulfilling like they say it is but only if you REALLY try it. However, at 22 years old, I'm starting to feel the actual need for friends, specifically girlfriends, since majority of my friends are guys. It's important to have a balance of both the social and personal life but I think I'm going the other way while the rest are approaching what I have been pursuing all my life. So its almost like I wanna go on a blind date but not with a guy, but with a group of gfs. I think it will be essential right now for me, unfortunately, but I have to do it for my own well-being. If I could survive by myself forever, hell yeah I would keep doing what I'm doing. Don't be afraid to talk to yourself and be friends with yourself. I am my own best friend. A lot of people THINK they are living their own life by themselves but they still have their group of friends so that doesn't count. Try not having that group of friends and the only person you can rely on for a cheer up is you. Then you can say "it's just me, myself, and I." I have a feeling the majority would fail though because they are so used to having someone else.
