I can relate to this all too well. I have one friend who I share everything with. She just got married for the second time...a blended family. I've already noticed a lack of response when I share with her. I don't have a close family and no social life. Mostly my fault. I want to be social I really do. But I just don't make friends that easily. I don't have FB because I found myself wasting time, getting jealous/angry at all my "friends" living these great, fantastic lives. A couple months ago I thought a coworker and I were becoming friends and she said "FB me." I didn't. I'd rather go out and have coffee or see a movie. Old school face to face interaction. Now we don't talk.
I've tried the meetup groups locally but it is hard walking into a group of strangers. I did it and can say I did it but nothing lasting came out of it.
It sucks. I need to change. It's becoming a bit frightening to me that I have isolated myself so much.
