Is it too late to develop a social life in your mid 20s if you never had one prior? (slrpnk.net)

I never had a social life, either romantic or platonic, and I'm wondering if anyone else has gone from 0 social life to an active one past college. Like I wasted college just going to classes and I graduated already. Thoughts?

I feel like the most important thing to take away here is to not feel pushed to have a social life. One city I lived in I had one friend I really considered a friend and the rest were mostly in the background (though fun to hang out with time to time).

For me a social life is enough if I find a single person who is capable of listening and rolls with bouncing ideas off each other.

May or may not apply to OP but zero social life sounds like they're an introvert.
