They say, that if you have one real good friend in your life, then you are blessed. I certainly don't have the answer because I don't have a social life, but I do make good connections with my coworkers, other people in classes and in my neighbourhood, but they are what they are and not likely to continue past my absense. I beleive it has more to do with our stressful society than lack of heart from yourself and others. But definately keep focused on your goal and I'm certain you will find it one day. Desire is the first step.
