That mostly applies to “young introverts”.
Once you have this much white in your beard, you’ll have given up on friendships, and will have acquaintances. Good for small talk, occasional discussions, and the rare outing.
My personal issue, at this point is, that I am having trouble figuring out how and who to bring to concerts. I don’t feel like going there alone, but don’t have acquaintances that i feel i can invite. I did once to a live recording of a podcast about some sports, but it was kind of awkward

Learned this the hard way, by not showing up those few special occasions either. Now friendless. No one to blame but myself.

Don’t be too hard on yourself. I don’t think it’s anybody’s fault being how they are. Also, it might be hard to make close friends the older you get you can still meet people with similar interests and just spend some time with other people. Getting out of your own head and seeing others perspectives can really help. Find some groups to join and get over yourself :)
To everyone who still has friends asking you to join. Don’t pass up on those chances. This is the easiest you’ll ever have it.
