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.

For instance, Facebook doesn't connect you to anyone other than someone you might know. It's not in the business of making sure the suggestions you see end. It fills everything up with nonsense fake accounts from south Africa or india… and this is despite the fact there might be 300,000 people in the immediate 100 square miles.
This SHOULD be an easier feat to accomplish; connecting someone that lives near you.
I was able to add 2,000 people and they were all south African, weird Korean fake profiles, or Islamic profiles that were all mostly fake.
The phenomenon of click farms and fake profiles are being used deliberately to isolate people and their social networks for manipulation.

Google is definitely helping them since theyre both big into the mind control scene. They actually brag about it and its open news for everyone to digest.
Theyre using technology and human experimentation in order to control peoples lives.
There is nothing stopping them from making everyone you've ever developed a relationship with from stonewalling you and making sure youre too socially irrelevant to inheret whatever your parents are handing down.

Everything we use, eat, drink, drive, touch (from the fabric of clothing to the plastic) and everything we see on tv, phone/computer screens to LED light bulbs and traffic lights is wholly against us. It would be funny if it wasn't so sadistic.
