How old were you when you had your first friend(s)?

Post Reply New Topic

Just curious. About me, I had my first friend when I was almost 10, and he was a boy. A few months later I had another friend, who was a girl, that has been my second friend.

Around 4-6 because that was when I had both daycare early on and then later, primary school. It's tough to say because I didn't have any 'best friends' during this period...and in fact, I didn't really consider anyone my friend but I know, for a fact, that they considered me their friend. Then again, when I think back to this period, I feel like I remember people betraying my friendship; guys who I thought were cool with me, suddenly insulting or harassing me.

really early on, i voted 2-3. i mean what is a "friend" anyways when you are that age. you can barely talk etc . it was mostly facilitated by parents and i think my frienships were more or less normal until i was 10 and got into secondary school. i think this is a common thing. when peer groups are the most important thing in the world, that's when many people with AS really get problems and the same happened for me. so just because i had my first friends really young, doesn't mean that i am ok socially.

I guess you can say I made the first friend at the age of 5. I still talk to this person today. Other friends I made at 7-10 I still talk to today. Most of the friends I made in high school came and went. So did most of the friends I made in my 20's. The social divide becomes more obvious in high school and at that point, it's all about your social status moving forward it seems.

3. This girl who lived across the street from us always came over and hung out and she was older than me. I am not sure I should count others like my dad has this friend and he had this son who as the same age as me so he and his wife and child always came over and we always came over to their place. Their son and I would wrestle and we played ball in their yard. When we lived with my dad's other friend for ten weeks, he had a daughter who always came over and I liked her and would play with her. She was older than me.

I was about 8. I made friends with this kid who was about 6 who lived in the neighborhood. I also became friends with his 15 year old brother.

Preschool. 5, my problems are mostly not social, it's just functioning in general.
right now it's puberty.

I've always had a few friends my age, I feel a bit younger so most of my friends are usually younger.

In sense I can respond with two answers. Probably when I was in preschool or kindergardern. But then I went mute at 8, so after the mutism spell, I'd say 18. Technically between 3-5 but most relavently to my current life, at age 18.

14

At 7 I think, in 2nd grade, we used to go over to each others houses every weekend. I had a few singular friends throughout primary school (never more than one at a time). I didn't belong to any groups of friends until senior high school.

till school i was literally mute due to the domestic voilence in my house
after that i started talking and mixing with people whille in college
but i performed horribly in first two years
and in final year of college i was able to make one good friend

so i would say that when i was 19-20 i made my first friend

If you mean kids my age I played with, then the age would be 2-3.

I do think you mean friends, as in people you enjoy being with and are on equal ground, then I was probably around 15.

I had quite a lot of friends until puberty, after which it was too difficult to maintain any friendly relationships with anyone for a prolonged period of time.
