>>1272974If it makes you feel any better, I'm in a similar situation. I tend to communicate poorly with others and that results in dysfunctional relationships and burnt bridges. On top of that, I've moved around a lot since graduating high school, so I rarely get the opportunity to keep a friendship for more than a few years.
I (not so) recently moved to a new city to go to college, and I haven't made a single friend there in a year and a half. Though, I'd say part of this is because I lived off campus during that whole time.
I'm now a few years older than many people at my college, and it's very difficult to connect with them when American culture has become more and more disjunctive as technology and social media have become more and more popularized and necessary to making and maintaining social connections. The irony is that I'm studying computer science, but I have a heavy degree of skepticism towards these technologies. People tend to display an idealized version of themselves on it, and I don't have the sort of dedication necessary to maintaining my "digital lawn." It feels as though there's a different spirit of the times for them, and on top of this, they tend to be much more optimistic and confident about their futures. In ways, I envy and dislike them for that.
I hope you can find some people that are easy to relate to who you enjoy being around. I think for both of us, it may be a matter of attitude. Sorry for my autistically long post.
