I'll admit it.  I've never really had any friends. Not because I was a loser or a reject. 
I've always been different, weird and different and never really tried to make friends and if I did make one, I had no clue how to keep her... I was so insecure and thought that eventually, that person would walk away from me.
 
So I convinced myself I didn't need friends and shied away from anyone who'd show any interest. 
 
I was better off on my own... Meanwhile my sister had so many friends, friends she still has.
 
I watch "Sex and the City" and secretly I wish I could have that, girlfriends who'd call me up for breakfast, that I could show up at 2am at her door, crying and she'd let me in and listen and then we'd laugh and my faith in the world would be restored.
 
I wasn't exactly miserable on my own, and now, my only true best friend is my boyfriend whom I call Poops.  He's my sidekick, my buddy, my roommate and my hero.
 
But I'd like a girl who'd be my friend.  I've never had that.  Partly because I never trusted girls, girls can be the worst bullies.
 
I'm not bisexual like so many young girls, I just would like a friend who'd just hang and then one day, we'd look back and we'd reminisce about all those times, and everything she'd been through... I'd been through...
 
I've never had anyone to share memories.  I believe in myself, I'm funny, whatever---I could be a friend, but I'm scared.  Scared of losing yet another friend. 
 
I'm ready to take a chance, to find myself a Charlotte, or a Carrie, a Samantha or a Miranda.  I really would want that. 
 
To grow old with someone who'd just tag along and make me laugh.  Whatever, I guess that poem I came across (let me copy and paste) on this site really got to me.
 
WHAT IS A FRIEND?

What is a friend? I will tell you. It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself. Your soul can be naked with him. He seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are. He does not want you to be better or worse. When you are with him, you feel declared innocent. You do not have to be on your guard. You can say what you think, so long as it is genuinely you. He understands those contradictions in your nature that lead others to misjudge you. With him you breathe freely. You can avow your little vanities and envies, hates and vicious sparks, your meannesses and absurdities and, in opening them up to him, they are lost, dissolved on the white sands of his loyalty.

He understands. You do not have to be careful. You can abuse him, neglect him, tolerate him. Best of all, you can keep still with him. It makes no matter. He likes you. He is like fire that purge to the bone. He understands. You can weep with him, sin with him, laugh with him. Through it all and underneath, he sees, knows and loves you.

A friend... What is a friend? Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself

    Writer - I completely understand. I never was really close to girls either and you are so right about not being able to trust girls. They can be very mean but they can also be wonderful. I always thought that I was better off without friends until I moved away from everything and everybody I have ever known. I have made friends and it is hard to put trust in a friend that is a girl but, trust me, it is worth it. I am learning how to be a better friend everyday and all it takes is a little work and you will see a huge return. Hang in there!

    you and i have that 'growing up with no close friends' thing in common. i'm well past 40, and still i have no one calling me, no friends to go bowling with, etc. i've finally unlocked the secret of getting people to like me, but not of having the kind of relationship you're talking about. not with people irl anyway. i have some very good friends here that i can talk to, and i'm greatful for each and every one of them. i would like to have a few that i can sit and drink a beer with also. oh well, my journey's not over yet, maybe i'll develope that next? and hey, if i can do it, anyone can do it, and that includes you! :-)

    I always have the problem of making friends really quickly and easily, but they never stick around. We'll be really close for awhile, but then they always seem to have other things going and the next thing I realize, it's been months since I heard from them.

    One of my best friends got married last summer and since that time, I barely see him at all. So it kind of sucks. I have lots of acquaintances and casual friends, but no one really close. I'd like to have that too.

    Today, it seems even harder to make true friends.  I hope you find one that is special.

...wanting release after a breakup that I'm sort of regreting........
I dont think knowing someone for a really long time should be any kind of deciding factor of weather you like them or not or are going to be friends with them.
I think Phil grandfathered in most of his friends, not because they were nice, or good ...
So, Antonio's only been away for a little over a week, and I miss him. I think I've been sending him texts pretty much every day, although he hasn't been replying me quite as frequently. Since my chat with Jason last night,...
