I still think of my neighbor, Mrs. Peterson — this super nice lady who always waved or smiled whenever she saw me but never came to the block parties or the birthday parties we had in our neighborhood. I always wondered in my mind whether she was hiding out because she liked to be alone, or did she not have any close friends to fall back on? This was a puzzle to me but I never asked her.
This article will bring out 12 very tiny clues that can hint a woman may not have close friends.

She Doesn’t Say Much About Spending Time With Friends
When someone doesn’t tell you that she sees her friends for coffee, has birthdays or even talks over the phone with them, it reflects that she isn’t really social.
She Prefers Solitary Activities
A woman who loves to knit, garden, or read just likes her alone time. But if those solitary activities are her primary way of being in the world, then perhaps she doesn’t have many good friends to spend time with. I know it’s wonderful to be independent, but when you have no connection with others, it could mean that you are lonely.
She Avoids Social Gatherings
Missing out on parties, reunion dinners, even simple dates can be a signal of social awkwardness. With no close friends around to go with her, these experiences can be too much to handle.
She Often Keeps Conversations Surface-Level
She might stick to polite and casual chats, avoiding deeper topics. This could mean she doesn’t trust people enough to share her thoughts and feelings with. Without a close friend to talk to, she might get used to keeping everything to herself.
She Doesn’t Seek Emotional Support
If something does not work out for her, she may try to do things on her own instead of turning to others for help or reassurance. This independence can be a sign of courage, but did it ever occur to you that it can also mean she has no friends she can count on whenever she needs help?
She Isn’t Connected to Her Social Media
You’d probably scroll through her account and find it has no self-posts, tags with friends, or celebrations. Some are quiet online, but this online sombreness can suggest a life without frequent socializing or close friendships.
She Never Celebrates Milestones in the Public
Birthdays, promotions or anniversaries can pass without a fuss. If she doesn’t have close friends to share them with, she might be happy to leave them behind even if they have meaning to her.
She Hesitates to Join Group Activities
She might feel she doesn’t belong in a book club, a gym class, or a community event because she doesn’t know how to connect with others.
She Rarely Shares Personal Stories
When talking about her life, she might stick to factual updates or neutral topics. And if she doesn’t share the juicy details, maybe that’s because she doesn’t have juicy details – or anyone she’s comfortable opening up to.
She Is All Alone for Most of Her Downtime
We all need some alone time, but if you’re regularly solitary on evenings and weekends, you might not have enough good friends. And it’s not simply loneliness — it’s not having someone easy to contact and make plans.
She Isn’t All That Motivated to Create New Relationships
If she is unwilling to meet new people, it could be a sign of something more. Over time, she may have grown used to her own company, making the idea of making new friendships seem intimidating to her.
She Loves Her Routine
Routines can be so comforting, but they can also become an escape from social interaction. Maintaining the same routine could be a sign that she doesn’t have many close friends to push her to do something new or to venture outside of her comfort zone. (She might enjoy her usual Friday night movie at home rather than attending a local book club or trivia night.)
