For me this has been happening more and more lately. I've ended so many friendships lately just to protect myself from anything that can hurt me, but now im alone. I pretty much have no more friends now. I just wish that I can find friends that i can count on to be there for me.
I have almost no friends at this point in my life either. It's extremely lonely. I feel for you. My solution will be to move soon and find a place where there are more people. It's the only way I can cope is to have that to look forward to. Perhaps you can create a vision of a future you'd like to have and start taking steps to make it happen. I'd like to someday live in San Francisco, for instance, so this summer, if I can find a really cheap flight I am going there and going to bang on some doors of places that might employ me. I can't move anywhere without knowing I have somewhat secure employment. I did this last summer and it worked. I now have a gig connected with that city. On days I'm depressed, nothing lifts my spirits, but being with a good friend, so I hope you make some friends soon. Are you young? Do you live around a lot of people? You'll meet people soon enough and look back at this phase and try to forget it!
