11. Same here. I have never had a long term friend.

I meet people and push them away due to my own feelings of inadequacy. I think people see me as arrogant, when I am really insecure and introverted. This keeps them away. I have had acquaintances over the years, in the various cities in which I live. As soon as I move on, it is like they never existed. No there fault, mine. I always have trouble keeping in touch with people. It usually boils down to "Why would they want to keep in touch with me"? This leads to a very lonely existence.

I am trying. I just joined a Tae Kwon Do school and am starting to develop some relationships. I have to force myself to let others in.
