Finding friends has reached the point of being too exausting, what now?

[Anonymous]

I can't seem to click with anyone I meet.
I look in the right places, and I make friends very easily and quickly, but I become annoyed by them soon after, and end up back to square one of having no friends.

I've gotten tired of that cycle and have reached the point where the past 30 or so people attempting to be my friend, I've ignored, ghosted, or blocked before even giving them a chance to talk to me at all, simply because I just don't want to be dissapointed again.

I'm not happy being a hermit either. But its less stressful than constantly meeting new people only to just ditch them a few weeks or months in because they get on my nerves or I just can't relate to them

To be clear, in every situation, I'm the one who backed out of the friendship.
Most people who give advice tend to focus on how to change yourself, how to make people like you.

But lots of people liked me..
I just didn't like them.

Should I just remain isolated even though I don't like it?

I've decided to give up and remain a hermit.
