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.

Just force yourself to go interact with people. Secluding yourself is only going to make it impossible for you to break out of your shell when there actually ARE social situations involving people you are not ideologically at odds with. And quite frankly, despite how poz'd everything is in the west right now, the only way that can even change is if red pilled people stop retreating from the public square. You may be surprised how often it may seem like things aren't quite as bad as seclusion and over-analyzing everything makes them seem(they are still bad). I went out to a neighborhood bar last night and just floated around talking to people. I met this one couple that were pretty gay and stupid. But they wife was obviously into me and the husband was visibly upset. He couldnt do anything about it because he was a liberal pussy, but I had fun with the situation. I met some dudes around my age (30), but they ended up all effeminate downers that wouldnt stop bitching about their week. I ended up hanging out with a table of old fucks who were all telling racist jokes. And when anybody dared to whine or even gawk, we stared them down or told them all to shut up.
The world can sometimes appear like it is not salvageable. That is when it is most important to find a new place to roam and build confidence.
Stop hiding in your office. This planet is all ours.
