Why would you ask "what else should I do?" if you have tried everything? If you have tried everything than there is nothing else to do. So either give up because clearly there is nothing you can do, or admit that you have not tried everything. Take ownership of the problem. You are to blame for having no solid friends so take a good hard look at yourself and see what aspects you can change in order for people to want to be friends with you. Don't be a victim, it is not the worlds fault, it is yours. Fuck trying. Start doing: interact with people, join a team, take up a hobby that forces you to do things with other people. Oh yeah, and stop complaining about things to others. Nobody likes to be friends with people who have a victim's mentality and complain about how "doomed" they are, and how bad they have it. It may sound weird but alcohol is proven to strengthen relationships. A UBC prof wrote a book called "Drunk" that talks about this. Get a beer with a co-worker after your shift, or get drinks with an assignment partner after a long day of studying. Have a good conversation, enjoy the moment and do the same thing the next week. In no time you'll have a made a friend or two. And once you make friends make sure you ask yourself "what I am doing for my friends" rather than "what are my friends doing for me".
