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.

honestly, I think I agree with most posters here, people outside are just terrible. I mean, for friends I would apply even more standards than to females I would say. No drug usage, that eliminates about 90% of people. Self improvement focus, oh boy, I am down to 99.95% of people. People who are a bit racially aware…do they even exist in a radius of a 100km around me lel? Here these kinds of people are like at the opposite numbers. Sure I am sad for having no rl friends, but its better than being around degenerates.

no drug use ever is the best policy. perhaps no alcohol or cigs. it seems shitty, dumb people are drawn to the herbal jew, casual drinking, and smoking every day. although smoking is not the worst.

I had friends in the past who did that kind of stuff, its kinda normal even to the middle class of my own age here in this nation in the west. I mean, it gets dull, this drug culture, be it booze, and then doing these dumb booze gestures, or the dumb weed gestures, I mean its all just memetics that is repeating. Many leftists would say "well you are just anxious and hateful of everyone, you dont open up", but are these people really that fun to be around with I wonder? They treat me almost with pity at times when I mention that I dont do these things. But I still wonder, is my choice not correct?
the only time I truly feel bad of being anti social if I dont put out enough effort with people who dont do this kind of crap, but I have yet to actually meet many of them. And the ones that I do seem to be in somekind of super alpha, chad mode…are we all then I wonder? Are we actually somekind of weird, super alpha, chads that are also kinda socially retarded if that is possible?
Important questions they are lel
