Well, I don't have many friends in my life. Whenever I want to talk to them, I always feel that I'm the only one being active. That makes me don't want to chat with my friends any more. Besides, they always have funnier friends than me.

Then I tried to make some new friends on the internet, but things didn't go well. I found out that I don't really know how to react to one by one friendship. Maybe that's why my friend always have funnier friends then me. In case I'm too boring for them. I just don't know how to be their closed friend because my personal issue.

Maybe, I just want to be part of a group, not a person's friend. Or maybe I just can't trust anyone to be my friend and not getting annoyed by me. I don't even know if I'm annoying to my friends or not. They're acting so passive to me, just like I'm a mysterious creature who living in a cave, only need to interact with me when I'm not sleeping in it.

I don't like to be anyone's important friend, but I also need to have some friends that I can just sit beside them and join the conversation without being focused.

But if I do have this kind of friendship, I start to get our friendship into an oneside situation. Then I don't want to chat with them anymore...all the things just loop again.

...Did anyone might have some advice for me?

people are so focused on themselves they barely notice they're with other people at all. I know you feel all the conversations are one-sided, but I assure you that a really nice group is a rare thing. I went on for more than fifteen years before finding a group of people I'm comfortable with.
Have you ever tried roleplaying games, like D&D? The people I met in those occasions are among the kindest and most inclusive in the world. I know nothing about your tastes, but now there are so many RPGs you will surely find something suitable to you.

Sounds very useful... Maybe I should try more different groups. I'm kinda frustrated for making friends, but maybe it just hard to find a suitable group of friends.
