My therapist told me to stop trying so hard to make friends. I still don't have many (except for my precious babblers) but it doesn't bother me as much.
I've moved a lot, I have had many jobs, I live far from family, and I've been divorced. At every turn it has felt like I have shed friends more easily than strands of hair.
If you can decide to become your own best friend, then the extra ones outside of ourselves become a bonus. People come into and out of our lives all the time - actively pursuing friends helped make me depressed.Scratchpad
