It's not necessarily a bad thing. Depends how much it bothers you.

At school, I was never invited to birthday parties or around to people's houses. During uni I didnt really have any friends. Now at work I have collegues but not friends. Do you think this is bad and I should go and find friends?
Might as well give it a try of having threads, so you know what you are or are not missing out on. You only live life once.
I haven't been invited to someone's birthday party for ages and had little friends.
I'm trying to fix that now I'm in college.

Never. It makes you look desperate.
Just be you.

If you're asking this question, it suggests that you want to have a few close friends. So you first need to identify what exactly is preventing you from making friends and persevere to resolve those issues.

I'm in my first year of university and I'm in the same sort of situation. I talk to people if I get the chance and have been to a handful of socials. But I don't really have any close friends or any real friendship group. I do feel like I'm missing out sometimes, but I can't bring myself to do anything about it due to being a bit socially awkward and not good with people.
There are good and bad things about it. For me it's good that I can do what I want whenever I want and don't really have to plan around anything. And I save money because I'm not spending a load of money on every single SU event or social. But at the same time it gets boring sometimes. You only live once, and I just feel like I'm missing out on a big part of life.

It's not a problem. I'm also a 'me' person and I have no apologies to anyone. It's the way I have chosen to live and I find I have peace of mind and less friendship squabbles.

All good points tbh.
I'm glad I only have a very small group of friends and I live quite far from them. I appreciate the time spent with them even more than if I saw them often but I also get a lot of alone time which I value. It isn't bad to not have friends at all.
I'm soooo jealous of people who can survive without friends!

Interesting, I presumed you would be an extrovert.
