Umm... does anyone on here have any real life friends (outside of work)? 
The last time I had friends was at university.
From my experience, the types of people I like to be friends (thoughtful self-conscious interesting types or on the other end of the spectrum, interesting funny types) with are either hermits, hard to meet, rare, or live scattered hundreds of miles apart.
When I meet people I like, it's like fireworks, I'm so happy. I've tried making friends with non like minded types but have come to the unfortunate realisation that they just make me feel more lonely. And that covers 90% of people.
Even after I get to know non-like minded types well & give them a chance, it feels almost more lonely than being in my own company alone 24/7. (Which I now am)

I once stayed at an Air B n B place and the host was so much on my wavelength I wanted to say "hey lets be friends" hahaha but I'd have sounded too desperate. She actually wanted me to move in she liked me so much! But we live so far away from each other. That kinda person is the type you meet once in a blue moon (e.g. once in 5 years). You know the type who gets your quirkiness & whom you can tell anything & know they won't judge but will laugh with u & who understands life is too short for ego.
