Just be true to yourself and don't try to be something you are not. Some people are just not the type to have friends.
Really, at this point, outside of my wife and family, I don't have any contacts in the area I've been (mostly) living at for the last 5 years. I mean, it would be nice to have people to turn to when I need them. I'm pretty fiercly independent, and I don't know why. I don't ever ask for help unless it's the only way I can complete my given task. And for the most part, rarely need assistance.
But yes, I'd at least like to make one dependable friend. As I mentioned, I do a lot of writing, and I'm currently working on the first installment of a story I've been picking at for the last 3 years. Working on something like this alone is fun and a great way for me to fill my free time (which I wish I had more of), but I feel I'd be a lot farther along if I had someone to bounce ideas off of. It involves a lot of elements from Lovecraft's 'Cthulhu Mythos', and begins just before the onset of WWII, so there will be a lot of Nazi conspiracy theories put to use, but as it progresses, it will involve more mythology and parapsychology, up until it unfolds into a post-apocalyptic setting in the near future, approximately 30 years from now. I've reworked it and reworked and every time I do I feel more satisfied with what I have, but doing this alone allows me the opportunity to second-guess myself, instead of either being encouraged to use what I have, or offered better alternatives to put in their place.
I guess that's more what I'm looking for than a friend, although I would consider them that as well.
