Sometimes people have a longing, or a need, to be surrounded by people who love them. A longing for a long-term, deep relationship. This could be the case, that you're not feeling that you're getting enough quality relationships.
Humans are naturally social people. So that feeling of wanting to connect is normal. I feel it too and to be honest, I don't have close friends near me. I mostly make friends now online. And sometimes it's easy but most of the time I feel alone. Those dramas usually help us connect with people, I hope it's positive drama, not the negative ones. If they're mostly negative then I suggest you try to find people with nicer personality.
Because all the good times out way the bad times. Even though it seems like every time you make friends with someone else it just causes more heartbreak, there are still a lot of good things to be thankful for.

Because, my dear, deep down we yearn to have friends. Because friends are the people we laugh with, spend time with, spend happy and sad moments with, talk with and support and get support from them. We yearn for real friends. Even if we try to stay away, we know that we do and it is undeniable.
Friends are important, I think even more important than relationships. Friends are there to always have your back, and to make friends you'll have to get to know each other. And that can create drama. We all want people to have our backs and to comfort us. It's worth the drama.
Friends are the important part of a life. They always come to interact with you in somewhere in your lifeway. But we should know every friends we make are not always good one. Some are bad and some are good. We make some friends on one day and they remain last. And some are we know since our birth and they never last as good one.
So, make friends to those people who value you and understand you. In return you do the same to them. And do not hurry to make everyone around your friends. All of them won't be with you forever.
If you're like how I used to be, it's because you're feeling lonely and longing for a true friend whom you can trust. All of us deserve to have someone like that in our life. Thus, you're casting your net wide in hope of finding a true friend, withstanding the drama and negative people in the mean time. It is a necessary process, but it can get overwhelming. What you can do is to try and have a better relationship with yourself. When you love yourself, solitude is less burdensome, and you're also less tolerant of people who are causing drama in your life. If you love yourself, you may also attract like-minded people to you.
Be patient and kind with yourself, and ask for help in this, too.
Because being alone and having no one to talk to is worse. That’s why we’ve resorted to this site with complete strangers to talk to. A friend is a listener and a companion like this site but also requires more commitment and confrontation and that’s what scares us... but a good friend is rare and well worth the find.

When I was younger, I always had the need to make more friends. I was put into an International School in a foreign country, I looked a lot different than others, I didnt even speak English by then. Because of this, for a while I got involved with the trouble makers of the class, got into trouble with teachers- just because I didnt want to be left behind. In the higher classes, I got to meet a few special people that now I can confidently call my best friends. And the contrast is appaling. I wanted more friends in my primary school days so I looked like I was one of the popular kids, so I was involved in everything "fresh" and wanted people to think I was cool.
But later on, I got tight circle of friends, my good intentions and kind thought made me popular and I became a good listener friend. I hope this answer helped?
