Is it normal to be 25 and have no real friends?

I was always a really shy, reserved person growing up. I made 1 or 2 good friends at a time throughout school (I moved around a lot). I had a kid young, married young and moved again to start a new family life. I just can't make any friends! I don't fit in with your average "mommies group" type of person. I tried finding my old friends on myspace but they are all drug addicts. Eek, no thanks! Is it normal to be this old and not have any close friends?

    Many people experience this kind of thing. Especially at age 25 or so, everyone you knew is either off doing their own family things or made one too many wrong decisions, give them time, they will either die or get help and sober up, there is rarely ever a middle of the road for drug addiction. Anywho, do you have any hobbies or things you want to get into? Yoga, art, music, look into these things and you can find people with the same interests and maybe find some friends. That is all.

    Hello!
    it is normal and don't worry my dear!!
    I've been moving around this globe since I were 18.Real friends? don't know any? I count on myself a 100%%. I avoid many persons because of their lifestyle and I'm satisfied this way. There are moments when I curse myself because I don't find anyone to talk to, but when I weigh both sides, I'd rather be on my own... however, I always meet nice people wherever I go, because it is important to have some balance in our life.I recommend you do the same... I do not 100%% fit with anyone I know, but I always say to myself this is what there is! I hope this helps u. good luck and take care.

    I don't know what the local mommies group is like but perhaps you just aren't able to relate with them as a group but you could find one or two that aren't so different from you that you could enjoy if you were alone with her and the kids

    Take it from The Hulk, he doesn't need friends and he's super powerful.

    Start slow, make some online friends. Maybe they can revive your personality a bit & such. Then, considering you're 25, try going to a bar with your hubby, or siblings or even your mom/dad. Or a library, coffee house, etc. Join some type of club or group around the neighborhood. You'll make friends in no time.
