[quote=Anonymous]I am 36 and single and have spent most of my life with zero friends. (I was a really, really weird kid. I almost pass for normal now, with a few big quirks.)  Social media has helped a LOT in terms of having people to talk with, though even now I have fewer than 100 FB friends, and half those are relatives.

Anyway, all that to say I do not want a "large" social circle, because I wouldn't be comfortable with that, but I would like a bigger social circle than I currently have. I have about two people who ... well, I can call them to shoot the shit on the phone. I see one about once a year and the other more often but not socially.

I'd like to have more friends so that when I want to try a restaurant I don't have to go by myself with a book. So that I'd always have someone to go to the movies with. So when something funny or exciting happens I'd have somebody to call and tell. So during the winter I could go for a walk after work and have someone to go with and it'd be safe. So I had people to be with on holidays. I am lonely.

I am at the point now where I have enough acquaintances through Twitter & FB that I can see how other people have friends, and realize just how much I'm missing. [/quote]
