How do I cope for the rest of my life without friends?
No friends

I have convinced myself that I am better off without friends. More time to myself, no worries about getting used or manipulated. No seeking for approval.
Life is way more comfy and simple without friends.
I see the other side of it too of course. It gets lonely sometimes.
How is your life? In what way would friends be helpful?

Super introvert here.
You need friends. You need people who you can trust.
Justin Harris
This, you really do
It’s impossible to go it alone in life.
You need people who can support you when you need it and also just to run your thoughts by to get assurance that you’re making good decisions and that you’re getting things straight.
Honestly being by yourself opens you up to more chances of being manipulated and abused.

Workaholic or alcoholic perhaps. Seems like it happens a lot to single guys in their 20s once their friends get into relationships you become the "once a month drinking pal".
How do you cope?
Get a therapist and pretend they're your friend maybe? Online games? IRL: go out and practice talking to random people and see how they respond. We are social creatures.

How does one make friends outside of high school? Do I go to clubs for my hobbies and the like?
Carson Barnes
Hobbies will usually work. If you can bond over something with someone u can make a friendship.
You can always try hitting up old friends too. Old, solid friendships can be easy to reconnect.
Carter Harris
Been an outcast ever since Kindergarden and around HS I completely lost the need for other people.
Jason Lee
It wouldn't really but as you said I sometimes get lonely which I instantly regret feeling whenever i speak to other people
Why?
Don't you on the rare occasion get bored?
Levi Watson
Internet is all I need and I have lots of fun by myself.
