Remember all the drama over who would score Top Eight friend spots on MySpace? Well, it's almost 20 years later . . . and if anyone was still on MySpace, they'd have a lot of empty spots next to Tom.
In a new survey, 39% of Americans say they haven't made a new friend in over a year . . . and a similar percentage haven't gone to a party in at least six months.
And the numbers are probably even more extreme than that, because this was only a survey of people who say they enjoy traveling with friends.
37% of people say they feel like they've "been in a rut" socially . . . and 26% say that their social lives feel repetitive.
Not everyone in the survey could even name a "best friend," but among the people who DO have at least one, the most common number of best friends is just TWO. A far cry from the eight-plus everyone had in the MySpace days.
