Is it normal for a 27year old female to have zero friends?

It is abnormal, the normal is having friends since we are social animals. I have a female friend who's 15 years old and has a hard time socializing. She's almost always alone, uses a face mask, glasses and wears a face cap. It's because of her insecurities. I'll advice you work on yourself, it's going to be hard but make sure you do... You don't have to work on yourself if you enjoy being lonely, bored, depressed, awkward, etc. Being social has its own perks too but it's advantages are Massive!!! You need people so that you can enjoy life. You shouldn't just exist, you should live... Leave your comfort zone, go out there, be awkward, make mistakes, that's how you'll get better and discover true friends and those true friends can help you get better faster. I have insecurities, self esteem/confidence and I'm working on them. My true friends know this and are helping me get better. You need people to succeed in life, you need people to enjoy life, you need people you can be silly with. This will be for your good. I don't know if what I'll say next will help but, here goes, a way in which I'm getting better is by helping younger people who have low self esteem/confidence, I do this because it helps me in turn... Seeing that those younger people are looking up to me, I can't afford to not take action and confront my own fears. Don't mind this long epistle 😂. I believe you'll be fine if you take action. Don't dwell too much on the past, I'm glad you know the underlying cause of your issue, work on yourself, believe in yourself, believe you're beautiful and you deserve and should give love. Stand in the mirror every morning with your head high and take pride in yourself. You've got a duty: Being a source of inspiration to others 🫡

As a male of 31yrs i am sharing my experience up untill 25yrs of my age i had good friends and decent social life if not the best, and since the age of 26 all my friends started to disappear or started beinf distant from me not only that even my co-workers have been acting strange all of sudden, then i came to know my nymphomaniac aunt is turning people against me, it can be anyone be it friends/family or any network circle, now this bitch has like 15-20 BFs as a back if her primary boyfriend (my co-worker) dumps her, she's doing all this while living with her husband, not only that she's sneaking into my workplace and got me demoted as well back in August 2021, also complained on me to the director of my company stating, you're shit when it comes to work, you have lost your respect and dignity and try building your reputation and you don't know how to communicate with people and you talk rudely? Seriously? I am very polite and humble at my workplace and never had any sort of disagreement nor do i engage in any fights with anyone specifically at my place of work, the moment i joined the company i worked very hard as a fresher to prove that i can do any task if assigned as i never shy away when it comes to work be it large or miniscule, now here comes this bitch she ruined everything all cause i said her trust in herself more rather than overthinking and constantly worrying and feeling paranoid all the time.

Hey 👋. Listen, having friends doesn’t make you any less of a person. People can be mean and evil and care less of what others feel or going through. The older we get, the less friends we have. We all get busy with life, family, career, etc. having friendships takes a backseat or just not in the menu anymore but that doesn’t make you not normal! I have friends too but i rarely see them 🤣. So whatever right

My sister was bullied in school because of her nose - it looked like a bird beak. I hate to say that about her nose but it's true. Finally when she was 15 grandma paid for her to have plastic surgery and she ended up with a normal looking nose. I'm glad she did that, because she ended up getting married for the rest of her life. That might not have happened with her beak nose.

FreyaRed · Answer

I have friends but they aren't really my friends. It's just use others and being used by others, this is essence of mature (((friendship))). You're probably a person who reacts allergic to hypocrisy and cheap flattering, that's why you don't have those pseudo friends who mostly no value.

marshmallowcream · Answer

Aww I’m really sorry to hear that , maybe try to put yourself out there I. e join a backpackers club or go to an adult summer camp to meet new people. This world is full of horrible people unfortunately , specially in elementary ; but at least you dnt have to deal with school anymore

MystiKaL · Answer

You're stuck a vicious circle. You don't have true friends, this is winding you up, you're upset about this and this is knocking your confidence. Whatever you do, don't go out looking for friends, let it happen naturally. Try joining hobby clubs, take up sport, chat to people online with people who have similar interests, etc... and you'll make friends.

Sadly it is becoming more normal for people to have no friends. But just because you don’t have friends now, doesn’t mean you can’t have some in the future. I think the main issue these days is everyone is so competitive with each other so they don’t relax and just have fun with others that much anymore. One place I’d try if you want to make friends is a charity shop. While the volunteers there can be a bit older, they can also be nice to talk to as well. Start small and work from there.

I don’t have any friends due to all the abuse I’ve suffered at the hands of others it’s made me hate people because of it, deep down I’m screaming out for a friend but I know that they’ll abuse me like the others have so I stay alone I hate being alone as it’s just horrible, but I have to live with it as I don’t want to get hurt and abused again.

Welcome home fam
Don’t worry it’s a blessing being alone you have no idea
Focus on your life goals and plans don’t get distracted what other humans think if you. Even if you have a perfect nose they will still talk about you anyways.
Also be confident , if they say you have a big nose then ask them why do they have a small nose. Who said small noses are pretty and acceptable? Lol it’s funny. Don’t worry

ArrowheadSW · Answer

It is not normal to have zero friends. You might consider seeing a therapist over your issues to see how you can progress in life from here. It is sad that you were bullied over your nose. Kids can be cruel!! I hate to hear that.

exitseven · Answer

It is not normal but there are a lot more people today that have no friends. I think it is because of social media.

Raphaëlle · Answer

Having no friends and not socialising are two different things. You can be social and still not have any friends. What kind of friend would you like to have? How would you be a good friend to someone?

kylee2437 · Answer

Not really in my opinion. It can mean that you aren’t really doing anything productive in your life that makes you valuable friends.

fonduegirl · Answer

It's normal, but it's also tragic. I also have nose insecurity. I've been bullied myself. I know it's hard.  I do have a few friends tho.

Truthatanycost · Answer

Many people that think they have many friends, don't have any friends..

Haha456 · Answer

You dont have friends because you dont socialize enough.

TroyDT2 · Answer

Maybe not that far off. I have 100's of acquaintances, but only about a half dozen people I normally let into my house, and only one who has a key.

Rania05 · Answer

Oh, trust me. Lonely women and men are far more common than you think

serious · Answer

Absolutely not. No. I have never had any friends and I am 35 years old so it is totally fine.

joeldalton · Answer

No it's not normal. I don't think another 27 year old would still 'bully' you about your nose.

Chthou95 · Answer

It's unusual for women considering how much easier it has to have a social network of friends. If a guy asked this question then that would have been normal
