Friendships are not based on numbers. its about quality of friends. But having friends is good, though you still can have a social life by taking your partner out to Meetup and related community event where you both socialise with like minded people. No problem having few friends but its healthy to have a social life.


I definetively agree, easier said than done in my case though.

I'm married with no friends and am happy to stay that way. I get all the people time I need from work projects or (since a couple of months ago) posting here. My wife has her own group of friends and goes out with them regularly. I stay at home with my cat and enjoy the peace and quiet. When I was younger I found it hard to make friends. I did have a few for a while, and had a go at having a social life for a few years, but it wasn't easy. Once I met my wife I basically decided to quit while I was ahead.


That sounds like a good compromise.

I was in a 2 month relationship until yesterday. I have one friend and he is only a friend at work. I am sad right now, but will soon be happy and move on to the next adventure.

Know that feeling too well, hope you're doing okay at least.


I'm coping, thanks. It helps that I'm extremely introverted so don't feel much need of social interaction.

Sorry for that. It's very true what you're saying, many just tend to forget that sometimes. Good you're staying positive.
