They realize not everyone wants to really be your friend, and will usually wind up: disappointing you, hurting you, or using you. The majority of my "friends" I met in college- I no longer speak to. They either moved on with their lives, stopped talking to me, or we went our separate ways. Same with high school friends, former coworkers I was close with... are y'all seeing a pattern here?
Finding friends, REAL friends, that will be there for you, understand you, and are trustworthy, are hard to come by nowadays. Even moreso for young people. Why risk it? I'm not saying living that way is healthy or ideal, but it is possible to live without friends. And yes, some people are happier alone than dealing with others; she might be an introvert or prefer her own company.
As for the girl on your campus? She sounds like she's more focused on other priorities in life: work, her studies, or just doesn't want to deal with people. I see no problem with her choice. It's not bad. As long as she's not a bitter, rude person that distances herself from everyone, let her live her life :)
I thunk its commendable that she wants to be alone. I wish I would have her guts. Personally for me, I don't think it's okay because I really like to have social connections and I love mingling with people and talking to different people. I am trying to balance it out by hoping to not involve myself with every person. But, tbh, I think she has understood this that it's better to be alone rather than being in the company of fake people.
Because some people have a hard time trusting others. We´ve been disappointed in the past or have different hobbies. I don´t go for parties or like strong alcohols. I´m not good at sports and I´m more kind of a day dreamer.
She might prefer to stay alone because she might have been played in the past by males and females.
She probably needs a person that starts investing in her proving he/she is interested just because she´s beautiful.
She is probably trying to avoid unpleasant heartache when she graduates and leaves the area either to go back home or to where she plans to live after school. It's hard when you make friends in school and then leave after graduation. She may also have come from a military family or a family that moved around a lot and doesn't want to make friends she'll yet again never see again.

I've noticed that this behavior seems to be becoming more common.
I also wonder if some people like that have been hurt by people and have a hard time opening up. I know that is an issue I have. I'm a loner by nature and greatly enjoy my time to myself, but would still like to have more friends. Unfortunately, I have been described as a very distant, closed off, and hard person to get to know. I've just had enough people use things against me or otherwise hurt me that it takes awhile for me to share much with them or get comfortable around them. I also tend to worry that I'm annoying people and therefore don't really speak much unless I'm spoken to. I tend to have a really hard time opening up and letting anyone close, and they often mistake it for me not being interested in talking to them. This is probably the hardest thing I'm having to learn to change about myself in my life.
Sometimes it's better to be alone, especially at times when you need some space for yourself to consider life and your future. Or when you just get burnt out from all the drama and pettiness.
Or, just not wanting to feel like a burden (insecurities), so you'd rather be alone.
Or you just want to be alone. 😐
I personally don’t have many friends because of one particular reason.
I have had many best friends that when we get together we only talk about their problems the whole night. All though I understand this friend might be going through a difficult time, they never take advice and keep complaining about their issues.
So I’d rather spend my time doing something else other than listening to a problem this friend won’t solve.
Some people are hurt beyond repair. Some are loners and enjoy their lonesome time. If you've been hurt pretty badly and had terrible experiences then you might not want to deal with people or others. So trust issues can not only be with a partner but friendships too. Good friends are rare.
My reason is that people just use you fro something. It’s in our nature people are selfish. In my experience people got what they wanted from me and once they got it they left. But no matter what I think even though they used me they won’t forget the memories we made and that being said we most likely miss each other. But just the way the friendship was built was wrong and sometimes you care more about your friends than they cared about you.
Maybe they're just trying to keep their grades up. That's actually a legitimate thing, believe it or not. The first year I went to college, I made a point not to try to make any friends. And it paid off big time, because I made the Vice President's List.
Can i get that girl's phone number? She sounds perfect to me.
I'm the same way as her. We can be alone together. My dream is to find another woman like me and we can live our lives together and away from most people.
I can think of two reasons - one could be she thinks men and woman lust after her or have crushes on her and finds that disgusting or she was sexually assaulted or violated as a child and is terrified people will learn her secret.
I can easily understand why they'd date less, but I'm not sure that they wouldn't make friends as well for the same reasons. After all, dumb and dumb still click. This one has me answerless.
I've been excluded since childhood so I would be surprised if someone was to actually, genuinely want to be my friend.
Because of the pandemic
I have a few friends and generally see them once or maybe twice a year so it didn't really affect me people who saw friends every week were screwed
I work at a local college and I watch groups of kids walking between classes. The kids do not talk to each other. They have their nose buried in their cell phones.
People suck. Especially women. Their so emotional and it’s hard to have a conversation with anyone these days without some kind of drama.
Emotional abuse tarama fake friends drama sociel axiety abuse in any way or form. To protect ones self. To heal instead of being hurt
The earbud cocoon. Too many people of my age just want to shut everyone out.
Friends usually disappoint you. After high school I learned who my real friends are and just stopped trusting a lot of people
Maybe she realized that people were not worth it to be be friends with.
She's me. I'm tired of humans and their nonsense. I feel at peace when I'm with myself.
Nice of you to try. Some people are just introverted. Some are schizoid and don't really derive much pleasure from socializing. Etc.
