OP, I can kinda see where you're going with this. I miss my friends from my hometown when I was a teenager, and my siblings and cousins. I moved away but they all stayed, and now I feel left out of the group. However, when I go home, we can talk like no time has passed.
I'm haven't made any lasting friendships since. Had a few roommates here and there that sorta became the default "going out buddies", but never kept in touch with any of them. The only thing we had in common was a shared address and love of booze anyway.
Every once in a while I have a little pity party for myself because I have no close friends, but then I remember that I almost always (like 99%) prefer to be either alone or with my SO. I get quite a lot of human interaction at work, and am thankful for the break in the evenings and on the weekends.
I am thinking of signing up for an art class at a local gallery to meet some people with similar interests that I can chat with. Making a new friend that I have something in common with might be nice.
