Why are there always so few people looking for friends

I'd prefer to play by myself. Also I find it so hard to talk to strangers like theres nothing to talk about or do.

Usually people enjoy playing with themselves.

Also, there are occasionally people who would attempt to steal/destroy towns, which of course, makes people reluctant.

Finally, because of the "void" people would occasionally not want any villagers, as sometimes it can mess up a layout. So many wait to play with others once their town is complete.
