That and maybe this is an excuse too, but I don't make friends easily because I don't really like them.
You don't have to like people to become friends with them. Just like a woman doesn't have to like you to want you sexually.
For me, it's becoming painfully obvious that I don't like people, but to let that stop me from conversing with them or hanging out with them or sleeping with them is too high a price to pay.
No one will ever meet your expectations fully, but it doesn't mean you can't have meaningful relationships.
Heck, my best friend and I are honestly completely opposites when it comes to everything from body type to tastes in video games, movies, women, ideal job, you name it. But it's the journey we are both on that connects us stronger than anything superficial could.
So I guess I'm saying that perhaps your going about it the wrong way. Connect with people, not the ego stuff. Hope I made sense.

I don't know. My brain is a mess and I'm trying to figure it out.
Forever is a long time my friend. You may well meet someone who you click with entirely, but what if your paths diverge eventually? Do you stay together even when your no longer connected?
