All I can say is "welcome to the internet" .-.
So true.
Also, you can't say something on the lines of "I'm such a nice person!". That is for other people to decide, not yourself, because you may not be. So anyway, friends are not that difficult to find, especially if you look in the right places (obviously, the best places to search are the ones that you like to be in).
I do believe that having friends is pretty overrated, though.
