Well who doesn't.
The problem is how to get one. Is not like you go and ask someone "hey you wanna be my close friend?". Meeting and getting closer with someone is something that happens by chance, whether offline or online.
Then I'm this predicament. I want a close friend, but I'm feeling hopeless about my luck, not to mention how absurd it seems to me the idea of "looking" for one. But what to do then. For example, yesterday, I had a really crappy day (nothing really serious, just a series of small disappointments), but didn't had anyone to talk about it, and no, I can't count with my family on those things (that was part of the overall crappiness if the day). I don't see the classmates with whom I usually talk while studying as an option, we really share little interest besides our career, and I can't imagine them understanding my situation. And that understanding thing is something VERY important for me.
I want a friend whom besides sharing some interests so we have a base of something to talk about, is a extremely understanding person, with the empathy/intelligence to understand why I'm feeling how I'm feeling even if that person hasn't experienced the same situation than me; someone who won't be bothered by hearing me complaining constantly about the same subjects because recognizes that even slowly, I'm not just complaining but also trying to improve my situation. Of course, I'll be willing to do the same thing for that person. But this is beyond being a mutual shoulder to cry on, as any proper friendship should be.
Well, I really don't know what I'm going to do, or what I'm doing exactly writing this, anyways...
