It is hard to find friends who last a lifetime. Someone who you have a real connection with. College did not provide that and now out in the work field, it seems the same thing is happening again. All one can do is to be open to new friends. Develop interests and hobbies that one can share with like minds. Personally, I like Zen and Buddhism. If I wanted then I would go to meetings and meet like minded people. I like being by myself so I don’t go out. But, I have a wife so I don’t miss having someone to talk with. The internet is my friend and entertainment. But, that is me. My advice is to go to places where you will meet people who have the same interests as you.
