Is it strange to be 30 years old and have no friends in real life?

And also never had a friend your whole life. I dont mean online. All my friends are online. But sometimes i wish i had a real life friend. Who liked me. And do things. And do girl things. I mean I mever even had a virthday party my whole life. Only once when i was a kid. And no one showed up. And then 1 more time when i was 11. I feel isolated a lot. And being sick all the time means i must be home. And im also scared to go out. I guess ill mever experience having a true friend.

I am 43 and don't have. I did have however it got to the point that I felt I was thr only one making an effort so I stopped, and guess what? Didn't hear from anyone.

My profile declares myself as boring. Maybe that's the problem.

Though I feel much more free now, one less thing for me to worry about. X

Friends tend to start disappearing when people start building their own families, which is often around 30 for our generation.
However, considering the number of people in their 30s who nowadays don't even have a partner, let alone children, it's almost bizarre how many still can't find friends. I assume many don't even want them or possibly don't want to invest their time, energy and money into them.

@CrazyMusicLover I wonder why finding a partner became such a low priority for so many?
It is like at some point in the millenial generation is when they just said heck with it.

@CestManan I don't know. Maybe we learned we can exist without them as well. There are many distractions and things that seemingly provide romantic and sexual satisfaction even without us being physically the subjects of certain scenarios. In other words, I think many people want instant momentary satisfaction without having to put work into real relationships.

@CrazyMusicLover I suppose when people do things online, the "return on investment" is higher.

The satisfaction may be less but then the BS factor is WAY less.

What is sad though is that for those who do want something real but cannot find it, they think it is somehow their own fault even though it may not be.

I used to know literally hundreds of people from work to the 'then' rave scene back in the late 80s early 90s. The older and wiser i got the less people were in my life. I have 2 real friends out of the 100s i knew. Which shows that quality will always beat quantity. You truly arent missing much as far as lots of people go. I feel for you though but, sometimes online friends are the ones you can tell almost anything to without you having the fear of them dirting on you in RL. I truly hope you find 1 good friend even at some point. Because honestly it more than equates to alot of 'acquaintances. I wish you well.
It's not as strange [i]these[/i] days to have no real-life friends. People have grown away from themselves and each other. I [i]used[/i] to have a few friends in real life, but I don't hear from them, even when I call or write to them. All of society is suffering from this.
@SandWitch I think their state of isolation is fueled by their indoctrination and resulting state of hypnotism. So many people have become machine-like. It's a sad state of being for individuals, and the world, in general. But, I remain steadfast. I hope you're finding your way thought this social maze of smoke and mirrors.

@PhoenixPhail
Smoke and mirrors is a good way of putting it! You know as well as I do that none of it is real. Every aspect of what we experience is nothing more than an illusion of reality. But that's another story for another day I suppose!
@SandWitch I agree; that's [i]exactly[/i] what it is.

Well if it helps I don't have any irl friends anymore, honestly they're not as great as you might think. To me personally I prefer having online friends because it's way easier to find someone who cares about you and shares your interests. If they make you feel important and cared about then I don't think it matters if they're irl or online
I am sorry to hear what you are going through. I may not be a girl but I do know feelings. And it sucks deeply when they are hurt. Your words hit hard with me and I wish the best for you. You are not only beautiful on the outside but also on the inside. Keep your chin up, you are deserving of nothing but the best
I never really had many friends growing up..I had aquaintances and most of those have dispersed over the years. I'm not sure if I'd be friend material anyhow you have to reply to texts in less than a week I'm not sure I can handle that type of commitment.

I think most women are like that

@Tminus6453
You hear it all the time from the friends you don't have and many women whom you've never spoken to also agree with your ego-logic. Got it! Stick with your computer and you'll continue to have virtual friends to play with.

Story of my life. I don’t really have any friends. Even my spouse was a friend of my sister’s before we met.

Unfortunately life isn't easy
We all have different paths thru life
Wish i had better news for you but .........
Strongtea · 22-25, M
Awww, I feel so sorry for you. I don’t have many friends and it’s horrid.
There are many people like you.

Have you no sister or brother, who can introduce you to their friends.

I introduced someone that way to her brother in laws friend. They are suitably matched. And I am pleased. All I got in return was bitterness, and abuse, but does that really matter. I moved two people on, who had difficulty meeting people.

Kind of unusual when we are kids.
As grown ups though, most people want friends but life gets in the way.
If someone is married, they get domesticated into non-existence.
Even if not, there's adult obligations like work. Even during our time off, we just want to relax or catch up on other stuff.
Kind of a lonely way to go through life.

I understand that pain 100%. All the friends I've had are online. Live has been difficult for the 30 yrs I've been living but friends online are still real. It's just they are far away. Life is good because of those friends online. I wouldn't be here without them.
MrSmooTh · 31-35, M
Its probably because you're really pretty and they feel threatened by you. You just need to find other really good looking girls to hang out with.
LordShadowfire · 100+, M
Wow. I hope that you find what you're looking for. I really do. Don't lose hope.
