Is it normal to have never had any friends other than your relationship?
I have never had a friend in my life other than the relationship I am in now (it's a good stable one too, we've been together several years and live together). Before this I was once in another relationship but it ended horribly with them cheating on me after not too long so it'd be inappropriate for me to count that as "friends". Throughout all of my school years... no friends, no exceptions. Whether I tried on purpose or (as I more commonly did) kept to myself. People were just never interested in me and I'm kind of shy and have weird interests so it's probably understandable, and I was bullied a lot all throughout my school years too. No friends in any setting even after school. I've tried to make friends on purpose A LOT; attending things for meeting people with common interests or meeting up with people irl who were looking for friends but we never hit it off for some reason or other because it would last for the single awkward meet up with them blatantly showing no interest in me and then I'd never hear from them again. I have some people I talk to online sometimes but I don't particularly count it as friends because it's not like you hang out or anything so they're more like acquaintances in my mind. It sort of fills the void but at the same time I've always felt like there's something empty in my life because of lacking real, tangible friends. All of my relatives are not interested in me as well and I have no communication with them, leaving me with not even having a friend in a relative. I'm in my mid 20s now and I'm pretty confidently sure that no matter what I do I'll never make friends other than the person I'm in a relationship with.
