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.

Every person you will meet at a church is only a step away from being a progressive, same with most people in rural areas who voted for Trump. They don't think they're being displaced, they don't mind giving Israel billions (many, if not most, don't even know or care), they aren't aware that Republicans are partially responsible for enacting gun control, they complain about "illegal immigration" without thinking about the implications of legal immigration (which has always been exponentially higher in number). It's safe to say most Americans have accept multiculturalism as something that can't be avoided. Most Americans don't mind being consumer-whores. Anyone who separates people into red and blue is blue-pilled. As the article indicates, social atomism is taking it's course as a result of materialistic mindsets and increasing ethnic enclaves, with whites becoming a mere ambivalence (hence the fixation on white privilege).

Nothing to tie us down but jobs we don't need, to buy things we don't need, to dream dreams that are mild at best. No wonder there are "shooters" out there who respond to their situation by killing random people (or targeting mosques and synagogues, which still ignores the fact that it's our own people as much as Semites who made this mess). Something has to happen if we want to truly pursue a fulfilling life, to wage war, to explore, to have adventure.
