Accepting that making friends doesn’t come easily is
a vital step toward self-acceptance, reducing anxiety, and building a fulfilling life on your own terms. It involves shifting your self-perception, embracing your personality, and recognizing that quality, low-maintenance connections are often more rewarding than a large social circle.
Here is how to accept this reality and move forward positively:
Reframe Your Self-Perception: Understand that having difficulty making friends is not a personal failure, but often a result of personality type, lifestyle, or simply not having met the right people.
Embrace Your Own Company: Shift your mindset to appreciate the freedom and self-discovery that comes with being alone. You may find you are genuinely happy on your own, notes this YouTube video.
Stop Forcing It: Trying to force connections can feel draining. It is okay to take a break from trying to make friends if it feels like a chore, say Succeed Socially.com.
Stop Seeking External Validation: Accept that you do not need a wide social circle to be a complete person. Focus on your own interests and values, which can lead to a deeper understanding of yourself, explain Quora users and this YouTube video.
Be Patient and Kind to Yourself: Free yourself from your own judgment and the perceived judgment of others. It is perfectly fine to have a small circle or no circle at all, say Quora users.
By focusing on your own happiness and letting go of the pressure to conform, you may find that the right connections occur naturally, or you may find that you are perfectly content without them.

Here are reasons i avoid making friends/avoid socializing –
1) I am embarassed of people getting to know i have no job, no friends, never had a girlfriend, don’t go out, no life etc.
2) I am afraid of commitment i.e having to devote time to friends, having friends phoning me, visiting me, interupting my routine.
3) I am afriad of being pushed into things that makes me uncomfortable for example going to clubs and so on. A female friend of mine mentioned going to a disco when i visited her and i started to panic..I’m glad she changed her mind.
4) I dislike having to think of things to talk about all the time, and having to feel i have to be fun to be with. I often think i have to say funny things to be accpeted.
5) I feel inferior to everyone especially outgoing extroverts/people who have lives.
6) I distrust most people.
7) People talking about sex makes me feel uncomfortable as i can’t relate, and if i did it would be no one elses business.
8) I am against drugs and don’t ever get drunk. I used to have a workmate who would drag me out sometimes and he used to do drugs which made me feel uncomfortable.
