    I don't think one really has friends, one makes friends, at least in the beginning. It doesn't matter where you live or what you do, if you aren't sharing experiences with people, it's unlikely you will make friends.
    You need to actively go out and join in activities you enjoy, like cycling, hiking, sailing, weaving or even bird watching, WHATEVER. Joining clubs or social organizations that has other people who enjoy the same activities as you do, should facilitate making friends considerably.
    Nobody is going to come knock on your door seeking your friendship; you must be proactive.

    Admitting defeat causes you to remain defeated.

    I'm in the same situation. I came to the U.S. 10 years ago. In the beginning, I met many people and went out a lot. I've never been a very social guy, but I'm able to interact with people without being weird. However, 4 years ago I broke up with my girlfriend and since then, I haven't been able to have new friends. I'm 31 as of 2015 and It's tough to go around by yourself. I completely understand your situation, and my only advice would be that you should start going out more often. My goal right now is to just get out of the house because I spend too much time at home watching TV shows, and wasting time. You're not alone in this situation.

    I haven't had much in the way of friends for a few years now. I usually don't mind it actually - freedom! Although it does get very lonely and depressing from time to time.

    I haven't had any friends in real life for nearly 4 years.

    You just need to be more dedicated to making friends. Get out more.

      And you don't take your own advice because?

        Well, it feels like too much effort for the most part. That and I'm content with my dog.
