Is it normal not to have friends?

63% Normal
6 Comments

I'm 24 years old girl and I seriously don't have any friends. Back in high school I did. But since I moved away to college I don't have any. I have boyfriend, but he doesn't really count. I don't live on campus. I know a few people from class but we never hang out outside of school.

I think about inviting people to get coffee or eat out but I start thinking that maybe they can't afford it. Or they are too busy. Or maybe they don't even like me that much. Or maybe I'm just not funny or interesting enough. I tend to think that few people like me and few enjoy my boring company.

I have always wanted to join a knitting group or circle. But I'm afraid of not knowing anyone. That I would be an outsider. I'd rather not go than feel rejected.

Is It Normal?

    join that knitting group you mentioned. i doubt knitters would snub you. also, adult friendships are not so intimate as kid friendships. don't worry. put yourself out there, try the coffee or lunch thing like Born says.

    You are the one who is outside; give it a try.

    It Seems As If You Have Low Self Esteem. You Need To Stop Worrying So Much About What All The Worst Case Scenarios Are And Just Go Along And Invite Some People To Coffee Or To Lunch Or Whatever. Also When You Ask Them Do It With Optimism!!
