How difficult has it been for you to make and keep friendships as an adult?

It is clear to me that I do not know how to do this.

I feel like people aren't good friends.

I've had an acquaintance since March. I've only hung out with her twice, ever.
She is terrible at texting back (which she did admit to first time we met), but if you want to make friends, you need to reply to them.

It will literally take her 2 weeks to reply to a message. She won't even respond to what I actually said, but more like a "hey how have you been?" Then when I respond how I've actually been, no message for another 2 weeks. But she's good at inviting me to her get togethers; which I've never gone to, because I don't know her well.

I feel maybe she's just looking for another body to be at her parties or something. Can't possibly be looking for a friend.

man i have lost many friends as a adult. Fact is as you get older, your patience runs very thin on the company you keep and cant tolerate as much bullshit. If i cant trust someone, they are out of my life now.
Most people i considered were friends were two faced backstabbing morons. The company i keep now is small but I trust everyone one of them and consider it real friendship.
