Is it normal to never experience actual friendship?

Hello,

I'm about to be 20 but had never an actual friend in my entire life, just people in school that I know and talk to but never could rely on or that treated me like nobody when their actual friends show up. The only time that I were about to had friends was when I were 15 through a Xbox game. They were kinda like me but it didn't last long after my parents forbid me to talk to them (because they think they are dangerous and that I should do something more productive) and stopped Xbox live to make sure I will never talk to them again.
Nowadays I think that I would never have actual friends since I'm affected by ADD and because of my social anxiety that grew a lot in the past years like for example I tried to talk to people on twitch but I constantly think that I'm not good enough for them or that they would leave me one day like the rest of them.
I would most likely stop the contact with my parents and live isolated from society soon.

    Very normal for us introverts. I have only one friend at the moment, but have gone years having only acquaintances like you have. Social media like this site helps immensely. We IIN misfits would like you to leave comments on the other posts here. Clever wording and concisely written shit conveying attentiveness and independent attitude quickly wins admiration.

    Don't be afraid to have an alternate user id in case you get banned. (It happens to the best of us occasionally).
