I (21M) have 0 friends, not even acquaintances. We know extended family on my mother's side, but I barely know them and don't really care about them. My mom wants me to make friends, but I don't want friends at all. I don't care about making friends, I don't need any friends, and I don't want any friends. Friendships don't matter, in my opinion. Friendships may matter to you, but they don't to me.

What I do want is to try and go out, date, and meet women, but my parents keep telling me to make friends first. I don't know how to tell them that I couldn't give less of a fuck about friendships and that I don't need friends (or family) in my life. Any advice? If I truly need a "friend" to get a girlfriend I will make one, maybe two acquaintances, and that's it. And even then, I'm keeping those people at arm's length.

Edit: I could easily go and make friends; I just don't want to. And before anyone asks, there is a difference between having a regular friend and a romantic partner. Obviously, I wouldn't mind befriending someone to get to know each other and see where it leads, but other than that, no, I don't need friends.
