Why the average American hasn’t made a new friend in 5 years
Forty-five percent of adults say they find it difficult to make new friends, according to new research.
A new study into the social dynamics of 2,000 Americans revealed that the average American hasn’t made a new friend in five years.
In fact, it seems for many that popularity hits its peak at age 23, and for 36 percent, it peaks even before age 21.
The study, conducted by OnePoll in conjunction with Evite, uncovered that one of the reasons 42 percent of adults struggle to make friends is due to introversion or shyness (((pussifacation and cuckdom))).
And the challenge is not just in breaking out of their shell but also breaking into new social situations and circles.
The majority of respondents cite friendship-making barriers that include aversion to the bar scene where most people choose to socialize, or the feeling that everyone’s friendship groups have already formed.
And how many friends do adults actually have? Turns out, 16. The average American has three friends for life, five people they really like and would hang out with one-on-one, and eight people they like but don’t spend time with one-on-one or seek out.
Most people have remained close with friends they met when they were younger. Nearly half of those surveyed have stayed friends with peers from high school, and a further 31 percent with peers from college.
Kicking it even more old-school, three in 10 Americans say they have made lasting connections with people they met in their childhood neighborhood.
However, 82 percent of those studied feel like lasting friendships are hard to find. The number one cause of lost friendships is moving away, with 63 percent revealing this to be a reason they’ve fallen out of touch with a former friend.

I use /pol/ as a friendship simulator not going to lie.
Been thinking about this for a couple of years now. Modernity promises me a cocoon of vidya, warm cuddlies, cummies, calories, and a stable job so long as I submit on every level. You guys promise me pain, existential anguish, a possibility of the loss of all comfort, the loss of my job, and the vaguest, most distant simulacrum of friendship. Of course I will choose you.
Could modernity change tactics and lure me with friendship? Possibly, but the more I think about it, the more impossible a task that sounds. That would mean that I hang around with other white men in private. That would be an unacceptable risk to the system.
Dear God. If we ever figure out how to market the genuine promise of meaningful friendship to the masses of deracinated, atomised white man.
The Jew fears friendship.
