dumb question

<p>If you are a college senior set to graduate next spring and the only friend you made in college is your freshman year roommate, would you say that's within the realm of what's considered normal or would you be inclined to think there is something wrong with you? </p>

<p>In my case people assure me that there is nothing wrong with me, but when I tell them that I basically made no friends in college they look at me like I'm weird. Maybe they don't tell me the truth because they don't want to hurt my feelings.</p>

<p>It’s pretty surprising to say the least. Just one friend? Did you never attempt to socialize?</p>

<p>I think it depends on how much you hang out with that friend. For instance if my best friend was here I would be totally fine with the other social interactions in the day (usually in the classroom or with professors), my boyfriend, and her as friends. I wouldn’t need any more friends and wouldn’t really go out of my way to make friendships. I’d rather talk to her then 5 other so-so friends. I have a couple of friends here now (I recently transferred) and a good 5 or 6 at my previous school. I never needed 10, 20, or 30 friends because I rather a few REALLY good friends than a lot of so-so friends.</p>

<p>So, in short, if you hang out with your one friend a lot I don’t see an issue. If you’re more like acquaintances than perhaps you should try being more social if you feel like you’re missing out. Whatever makes you happy. There is no norm.</p>

<p>Plus two acquaintances from some of my classes. I don’t even know their names.</p>

<p>I never really attempted to socialize after my freshman year.</p>
