The internet and any type of long distance communication has allowed me to deepen friendships across oceans and continents.
What's to blame for lack of close friends more than anything is people lack of tolerance to bad or poor behavior. While one doesn't need to surround themselves with assholes forever, I believe we tend to dismiss friendships easily forgetting that long term friendships are difficult to cultivate.
Also, people do not like to reveal themselves to their friends, how does one deepen a friendship if all you ever talk about is the weather, and same old same old when asked how have you been after 2 years?
