Most times, friends who hug you when you're blue, listen to your fears, miss you when you're gone, don't start out that way. They begin as acquaintances, and that's when you make it fun to be around you by NOT being depressed, clingy and needy.

Most people shy away from those who behave like they're going to need buoyed up every day. It's a drain. But most friends (emphasis on friend, not acquaintance) will listen when you need to vent, unless it's all day every day and unless when THEY try to share, you turn the focus back on yourself.

A friendship isn't only about what you need - it's also about what THEY need.

Finding a true friend is like a pearl in an oyster.
They are hard to find and when you do you need to cherish them.
Can I make the following suggestions.
Try making friends with an older person. They are happier to let you talk and listen and are interested in you.
Try joining a community group. Do something good with good people and only good can result.
Write down what makes you feel positive and happy each day.
Focus on these and try to tough them everyday.

We all go through this in our lives. Very few can always be popular all the time.
The most important thing is to have a positive outlook. Glass half full.
Good luck and don't be hard on yourself.

That's what I used to be like, then I became closed over time and now i kinda push people off when it's probably what I need.
Then you get a sense of isolation with people because a big part of you is under the surface and people never get let in because you feel you'll be let down or get the same old reaction.

Think we all miss having a best friend or partner. But sometimes the sense of loneliness is in ourselves. *hugs*
