You read it right. I dont even have male friends. The last time i had a friend was 6 years ago. Honestly im not sure why i became like this. Ugliness? Autism? Or shyness, lack of self confidence, i have all of them unfortunately.

I have 3 long time friends, since elementary school. Add one more in HS, so 4 total. I only see one on a regular basis. All of my friends are from before the proverbial s**t hit the fan. I don't make friends anymore because they expect to be invited over and I don't want them over. Irl new friends are a total pain in the ass, imo.

In person friendships seem like a complected hassle to me.

I'm another who has no friends I've met in person. One long-distance friendship, though.

Agree! I have maybe 2 or 3 friends that I communicate with sometimes. I rarely ever get together with them. I sometimes want to make more friends then I try and it is a hassle.
