First of all, I'm kinda starting to think that, general, no one really listens to anyone else. Most people have no internal life like you do (and like I do too). Most people don't think about their thoughts or their feelings. They are just more like animals: they just exist. So, these people (who I think make up the majority) are never going to be in any sort of meaningful conversation with you. Never.

Second, although you want to talk about your inner thoughts and inner feelings, really, no one cares about, and no one ever will, for the most part. And, in sense, that is not something that you should condemn others for. Nor, I am NOT saying that it is normal and right for no one to like you and care about you and spend time with you. No, that is not alright. And you can and must do things to remedy that situation. But I am saying that someone with a deep and active and troubled inner world cannot expect others to take a great interest in that inner world. It just isn't want friends or lovers talk about. Who then do you talk to about your deep and active and troubled inner world? I can really think of only a few outlets: a counselor; a support group; and online forums like PsychCentral.

Third, I think for people like you (and me), I think the secret to making friends is to have intense interests that plenty of other people in your area also have an interest in. Then when you are with them you talk mostly about this common interest. The common interest could be anything healthy, such as: science fiction; making jelly; riding horses; riding motorcycles; Republican Party activism; Democrat Party activism; running marathons; birdwatching; winemaking; gardening; the Civil War; painting; writing. It could be anything. It just needs to be a thing you are really into and love to do every day and a thing that some other people in your area are also into.

That's all I have for now. What do you think of those ideas?
