Well…I can sum it up as “a long and depressing conversation about me having to be just like everyone else 'cause I don’t have a lot of friends”. There’s a lot more details, but that’s the gist of it…
And why would you want alot of friends? I only have about 2 friends IRL that I trust and I’m fine with it. You shouldn’t change yourself just to be “in” with more people. It just shows that they don’t really give two shits about you unless you worship them and be just like them. Real friendship isn’t something to be taken so lightly.
I have no friends in real life…

I agree, I’ve never understood why people have this issue making friends. People whine and complain about having 3 or 4 friends, and I don’t see what the problem is - just go make some. It really isn’t that hard.
Listening to some music is okay, but too much escapism can be a problem. It’s really best to talk to someone you truely trust (to be less offensive, let off some steam first, like punching your pillow or something).

Yes, it can, especially if one lacks proper social skills or, as in my case, one has social phobia.
The only advice I can give is to relate my own experiences. The oddest things are the ones that pull me out a deep blue funk. Sometimes it’s becoming engrossed in a REALLY good book, sometimes it is playing a game and suddenly enjoying it a great deal, and I even remember being jolted out a bout of the blues by the uproarous “Best of Who’s Line is it Anyway” that ABC ran a couple years back. God, I laughed so much it hurt.
Anyway, that’s most help I can be.
And the thing about conforming to get friends is crap. It is useful to appear to conform to get things like jobs at times, I suppose, but still…
i was at this party today for my cousin’s graduation… and it was really boring and i was talking to my cousins, and then i went with them to talk while they smoked, and i smoked two cigarettes, and while i enjoyed them, i felt like shit afterwards, and i felt so goddam lonesome and depressed etc. then i went with my cousin to this friends house of his, and her parents were so fucking cool…
I have a couple close friends…hell, I have a couple internet friends who I trust just as much as my closest RL friends.
And BTW, if you want pick-me-up music, try Offspring’s “All I Want”, Ozzy Osbourne’s “Hellraiser”, or “always Look on the Bright Side of Life”, from Monty Python’s Life of Brian.
