I also find that the people that I considered "friends" are not my cup of tea. So over the past 2 years I have pulled myself out of society and spend my time alone at home.
Anyone else have this problem?

I think to be who we are, we first have to be recognised for who we are, if growing up who we are wasn't "tolerated" then some learn to conform to get the attention they badly need. Part of who we are "died" and has to be reclaimed. As you have found out, we cannot find ourselfs in other people. spending time alone is proberbly a very good start!
