thanks for your replies even though I said nvm 
I was just eh because my fiancé has a bunch of friends and I can't make them easily. I have 2 friends and they have a ton of friends too. I'd just like to have more friends for myself to help support me vise versa. There's no one I talk to about anxiety just people say I'm quiet because it's my nature. It's not just a quiet nature but feeling paranoid a lot :s

My quietness is never looked at as a disorder of any kind either, but what people don't don't understand is that anxiety and paranoia makes people shut down. I am paranoid a lot about what people think of me when I'm in a group situation so I am constantly self-focused, which is very paralyzing. What is important to learn is that people do not see quiet behavior as a bad thing. It is only bad to the person who is quiet based on how desperate they want to come out of their shell and be more outgoing.

Finding a good friend is like a needle in a haystack.

People look at my quietness as a warning. Something to be feared for, cautions or hated. They think I'm ****ed up and/or that I'm rude. I could try to explain more but I always confuse people. There are many more negative things about me that people think simply because I'm quiet and shy.

People used to think I was a stuck up cow because I wouldn't say help if I were drowning. I don't have problems chatting people up if I have to. It's a superficial form of communication that I've learned to act my way through. I still get pretty anxious at times, but I can pop out of my own head long enough to deal with it.
I don't have any true friends. I have plenty of acquaintances, but nobody really close to me. I let people go too easily, I suppose. I also don't go out and socialize either... makes finding folks to be friends with pretty impossible.

@anomicdeer. I understand the pressure that is resulted from being locked within a silent head. I have undergone treatment for this very reason, because I was borderline selectively mute. I started coming out of my shell a little bit, but I am not at the point I want to be yet. People who get to know me personally see after the first few meet ups that there is something not right about my Character. I call it impairment of the cognition because there are areas of my memory and concentration that are seemingly dysfunctional. I've questioned if I have Autism, but it hasn't been an official diagnosis by my psychiatrist. I can't seem to use quick-wit as a response to something that is said directly at me. If someone says something like "God 'Quietguy11' you suck at this." I would cease up and feel blank rather than replying with something witty or funny. I am also extremely passive... which means I automatically get walked over at work. It's like I don't have full control over my thoughts or something... and because this is the case, I fail at the 'communication' that produces lasting friendships and relationships. <_<

4 offline, 0 online. I generally feel people online are a bunch of dicks, so I've decided to isolate myself more-so from online activities. As far as friends for online games, my Ps4 has two people on it, my 360 has 3 people, in both cases its people from the 4 physical friends.
2 of those 4 people either live far enough away now that I rarely see them, and another has a family, so everything else in the world takes a backseat in that regard.

I remember having friends once, it was great. And then one day, I foolishly left them all under the pretence that I could make more. Oh how I was wrong.
Now I have zero friends and have had no real friends for the past 4 years or so.
Does making friends become harder as you get older? That seems to be the general consensus on the internet, and if it's true, that's a very depressing thought I don't want to think about.
