i don't really have any friends

i hang out with people but i don't feel like they're proper friends - there isn't anyone i know that i regularly make plans to do stuff every week or just talk on the phone with. it's always the occasional party, get together or movies but i don't really have a close bond with these people.

for the better part of my life i've always felt an existential lonliness even when i'm engaged in social activities around other people because i've never felt that there was someone i could truly be honest about things like my problems, and not trivial ones. for one year i was close friends with someone but we've moved apart. there probably isn't any solution to this, after all, man is a lonely creature, and i've pretty much accepted this.. but it would be nice if there were people who know what im talkin about!

Chances are, if you get out of the house and do something else that you like to do, someone will take some sort of intrest in it and ask you about it.  Viola!!  A conversation is born. 

Keep doing that (hobby) + keep meeting the same people = friends with similar intrests. 

So, if you like videogames, and I know you do, go out to an arcade.  You'll see people, hopefully get a conversation started and have something like a friendship start to grow.  But you have to keep at it.  Making friends isn't easy.  Believe me, I know.  But once you have them, you'll look back and it will all seem so effortless.  And it gets easier the more you do it.  So good luck grasshopper.
