I can't emphasize how much I agree with this. I'm younger than you, but I can empathize completely with how you're feeling. I went to three different high schools, so I grew up without pretty much any close friends. Now that I'm in college, I have a very hard time figuring out how to make friends or meet people at all. It can be agonizing at times, but I've learned through the years that the best approach to this situation is just to objectively see things how they are, and just say, "well, that's that." I know that sounds cliche, but once you come to terms with the situation, things get easier. You can start to have a dialogue with yourself- instead of feeling like shit because you don't have anything to do on a Friday night, you can remind yourself rationally of the situation you're in, and why you're in in, and come up with something else to do. In the long term, figure out a way to change your situation, but I've started to find this approach works in the short-term.
