The problem with this is that "making friends" feels frowned upon. You're supposed to have friends, and perhaps make some more, THAT is OK. But to be in square one and try to make friends, people look harshly at that. People expect you as a dude in your 20s to already have contacts in your phone, facebook friends to like your pictures, to hear your WhatsApp buzzing all the time, etc..
I think it's bullshit when someone gives you a tip to make friends. In the real world if you've passed your teenage years and you still don't have any friends, people will not be interested in joining circles with you because you have no circles. They look down upon you, albeit in a friendly way, and consider you an acquaintance.
My experience at least.
I wish I didn't spend my time playing Oblivion and Battlefield as a kid and hung on to a bunch of high school motherfuckers and kept hanging out with them. I missed out on that once-in-a-lifetime ticket into a proper social life.
