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.

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 MAD BRO?
<YEAH U MAD
Never said "all fun", only said that it's a species of fun that you would deny because you're a big ole pussy who can't ride the tiger.
Because having "a beer" means you're gonna get black out drunk? I keep telling you that there's this thing called "moderation" but you can't conceive it because you have no self-control which is why you're afraid of drugs, which is just as bad as doing them excessively. It would be fine if you didn't mess with them and left other people alone as well, but you just had to insist on being that one smug straight-edge puritanical "no fun allowed" faggot. Ride the tiger, faggot.
National socialists did quite a lot of drugs as a matter of fact, they were given methamphetamines by their superior officers, and at the highest level were doing morphine, not that I care for any of that shit as the effects aren't worth it in the long run.
I never implied that at all, only that you're a hypocrite for decrying one while justifying another.
Oh I understand your point, it's just wrong. Drugs can facilitate escapism in just the same way as any other diversion, which is my point, which you are intentionally misunderstanding, that self-mastery isn't precluded by drugs such as moderate amounts of alcohol, weed or coffee. You even straw-manned my point by only talking about getting "black out drunk" as if that's the only type of drunk. God forbid someone drink moderately around you.
