Is it normal for a person to have no friends?

I'm in my first year of college and I too have absolutely no friends, just many acquaintances. To be honest, I like it this way. I have no pressure to socialize and I can do whatever I want whenever I want without having to alter my schedule for others. Perhaps it's a bit selfish, but if we're happy, what's the problem?

Please don't take it personally...bad/prohibited/forbidden/tabooed/stigmatizing experience in the childhood(when the 'ego' develops), which you don't even know(don't consciously remember), can affect your unconscious mind and influence your behaviour(like unconscious dreams which are simulated and virtual, work as a stage rehearsal of your hidden anxieties, to toughen you up)...like that of a toddler who has been raped at 3 years of age, and has partially lost his/her ability to trust/believe in anybody( it's an outcome of a natural defence-mechanism programmed)......I personally am quite a loner, but I like to write to associate freely...and that's why, in this age of technology, social networking sites have helped me a lot to make friends without a physical anxiety of getting touched on the would be friend's part(if the friend is a girl)....it's an orthodox technique too to make friendships through letters, which even last long

Try asking people to hang out. Do a group activity and form a group of friends, one at a time.

I feel you. Same here but what sucks is I'm a woman with no friends. My contacts are my mom, grandma, sister, and bf.

I have a couple of friends on here: Meunstar and Shuggy-Chan. In real life though, I don't have any friends.

I'm like that and I'm fucking glad.
