Do you guys think age plays a role in how hard it would be to find friends??

could someone feasibly find friends in their 50's?

I think so! My mom and dad still meet new people and they’re in their 50s and 60s respectively

Sure, you don't just forget how. You might be rusty at it or give up on it faster because it's more COMPLICATED as you get older, but they can push through if they're motivated to reach out.

My mum was making friends constantly preCOVID.

I think age might make it harder to make friends in certain other age groups, but even then harder is not impossible.

GOOD

because i wanted to know since my parents dont have friends and it's really depressing

they never go out to have coffee with anyone or hang out after work and talk or do anything interesting

they go to work, then come home. repeat cycle and sometimes maybe they go to the store for groceries

I would say it's harder because when you're young, school life basically forces you to interact with strangers. As adults, it's harder to meet new people I feel. But no, not possible.

it's def harder for me bc i am homebound/disabled now and i don't leave my home to make friends. when i was younger i occasionally made a work!friend, but i also made a ton of internet friends that i was able to meet up with and they became lifelongs! now i live in a different state and have had no friends since moving here in 2017.

it's also hard when one is Old but cannot find same age range people that are also into the same things, most people my age/my husband's age have given up all the stuff up that we still love.

i did make a couple Work Friends back in the early aughts that i am still vague online friends with, but if not for work (and I no longer work) i have no idea where i would find friends

i am speaking as An Old

ohhh
