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.

Who said anything about obesity or even curing obesity? I said fat. A fat person engaging in physical training and sticking to a diet and not overconsuming sugar derivatives to prevent himself from turning into a slob again will be a much more scientifically healthy person as opposed to a fat person going to a psychologist and receiving anti-depressant + self deception. Get your facts straight psychology faggot.

ask me how I know you're fat
as someone who comes from a family of 400lb+ hamwhales, I gain weight very easily. But if you saw me in person, you would automatically assume I was in that category of lazy Adonis' who just 'naturally' are strong and muscled. It took me 2 years, lifting every day, to get to where I am now. And now, you're right! I just have to keep a proper diet and do a couple pullups/pushups to maintain a level of fitness and size you sound envious of. Get a fucking membership or barbell and quit bitching you pathetic coward
