Did you have trouble making friends while getting older?

Question

I'm 20, almost 21 and I don't have any friends. I have a few mental illnesses so I have trouble talking to people. I didn't really have friends while in high school. The few people I talked to moved on with their lives. I was also bullied so I just lost my self esteem. Has anynone been through this and did you eventually make friends?

Answer

I had some good friends in high school. After it got less. Then at 22 I moved 35-40 min away and basically lost all. I text some but that's it. I've made some friends where I am now and some in school. But all my friends have kids , husbands and work. So it's harder once you get older unless you're into the same things to go do a lot.
Plus my SO works a lot so when he has free time we usually take off to go off-roading or camping. We take lots of vacations. That's hard as well. 
I totally understand. It'll get better. You just need to find that one friend that really sticks by you.

Answer

it's definitely different. but i think it's a good different. i'm 25 but i've gone through soooo many close "friends" since i was 20, it's so strange. but you learn what kind of friend you are and what kind of friend you really want/need eventually whereas when you're in high school anyone who's relatable and nice is friendship-material lol

Answer

I have 3 friends 😂 2 from high school and one made a few years after but I only see them once every few months or so.., and it's soon to be two (that are local anyway) as one of my friends is moving out of the country... so majority of my life is spent with family... I also don't have the best making friends skills... I can be shy which I guess comes off as bitchiness or whatever so people don't tend to come knocking down my door to hang out lol

Answer

I still have issues making friends and I'm 25..i guess its just hard for me to relate to people cause i dont really have any hobbies or anything to really talk about..Plus im married and now that I'm pregnant im closer to some of my family
