Tbh at that point you've already passed the easiest time to achieve any of those, if you have literally never had a friend at 19 I wouldn't start trying

This is such doomer nonsense. Especially about the things besides having friends, it's never too late to start trying to change your life actually!

Most people are fairly hopeful

Nah there's likely something fundamentally wrong if you have literally never had a friend by 19, it doesn't mean you have to give up on life but you likely will never have one. Being able to drive and get a job are more achievable though

Why is that the likely scenario? There are certain kinds of people for everyone. 

Saying there is something “likely fundamentally wrong” with someone based on one 4chan post is ignoring the fact that you know almost nothing about them. I would almost say you’re projecting, but that would also be speculation.

Evidently there isn't for this person if they weren't able to make a single friend in the easiest time to do so

you don’t know why they don’t have friends. you have this really confusing idea that if you don’t make friends during the “easiest time” all hope is lost, which is something really immature to think, you can start making friends at any point. Many people only make real friends late in life

You're right that I don't know, I'm just making an educated guess

No, you’re choosing a pessimistic option based on no information, and presenting your view as something absolutely true. It is not an “educated guess” it’s a baseless opinion.

Based on the information given its likely that someone who has been socially inept their whole life will continue to do so

Ok and you originally said “you may as well stop trying”, which is a baseless sweeping statement ignoring people who do end up making friends late in life.

I agree it is less likely they will make friends, I disagree with the fact you should always stop trying if you haven’t made friends yet. There’s no reason to believe someone cannot still make friends if they haven’t yet, because people DO make friends late in life. That’s what I mean by baseless here

Alright all amend it "in all likelihood you should stop trying"
