Making friends as an adult is hard (2021)
I don&#x27;t have any friends. I&#x27;m almost 40 and haven&#x27;t had any friends since about 13. Each year since then I&#x27;ve averaged &quot;going out&quot; between 3 to 5 times per year for a &quot;social thing&quot;.<p>I think about wanting friends all the time. But then I think I don&#x27;t really have anything of value to add to a friendship. I guess I have a low opinion of myself. When I think about what I&#x27;d hope for a friendship to be, I just don&#x27;t know. Meet once a week for a beer? I&#x27;m not an interesting person and don&#x27;t have hobbies.<p>I do dream about getting married. And I have fear that the imagined wife would want a wedding, and I&#x27;d have no best man or groomsmen.
