I have gone through periods when I was friendless. I can consider myself as a "semi-loner" and there are times that I love time alone. But having a period being friendless can be a real drag.

I only have one friend going for me now. I feel very lucky to have him as a friend. There are lots of times when I find myself having to be a "people pleaser" for him. I feel that he does not understand me with my depression very well. He has some knowledge of what depression is; but he's had very little experience in dealing with others with depression. And he claims that he never had it himself. There are times when I do get fed up with his criticizing and talking to me like I'm a little boy. And also having to tote him around at times because he can't drive. But there are lots of times when I feel like I wouldn't know what to do without him in my life. There were times when we almost split up.

I don't have any real suggestions for you. Except that it would be nice if you could somehow make a friend who can be like you. At least that person can understand you well, and you could understand that person also. I've been to a depression support group a few times. I had not been able to make any friends there as I had hoped, but I did see others become friends. Maybe that could happen to you, too.
Remember (I know that this may be an annoying statement for me to say and I'm sure you've heard it before) that people are not perfect.
