My friends mostly come from high school and college and are spread around the country. I am an introverted person so I had a small circle of friends.
Where I am now - I have maybe 3-4 people from work that are more than colleagues - ie: I can ask them for favors and not feel guilty, grab a glass of wine at happy hour, go to the sports bar and watch a game. But we rarely if ever hang out at each other's houses or anything.
In college I had spurts where I didn't hang out with many people, then others when I was surrounded by people.
So you could arguably say I have no friends where I live. There is no one I could just call up and say, "hey, let's go hang out." It would have to be arranged well beforehand.
My best friends (2 really close, 1 quite close, and 3 others pretty close - all that I could share feelings with) come from 2nd, 7th, and 11th-12 grade. I never made better friends than that afterwards. for two years during college - the people in my cohort became reasonably good friends that I still occasionally talk to, but not as deep as those earlier ones.
How common is it to not have any friends at all? Is anyone in their 20s or 30s that do not have any friends?
I am not sure about how common it is but I do know for sure that there are people like that who are well into their 20's and 30's and have no friends
I am in my 20's now. I have never had a friend, I have never made a single true friend or even a friend for that matter in my entire lifetime till now be it online or real life. It's sad but true.
May be I'll never have till the end.May be it will be that way. Not everyone is lucky, not everyone gets what they deserve, life isn't that simple.

I feel the same way, it's like if someone handed me a card for my social life, it'd be blank, seriously.
"Raises Hand" I'm one of them. My "Friends" are Pen Pals that live in different states, countries, that I never see, just are friends through letters with. Not the kind that you go out to dinner or a movie with, etc. I still hang out with my favorite cousin about 4 times a year, when we get together and have a party over my house...and there's always my sister. We do everything from Planning trips to planning parties together...My "Best Friend", lives in another state and she was the first pen pal I wrote to. We have a lot in common except the distance between us.
I probably already responded to this, but I would say I have some acquaintances but no good friends. For instance, a woman who I thought was somewhat of a friend recently started acting fake and phony for no reason. Typical scenario. I've never had strong friendships though even when I was younger, so I guess it's just not my thing.
this is common in my age group as I am 40. I have stayed single and all my friends now are married, some who were single moved away from my area so now my friends who have children have no time to hang out and I have 0 friends. Unfortunate but true.
Guys this is so sad IF you want friends.. if you're ok being alone-that's fine.
If you want to make friends... join meetup.com.. it's specifically for people wanting to make friends.
There are various hobbies listed on the website from playing board games to going out for dinner.
best of luck!
I made lots of friends in the past through school, but now that I've moved so much in recent years, it's been hard. Still, my husband is my best friend!
