I'm not going to sugar coat this but I need to expand my social circle. I need more friends.
I have a small, real small, group of friends that I keep in touch with on a regular basis and well, that's it.
I moved away from my hometown about 10 years ago in hopes of starting over, making new friends, rebuilding... ya know-- the whole works and I'm back where I was before the move; feeling very lonely.
My best friend Amanda is going through some pretty serious life changing experiences right now and I'm doing my best to help, but I don't have a magic wand and my thoughts, ideas, and verbalization's are... 99% of the time what she probably does NOT want to hear. So I have to step back and let it be I guess.
Another friend of mine, Ed, has found himself a gal and well, the rest is history.
So about expanding that social circle of mine? This isn't going to be easy.

The best way to meet new people is go out and do some social activities. That is what I have done in the past and it works! Go out and try!
It's hard when you move to a new place. When we're younger, we make friends in school. But as we get older, life is more complicated. I find I have more situational friends, but not as close as when I was younger. I just can't devote the time to build them like I used to.
Good luck finding a new core group in your not-so-new place.
Good luck. I know exactly how you feel. Not an easy task at all. But you'll ace it! You're such an awesome person!! =) How can anyone not like you?!
I totally understand what you're going through. I often wonder who my circle would include if it weren't for me working with the absolute BEST group of co-workers anyone could ask for. We are so much like a family it's crazy.
I totally agree with Brian...you need to get out and find some social activities to take part in. It's also fun to go somewhere and just "people watch" and spark up a conversation. Good Luck!
