Is it normal to not know how to make good friends?

I do not have a lot of friends and the ones I do for the most I dont trust. A lot of people I meet end up being two faced or complete assholes. How do you find good people to be friends with? The ones I get a long well with I never really can see anymore.

    Well in all honesty, and this is speaking from experience, try to find one good friend and make friends through him/her. This may sound offensive or rude, but try to befriend someone who looks lonely. I had no friends when I was in journalism and neither did this girl, we started talking, since we had nobody else, and now we're pretty good friends. But keep this in mind, you have to want to be friends with them and be willing to put in the effort to keep the friendship alive; that means initiating times where you guys can hang out.

    You're just gonna have to reach outside your circle a lot more.

    I think it is normal to feel this way. For me, I learned early on that being myself is hard and nearly futile to bother with most people in a public setting. There are too many things that I don't do or like that other people are into and things that I do like that others like too but never seem to do so in public. Therefore, I'm way more likely to meet good friends in places that have people who share my interests from the start. I play video games so I've met several good friends from MMOs and if I ever participate in a game tournament, its bound to happen there. If I ever go to an anime convention, it'll probably happen there too. Some sort of orchestra setting? There also. Note that I HAVE met two faced and other back stabbing people this way but turned out with just a handful of friends that I couldn't have otherwise.
