Yes it's hard for me to make friends, take it up a notch from acquaintance to someone I hang out with at least from time to time. Then I have trouble maintaining it for a longer period of time. I suspect that's partly cause I always expect people are bored of me so I never insist and partly because I'm a 30 yro who lacks the human experiences most people have by this age(never had a relationship or even been on a date, my anxiety about being rejected or insufficient at work keeps me from looking for jobs properly, only had 3-4 friends in my entire life) and that creates a subtle gap at this point even without the other knowing the situation I'm in, I just can't relate when it comes to some stuff and can't draw from the experiences people draw from at this point in their interactions with others. Loneliness tends to be a vicious circle, just like poverty for ex, because it kinda keeps you from acquiring certain skills and "instruments" that are helpful in bonding with people.
