How commen is it to not have friends as an adult?
I'm 27 and I made a lot mistakes after 22.5 just gave up for little/isolated myself/cut off almost everyone. Long story short, I'm in an amazing spot now. I had work on myself alot. Health, mental, career, and have couple hobbies. The only issue is that I have no friends outside 2 people grew up in my hometown who still live their and I do not.
I have started putting myself out their and actually seeing some success. I wouldn't say friends yet, but least friendly acquaintances who actively make an attempt to talk to me. I wouldn't say we necessarily connect, though.
I wanted to ask how common my situation is. Being an adult with no friends bc least from people started interacting with recently seems like everybody has some social circle. (Plans for weekends, recounting recent stories, etc). I know prob anomaly, but didn't expect be as much given headlines always see loneliness epidemic.
