Why do you feel you need friends? Don't fall into the "humans are social animals" trap either, socializing and friends are not the same thing. Friends are people that haven't stabbed or betrayed you in the back yet.
You've fallen for it. What kind of socializing did your grandparents or great grandparents do and compare that to what people consider socializing today.
Humans aren't social animals as portrayed. Today's version of socializing is a way to push collectivism.

Yeah, my grandparents and great grandparents socialized far more, with more people, and had way more true friends and closer relationships than the average person does today.
Thinking back on most of my friendships they were mostly one sided. I was calling them to hang out, they called me when they needed something from me (a ride or some sort). Kinda burned me out on friends, seems like everyone wants to use you up for their benefit.

I, personally, can't stand 99% of people.
