How to make new friends when I dont have friends
My question to be answered is essentially:
Given I as an adult (30F) don’t have any friends, how can I go about making friends without the «not having friends» make people sceptical of me?
Troughout my teenage years i typically had one close friend at a time. After starting college I moved around a lot and just did not keep any friends. I guess I have low social needs. As a comparison my sister with the same background has kept friends from every place we lived. I have a bf who I live with, a good job, good finances. The issue for me in adulthood has been that I have been so afraid of people being weirded out by the fact that I don’t have any friends, that I have just avoided getting to know people too closely. I fear the suggestion to «just bring some of your own friends to this party» etc. My bf has to lie to his family when they ask about my friends.
How can I navigate meeting new people and making friends without making the fact that I already don’t have any friends a big topic?
