Honestly, I think most people only have a very few people in the world they consider really close (the kind you might not speak to for months, or even years, but they'll always be there, and it's like no time has passed). Then there's the second circle of hangout friends. These are usually the people you meet through school or work or random social groups and probably spend the most time with. Maybe you hang out in groups, but you don't delve deep into each other's lives; you just go out and have drinks, see movies, whatever. Sometimes you might not even really like them all that much, but the socialization keeps you from turning feral...

It's really hard finding those super close connections, and honestly, you never know where they'll come from. But they do take time to develop, and, as someone else mentioned, they require effort on both of your parts to get to know each other. It may turn out that one of those casual friends may become something deeper over time when you get into some random conversation and things just click. But as hard as it is, you do have to put yourself out there to meet more people. There must be groups around you that meet over a hobby you have...or even silly things, like a casual kickball league or boardgame group or something. It'll take some time, but relationships will form, and at least you've got two people you already consider very close, which is great. You're not alone.

And there's always the internet, when you really need to interact. Of course, it's a mixture of awesomeness and utter hell, but when I've really felt alone, I've managed to strike up some cool conversations. We're all out here, and whatever random things you love and believe in, there's definitely a ton of other people who think the same thing. Hugs from a stranger.xx
