Is it normal to be lonely at 21?

I dont have many friends or anyone too talk to, its just boring. Is it normal at this age coz i saw somewhere that its true. But im also going uni in london which i thought would of had some social aspects.

I can relate. Ever since high school ended all my close friends and I drifted apart. I haven’t had a real friend in years. I am also 21, but I don’t start school until fall so maybe that will help? I still have issues making friends since I am awkward and have some social anxiety.

hey, i kinda relate to this. i moved out from my hometown after my school and so did my friends. We all live in different cities and everyone's busy with their own schedule, there are times when I just don't feel like talking to anyone. Had bad experiences with friendship so now I'm always on alert. University gets v overwhelming after a point.
