Is it normal that i have no friends

I'm 18 and I don't have any friends, but it doesn't really bother me. I'm nice to most people but never have anybody to talk to or spend time with. I used to have a few close friends and a girlfriend but for the last two years I've just been by myself. It hasn't really bothered me all that much. Is it normal?

    I'm 20 and I haven't had a friend since high school, even then I wouldn't really consider those friends, just people to pass the time with. I do get lonely some times but then I realise the making and keeping friends is more effort than enjoying time by your self... I think maybe you're just a different kind of person and when you find someone you can actually relate to, things change...

    You sound like me, apart from the fact I'm female.
    I seem to be the only loner in my area ...

    I bet a lot of people on the internet are also loners including my self.

    Most weekends, i dislike being with my friends. I like my alone time. You probably just like yours more than me:)

    I think it's normal. Some people prefer not to socialize. I was in the same situation as you until I hit 19, second year in college. I used to love being alone without socializing but in the past 6 months or so I've always wanted a new friend. I'm nice to everyone but no one asks me to hang out. I sometimes get jealous when I see other guys socializing in school like they've known each other for years. If it doesn't bother you, then nothing is wrong.

    Yeah it's normal. Some people are social creatures while others prefer solitude. I personally don't have many friends anymore and I must admit that I do get terribly lonely sometimes. If it doesn't bother you then yes, being in solitude is normal for you. Just make sure to do whatever makes you happiest, whether it's being by yourself or going out and finding a ton of new acquaintances.

    I think it is normal, and it obviously bothers you, or something triggered you to think about it. I think that it is normal only if it works for you. If you are getting lonely maybe its time to stop being alone. I know how being lonely feels :/

    I think it does bother you to some extent, to make you post about it here. To answer your question, it is normal. I have a similar situation.

      My bf has me and he doesn't have any friends. We've been dating since high school and at the time people would ask me things like "why are you with him?" or be surprised once i told them who i was dating but i honestly did not care and made me see those people as sort of mean and judgmental since they knew nothing about him personally. Any guy can have a girlfriend whether they have friends or not since girls would be interested in you and not your buddies (at least i would hope for your sake =)
