My experience with people has generally been hit & miss. If it's a hit, consider a small step of progression, if not, let it be. Never press something that isn't there.
People by some unknown chemistry, be it pheromones or some charismatic factor, are naturally drawn to each other.
As always, it's important not to obsess, especially over trivial matters, as can happen alot when it comes to things that you put alot of energy into it like building relationships. Not everyone wants to talk all the time, not everyone wants to hang out everyday.
One should refrain from living vicariously when it comes to friends. By this I mean learn to master your own life, don't depend your day to day activities on a single person (unless of course this person is a significant other/romantic interest, though this varies from person to person). Though it is easy to attach oneself to what we deem to be "stronger people", that's just a sort of attraction, it shouldn't be something one depends on for daily fulfillment.
I'm sensing a degree of self loathing, which is a very natural disposition if nothing's going right & I have no outlet for the things I've built up inside.
everyone needs a release of these negative emotions, but it's different for everybody as to how they choose to release it be it blogging, doing some form of art, sports, etc.
I should really mention the axiom that's really helped me in establishing my socialability, and that's "one must love oneself, before one can love others".
So do some soul searching, finding that thing in life you love & become it, "don't dream it, be it".
I completely recommend to anyone whose down on hard times not being able to find any work since it is a very competitive market, to go back to school/college. Granted you may have some school put in already, maybe even a degree or a professional certification, but that's no reason not to pursue further education.
Schools, like the Universities of Athens, are those places where great minds come together, where you can meet like minded individuals, & others who can help you grow as a person.
As the saying goes, if you build it, they will come..
So by all means, invest in yourself
PS: oh I thought that VD too upon first glance for some reason.. the one that they warned about in those 1940-1970's educational videos

When I want your opinion, I will diffuse it from you through osmosis!
