I'd say about 9/10. I've never had a girlfriend, I've been on a few dates, but only with girls I (and probably most others) find entirely unattractive.
I have maybe 1 true friend. I met him through a college buddy whom I'd see a few times a year (only lives an hour and a half away). Turns out we both feel the same way about this guy and have many common interests and personalities. It's been a couple of months now that we've been hanging out on a weekly basis (which is significant considering neither of us go to any great lengths to hang with people on a regular basis AND we live an hour and a half away). I think this could turn into something really good and long-term.
Other "friends" are superficial at best. I've probably lost most of them by now anyway because I have been in self-inflicted isolation for months.
I have some family whom I see occasionally. But to be honest, I don't feel loved by most of them. My lonliness would probably be complete if it wasn't for my previously mentioned friend and my mother. She's a very down to earth person and I feel like I can talk to her about most anything.
After reading other posts in this thread, I feel like I'm not nearly as bad-off as some of you. Yet I'm still depressed and feel that if this is all life has to offer then I might as check-out early.
