In today's society, you think it's common for people to go years without getting invites to things such as drinks, personal hangouts, rides?

How can we possibly generalize that?

To me if I don't get asked for social stuff at least a few times a week I'd be in shock.

If you want to but are not being asked you simply do not have the right connections for what you want. Of course, you can always be the askee too.

Yeah, I think it's more common than people admit. A lot of people have friends they talk to occasionally but rarely actually make plans with. Everyone gets busy, people move, relationships change, and sometimes nobody wants to be the one who reaches out first.

But going years without being invited anywhere can still feel really lonely. If that's happening to someone, I wouldn't automatically assume nobody likes them. Sometimes friendships just need someone to make the first move again. ❤️

It is common amongst older people who don't live near their family. They prefer to stay at home and their human interaction is limited. In the case of young people, covid stunted a lot of people's social skills by forcing everyone inside, online schooling and such and all the restrictions that went on for years. It's not common, but it happens.

yes, once you reach a certain age you really do not have much of a social life.

These days, it seems to be more common because people aren’t as social anymore
