Is it normal to not have any friends but just acquaintances?

I'm 22 years old and my life is somewhat empty and devoid of friendships and lacking in fun. I always have a good time with my family but apart from this I have no one to call up on the weekend to go out and party with. I don't have any friends just acquaintances. It's very lonely when you don't have someone who you can hang out with and I often spend time working out and listening to music. Other than that I am bored out my mind. I don't even have a girlfriend. I really feel blue and I try no to let it get me down but it sometimes does. Someone give me advice because I really want to bring about change in my life. I need some friends. No more blue summers:(

    kind of common depending on you lifestyle I guess, if you would go out a lot and have a wide social circle I believe it is common and normal since you just do not have the opportunity or need to get to know someone better. However, since your life seems quite monotonous it doesn't seem to fit your stable attitude, but it might just be a phase that you are going through until you meet the right group of people.

    i have the same problem. Went to college and that completely solved the problem. Got a boyfriend, and it made it 10x worse... But at least I got him. Well not now, I am back to being lonely, he is in france, plus we are across the country for summer break. Try doing something like college group at a church, or yeah volunteering. I do all that, we are "friends" for the time were together, but it doesn't last outside of the time span... I'm not sure how to make "real friends" at this age... I could be your friend!
