i say you can have many aquaintances but only a handful of true friends.
my best friend and i have known each other since infant school, see each other most days socialise and we always go on holiday together. we know each other inside out and i consider myself extremely lucky.
i am so sad you have had these experiences so far, but you will find true friends, compromise and understanding are important issues in friendship. me and my 'sister' friend are like chalk and cheese too! english term for completely different and dont share the same taste in anything lol. please be patient. maybe join a sport club or something you enjoy doing, go on friends reunited and see if you can rebuild relationships from the past from school.
we're here for you to talk to, love jinny xoxoxoxox
