I'm a teenager who's had no friends for 2 years now. I can count past friendships on my hands, and at most I've had about two at once. These friendships were due to circumstance such as neither of us having anybody else to pair up with.
The popular solution is to "join clubs" but my hobbies are solitary pursuits and I wouldn't know how to get involved anyway. When people are in their own groups, I find it very off-putting. There's also the fact that I'm very picky when it comes to liking people who are my age. I don't seem to have anything in common with them.

    Well, you could start by trying some new hobbies. That will increase your chances of meeting people with similar interests.

        I would try the site meetup.com and look for people who have similar interests. Other than that you could go to a show and meet some people there.

          Agreed, try <a href="http://meetup.com" rel="nofollow">meetup.com</a>. I too have problems making friends and I love only one thing- exercise. I was able to meet some pretty dope people that love doing what I do. What could be better? You might have to sift through groups since not all are great. Best of luck!

    "There's also the fact that I'm very picky when it comes to liking people who are my age."

    If I understand this correctly, it doesn't sound like you're very interested in making friends.

      Not true. Sometimes you can find yourself surrounded by people that just don't suit you at all.
