I'm already in my early 30s and have noticed that most people around me have a circle of friends but I don't! I havent had one since college 10 years ago.

While others go out for drinks and watch sports on saturday night I am left home to watch TV alone. No one ever invites me to parties, either.

When younger I was a very shy only child and withdrawn and felt socially awkward. I never hung out with the kids outside of school. Rather than putting me in sports my parents insisted I study and be a good student. Now it seems that approach has made it worst because I have trouble being a team-player because I honestly just dont know how!

I really want to make good friends and find my life partner and not be a weirdo who lives with his cats at age 40. ANY ADVICE?
