My T has mentioned before that this is something we could work on in therapy--my having friends. I have had too much else to work on in therapy, though, as well as higher priorities out in the real world, although I do have a number of acquaintainces now. But when and if I am ready to change this about my life, I know my T will help me with it. I think he will have some good ideas. Polarsmom, I think it is a very worthy goal to want others in our life to whom we are close, can trust, and can share with. Have you ever talked to your T about this?
