Dude... get involved in some local community stuff or a local sports team that you are interested in and you'll find some mates easy... if that fails go to uni... im a mature student at 26 and its given me a new lease of life... if that fails travel and you will never be alone then... always other backpackers around... great fun

hmmm...... I think I know where you are coming from here!
As I've grown up, I seem to have way less friends than I've ever had..... simply because I've moved away, they've moved away, circumstances have changed, eg - children etc.
Don't get me wrong I know a lot of people..... but I only see them when I'm out and about so they are not really friends, they're just drink associates or someone I say hello to.
My parents always said to me (a bit strange really but true enough) 'the amount of true friends you have in your life time you can count on one hand'. Meaning friends come and go... but there is the select few that stay around!!
The only advise I can give is either show more interest in the people you know or don't seem so desperate for a true friend.
Good luck!!

People will come and go in your life but you'll find friends even in the strangest places. As Dave C said, joining a club or something locally that you're interested in is a really good way of making friends as you'll have that common interest, there's not an age limit on when you can and can't make friends, it can happen at any time of your life.

Flipping heck! You're 24 years old and you are moping about like a spoilt teenager!
Pull yourself together man!
Are you suggesting that in the next eighty years of life you will never make another friend?
If you switch off that computer and go out to mix with normal people you will surely make hundreds of friends, a handful of whom will be close friends who will last you a lifetime!

Understand that people come in our lives, and they leave our lives. That's just what happens. No one is tied down to any one else, unless they want to be. No one is forcing you to stay with them, and likewise, you can't do the same to anyone else. People lose touch with each other. It does not mean that they are upset, or don't like you any more, it just happens. And, there is no race or time limit to find your best friend in the whole wide world. There is no reason to have only one good bestest friend. Be friends with whomever you choose, share what you want with whomever you want. But there are no guarantees that anyone will always "be there" for anyone else. Just give yourself time, and don't put unreasonable limits on yourself. Be free and decide who is really your friend, see who will really sand by you and be there for you.

I know how it feels to be on the outside looking in - thinking that you'll never be able to get really close to someone and feel valued as a true friend.
I find it tough when meeting new people but i just try being friendly to people and, in time, they will come to appreciate you for who you are. ; o)

I don't think it is ever too late, just get out there and start meeting people. You'll meet people through work, college, gym etc etc. Just don't try to hard, just be yourself and they will come to you. Most of my true friends I have made after the age of 24.
Good luck

there are lot's of ways by which you could gain friends. I was anti-social. Until i joined the church org. and made new friends. well the church is not the only way. you should go to places where you can join like the gym, a club, sports, choir, workshops, camps and seminars, etc.there you could find new people and maybe meet your true friend.
