Is it normal to not have any friends?

So I literally don't have any friends. When I was 5 years old I met my best friend. We still are, and she's probably the closest thing to a friend I've ever had in my entire life. she's in college now and we barely talk. The only other people I talk to or hang out with is my bf, sister or mom.
But I never really cared to have a lot of friends, im shy, quiet and rather keep to myself, always have been. Is it healthy to not have a lot of friends?

    I don't know if it's normal or not. My wife has lots of friends. I have my wife. I guess I'm lucky in that I married my best friend.

    Its really hard I guess to make friends for you because you are used to people being there for you and other people might not always be there. WHat you must ask your self is what is it exactly that you need a friend for? If you are looking for someone to fulfill some need that you have then do it, like having someone help you to become more social. If not and you are happy with the way that things are then you dont have to worry too much about it

    Yeah I mean I do feel content with just my bf and my sister is like my best friend. I've always felt like a few close friends are better than several friends that are not close. I do have my moments though when I wish I had more friends, usually from boredom and wanting to do something and not having people to do it with. Ive gotten mad at my bf before and said 'fine, ill go hang out with someone else then!' But then i think okay who am i really going to hang out with lol

    Well it really depends on if you are happy or not. If you are not happy with only one friend, then it's not good. But if you are happy just the way things are, then you're fine. Do what's best for you. Good friends are not always easy to come by, maybe once you find people who have the same common interests in you, you'll find more friends.

    I'm sure every one at least has A' friend.

    To say the least, It is what it is and couldn't really be considered normal or abnormal.

      No...not everyone has even one friend. Quite a few don't.
