To wonder why somebody would go through life with no friends?

[damnedgrubble]

I don't mean no friends now, I mean no friends ever? Surely a person must have had at least one friend when they were at school?
I fail to see how this would happen to a person if I'm honest, it's so bizarre.

Oh yeah cause you've met one aspie/person with autism you've met them all.

If you've met one person with aspergers/autism then you've met one person with aspergers/autism - can't remember the name of the man who said it now but he has aspergers/autism and wrote a book about it - I read it a couple of years ago.

I only have one best friend aged nearly 30 and 2 or acquaintances... i have suffered anxiety in the past and tbh it is hard to meet decant people. I started university in september and all though there is a group of women i spend my lunch breaks there with i wouldnt persue a friendship with them as they are quite unkind behind one another's backs so it makes me wonder what they would say about me! Theres also people with aspegers and social anxiety etc it quite normal and not at all bizarre.

Yes I do have a husband.
He's very much like me. Happy in his own company and never made me feel I ever had to see him, do the same hobbies as him, like the same things as him.
Unlike 'friends' who often expect you to do things for them, help them, put yourself out for them and they expect you to like similar things to them and hold similar ideals to them.
Maybe my DH is my only friend that I've had but he never had expectations of me to behave in a particular way or like particular interests.

People who had at least some acquaintances throughout school/college/university can seriously underestimate how difficult it is to start making friends as an adult. It's easy enough to say turn up to a book club or whatever and make an effort but if your last experience of socialising was playing on the swings aged 8, you're unlikely to have social skills that're on par with the average adult.
