Want more friends but don't like people

[Blahblahblaaah]

Does anyone else ever feel like this, or am I completely odd?

I have friends, I like them, love some of them. Due to kids, working patterns etc I probably only see a friend once a week, which is fine.
I sometimes think I'd like some more friends, but I never meet anyone I want to be friends with, and even when I do I can't see when I'd fit them in unless they want to do exactly what I want to do in the exact time frame I'm after.

I know IABU so theres no need to point that out, but does anyone else ever feel like this?
Is it just a hankering to fill rare bits of free time with friendships, but my free time rarely marrying up with friends free time? Or am I just strange beyond words?

My sister is just like this with men. Which I why I think she is single at 50. You do have to compromise occasionally!

Now I am older, think 60+, I find I don’t really want to pursue friendships. I “get” most people but they don’t “get” me is my view. The effort tends to be mine and I can’t be bothered anymore.

My experience is that many women are also surprisingly bossy, negative or selfish - take your pick! And a lot of people aren’t all that interesting (after about 10 minutes). Like a PP says, if you get ill you can find it even more difficult to maintain friendships. Short periods of superficial socialising is fine sometimes as a few people have an interesting or nice energy.

TRUE friendships are very rare I suspect.

I'm a bit like this. I have friends and I think they're lovely but I crave time alone, to go nowhere and speak to no one.

I'm like this too! I'd like more friends but there are few people with similar interests to me or maybe we share one interest but disagree on other things. EG there is one woman I mostly like but she's very anti formula feeding (I could not BF) and very TWAW (I'm GC). She doesn't know this about me and it stops me from getting to know her better.

Completely relate! I realised that I don't have many friends anymore and certainly don't spend much time with them. The problem is, I find it so difficult to spend time with people because they are usually so full of shit. I find so many people feel the need to brag or exaggerate their accomplishments with some outright lying and I can't stand it. Maybe the problem is me but I always seem to get the ick.
