I am very saddened by the general attitude people come at about making new friends with age, on any side of the discussion. I've got like 30 friends right now (active, some friends are still friends but show up once a year or something), and I started with half that in my 20s. It has been growing slowly. Yeah some people fell out (Trump related more than anything else) but like, I just made 7 new friends in the last few years and it wasn't hard. It was just being open to meeting new kinds of people.

By the way: I'm an introvert

I would call bullshit, but out of the real friends I have, there's exactly one I didn't know back then. There's a couple I wasn't really friends with then, and friends from then I'm no longer in contact with, but yeah.
