I have the same problem: no friends whatsoever. Although I do have a job and I talk to my coworkers. I had two very close friends in high school, but after hs I had something of an emotional breakdown and I became a recluse like OP. I want to catch up with my old friends, in fact one has been calling me to hang out, but I've gained a lot of weight since the hs days and I'm don't want to be judged.
