Is it normal to not want to make friends?

Mostly.Normal for most people

Yes, it’s normal not to feel interested in making friends. Some people are happiest with lots of solo time or a very small circle, as long as the arrangement feels right to them.

Not everyone gets much out of expanding their social circle. You might enjoy your own company, feel content with the friends you already have, or simply not have the energy for new connections right now. There’s no friendship quota you’re supposed to meet.

The useful question is whether you’re choosing solitude because it suits you, or avoiding people even though you feel lonely and wish things were different. If it feels like your preference, that’s fine; if it’s making you unhappy, you could start small with low-pressure contact rather than forcing yourself into a whole new social life.
