Like, why is it so widespread, what causes it, what solutions are available, etc. I don’t really know how to ask this question so I hope I’m making sense

Bud I hate to be the one to tell you this but making friends as an adult has been difficult for many generations, and what’s worse is that it only gets more difficult with each passing year.
You gotta get out there and make it happen. No one else will!
Get out where? If you have no friends where do you go? Some bar where you stand around awkwardly by yourself while everyone else came with friends?
Extracurriculars like kickball and other chill sports groups, hobby meetups, some bars have nights dedicated to speed dating/meeting folks. You have to look around but that stuff is happening and you need to get over the social hang ups (if you have any) that you are above these more coordinated attempts at socializing. They are there for a reason!
Okay I’ll just get over crippling social anxiety. Great advice. Thanks.
I don’t think that’s a very fair response considering you’ve made no mention of this being an issue. It just sounded like you were curious where to look, I was just trying to be helpful. I am happy to discuss solutions that might work better for you personally if you want or I am perfectly fine just leaving you alone if you’re not seeking that out. Whatever works for you!
Yes, if this is an issue you have: you should start taking steps to address it!
There are a number of online services to get you started, or see a therapist for personalized help from a professional. Mental health issues are real, but can be addressed with the right treatments. They won’t likely go away on their own, you’ll need to find the right strategies that work for you and then put in the effort & time to address it.
