I actually feel exactly the same way and cling on to "hope," but it is very hard to make (and keep) friends. I also feel isolated and have some difficulties connecting with others. Plus, I've been hurt, back stabbed, and treated badly by "friends" in the past, although there's a few people in my life, but they are too busy doing their own thing. The more time that goes by, the more this problem concerns me, and I feel disconnected. Sometimes I try to talk myself into joining something where people have a common interest, but who am I kidding? I have too much anxiety and depression causes lack of motivation.

I wish I had some really good advice, but just want to let you know that you are not alone.
