You say you're constantly shunned, etc. Are you possibly a little "clingy" Do you hold on a little too much to friends & girlfriends -- perhaps for fear that they will leave you??? It's a common problem -- so you aren't "weird" or anything.  But if you DO hang on a little too much, you have to learn to let go, and give them space. Otherwise they WILL take off and stay away. 
And alot of us avoid our families -- many of us come from very dysfunctional families and they're toxic and unhealthy to be around! So we stay away as much as possible for our own good! That's why we're here!!! Cause we got so screwed up as children and brought it with us as adults! 
I think you DO know what friendship is -- you said that your best friend knows you better than anyone else. Obviously you SHARE yourself with this person, and this person must share themselves with YOU. That's what friendship is -- a sharing of each other; trusting each other and being there for each other. But there's no romance/sex/involved. It a common respect for each other.
I don't think you're as confused as you think you are. Like I said, just don't analyze things. LOL Hugs, Lee
