Is it normal to only have a boyfriend and no friends?

64% Normal
6 Comments

I went through a pretty tough time a year ago and never been able to make friends because of my depression. I happened to meet my (now) boyfriend by chance. We were friends at first then a month or 2 later became a couple. I literally have no one besides him and some family members who are a whole lot older than me. He talks to me about his close friends and I've even met some of them. But I never talk to him about my friends because I don't have any. I sometimes wonder if he's caught on because I never go anywhere besides my house, work, his place, and the stores. Is it normal to be nineteen and not have any friends? Is it normal that I worry what my boyfriend thinks about this?

    There are a plethora of posts on here about other people, some older than you, who have no friends. However, consider yourself somewhat lucky since most people tend to not really have a boyfriend or girlfriend when in this situation. But I guess having friends would also be nice. Try putting yourself out there, join a club at school perhaps. Talk to some of your classmates. Maybe you could try to become close to his friends? I mean like try to hang out see if perhaps you could hang with some of his female friends, or male friends if its easier, and maybe you guys could become good friends.

    Totally understandable considering that you had depression and it is normal. I don't have a bf but I also don't really have any close friends or friends that are 'true' friends. I mean it is really difficult to find some good friends let alone even one and I've met a lot of people in my life so far and I'm 19. There are also a lot more people like yourself out there so don't worry :)

    When I first started high school, I had nobody except my amazing boyfriend. I didn't have any friends and he sort of did have a few from football, so I felt extremely lonely and I felt like he'd think badly of me since I didn't have anyone. On the contrary, he helped me find some friends and was with me 100% from the very start. I was never alone when I had him, and I am still not alone, though I have found some good friends now.
