Imagine having no close friends
I dont
I'm very happy, love my brother, sisters and parents. We respect and understand each others space and privacy.
I do desire communication and connection, just not from people who have no vested interest in maintaining positive and drama free relationships, which happens to be 99% of people in my opinion.
I know my fam, they know me. That's all I need.
And some women from time to time

It's easy to lose close friends when you transition from high school to college to real life as guys move away and go to different stages of life. Still possible to keep in touch though, but it depends on some factors.
But making friends is different as you get older. Im not a cynic, but a hell of a lot of men are insecure and only want to associate with cats that are similar to them, or in the same circles.
This wasn't always the case but sometimes I'd try and make 'friends' in college and beyond but because I wasn't in the same social group, took care of my appearance to a better standard, got more hoes, etc. I'd face passive aggressiveness and indifference
That type of insecurity goes hand in hand with simping, but that's another discussion.

I got the same group of friends I had since I was in elementary. We brothers at this point, we know alot of each other’s family and one person’s mama house is basically like all of ours. Anybody else that comes is usually just an acquaintance.

Yes, no man is an island. You need some ppl that you close to, being out in this world alone ain't good longterm
Quality friends are hard to come by.
the problem for me has been that my family is so
Solid and great, quite frankly, never needed too many outside friends. My fam got all types. And all
Professions
i can say i have one homey and one homegirl who are my “ call at 3am for bail money” type.
sadly my best men at my wedding will
Mostly be cousins and uncles.

I had a girl like that before. She worked retail and I was in culinary school. She said she don't have time to wait for me to start making real money. Once I got out and got a good job she tried to switch up and I was over it. She had to go

It’s one thing to have a small, tight-knit circle of friends but being a complete loner is not a flex.
It requires more intention and work to make and maintain friends out of college but it’s not impossible. Develop hobbies / join group activities (e.g. city sports leagues) or social / alumni clubs, be personable and chat / network with people. People feed off positive energy.
That level of trust and comfort may not be the same as those from your childhood and college but I firmly think everyone needs some form of a social network

This is why so many relationships fail. If your girl is your best friend you won't have anyone to really help you get over it that ain't family.
Men and women put too many roles on their respective partner and eventually it gets too much. The pressure is stifling and ruins the relationship
