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.

You are a retarded nigger if you equate anything that gives any kind of pleasure regardless of context to getting drunk and stoned or other sorts of fsggotry which I’m sure you will justify as well. Enjoy your sedation and escapism, degenerate.

How is this even remotely retarded at all? You know perfectly well that it does indeed help facilitate pleasure. You're just mad that you're losing this argument and I find it amusing that I can tell how upset you are. Loosen up faggot, control your emotions and stop being such a smug prude. You're not impressing anyone.
It's only an escape if you that's what you're after, and it's perfectly possible to indulge in such escapism by praying to non-existent god or self-flagellation.

Are you a degenerate because you’re retarded or did your degeneracy make you that way? You evoke absolutely zero emotion from me.
All fun is not equivekant to getting black out drunk or sitting around ripping bong hits just like being a tranny is not equivekant to being a man and having faggot sex is not equivalent to heterosexual sexlike you lolbergs hedonist queers want everyone to believe.
You’re double retarded for implying I pray to a god or refuse any and all forms of diversion. You are either missing the point intentionally or too fucking dumb to realize how idiotic your arguments or lack thereof is. Faggot.

You don't HAVE an argument.
