How come I don't have 3 or 4 friends to hang out with?

Post Reply New Topic

I knew of someone who had 3 or 4 friends from university days who were still going out and seeing each other possibly even in their early-mid 30s and seen at a bar somewhere in a selfie or having a fun day out somewhere. I have few friends and are not the type of people she has got. That's what I feel sometimes I'm missing. Not so much the drinking and stuff but just the socialising and laughing.

The best thing to do is not to compare yourself with others. If you don't compare yourself to others, you will be a much happier person.

I know but seems easier said than done. I still sometimes can't help but still feel alone in my situation. I've got few close friends of my age and one or two I know are more severely autistic than I am and not as social than I am. It still feels like a lot of people I know of from family and work colleagues who are in their 30s are married, got families and even those who are not are in some form of relationships. My uncle's eldest daughter turned 30 recently and she and her partner of nine or ten years as far as I am aware haven't got kids and have a dog and not married.

I would presume it's because you haven't made and maintained 3 to 4 friendships with people who you'd enjoy hanging out with.
