MAN SAYS THAT AS YOU GROW OLDER, YOU LOSE FRIENDS UNTIL 1 DAY NO ONE LEFT TO TALK TO

Is it normal having no one to talk to?

Exclude people from work and family members, how many people do you have that you can talk things about? (e.g. your day, latest movie you watched, etc) I feel like most people would say their partner if they’re in a relationship and if they’re not, they’d probably have a few friends to talk about something.

I used to have them but for the past few years, I’ve had more conversations with myself than actual people. Even when I’ve had people to talk to, they don’t really stick around. I know it’s a thing as we grow older, our social circle gets smaller but is it normal to just be on your own with no one to talk to?

Netizens’ comments

1. I kinda enjoy not talking to anyone for periods of time everyday. I like to focus on my own things first before “connecting” with others.
2. It takes effort to maintain conversations and relationships with people. So yeah it’s normal to eventually have people leaving, no one to talk to. Until you decide you want to have people in your life again, then you make the effort to reach out
3. it’s great you have work friends and good family members. It’s not easy to make friends but you can always try!
4. Difference between being alone and being lonely with people. Part of Success involves finding a tribe/community that you can excel. This is the not the way to go long term.
5. Normal. I kinda prefer not talking to anyone because the efforts I put to sustain the conversation/friendship always get unreciprocated so why bother right?
6. From someone who had voices in the head, please go out and make friends. Find your community or tribe that appreciate you. 
   Im not saying you should find a partner so that your can talk to. Last thing you want is to depend on one person for conversation. It could be sports, hobbies, culture. And if you have social anxiety, discord chat or voice call is fine as well. Do not normalise this. It will kill you in the long run.
