No, I am fine with the ones I do have they are long time friends one from my childhood actually; good friends are not easy to come by; while I know a lot of people I do not necessarily consider them friends they are more like acquanitances.

I had a couple of friends that I used to hangout with, but we started drifting away once I graduated college and they still had a year to go

I have found that to really make friends, you have to get out of the house and meet people. I worked most of my life and between that, raising kids, and taking care of the house, I had no time to make my own friends. So when I retired, I joined some groups of people with similar interest to mine (a book club and a crafts club). It took about a year to really get to know the other people, but now I count 3 or 4 of the others in these groups as good friends.

I also feel this way too.  I have friends, just not close friends that you get together with and have a good time.  I use to have a bowling team that we would get together and have a good time, but we don't bowl anymore and I really miss this.

Meetup is nice, especially they organize a lot of cool things...
but friends.... either you have a couple which are REAL friends, people you can count on when in need... or it is simply acquaintances..

It is difficult to have REAL friends.... what counts the most is the people you live with, your family, your spouse, children etc....
those who are immediately closer to you are the REAL people... but then... we all die alone... so in order to find friends and be happy... you need to be OK with yourself...

Always keep in mind you are n.1 priority! Once you feel good with yourself, you won't be worried anymore about not having enough friends

I don't have many real friends because too many people in the world pretend to care about you when they really don't. I don't have a problem with the not caring, its the pretending. Its a problem when you realize you care about a person more than they care about you. Therefore I have spent the past few years of my life cutting off fake friends or toxic friends. Its very difficult because they won't admit the truth and they keep trying to reestablish the connection. Had to turn off my phone and block many from fb.
