How can I make close friends?

Well sometimes I am asocial or just hate the sound of people talking. I been like this since adolescence and haven't really noticed until later. I have no material nor desire to talk to people, but I will like to have that cheery feeling I had when I was like 7. I can't naturally approach and start a conversation as I like. I can't think of anything to say back. To me, most of the things people talk about are either flame bait or empty comments. It's confusing when random strangers of this generation try to talk to me in their Reality TV Rap K-pop Meme Swoll Lifting dialect. My family thinks I'm going to be a serial killer. I don't know if I can survive in the real world and leave home as I start my journey towards becoming the next Pirate King.

The last 3 sentences are not completely true.

The only way people can get past this I think would be to try, fail, and try again. When you are growing up most kids do this naturally but since you're behind in social skills you will have to make up for it.

I can relate. I made a friend in my major since we share common hobbies but not a close friend

You can let people approach you. It's not hard, if you look approachable. Talking about school is your best bet, if you're talking to someone in one of your classes and you don't know them very well. It worked for me.

I know exactly how you feel TS, but like someone said before, just try and make friends or meet people that share the same similar interests as you do.
And it will be a little easier in college too, because you can talk to people in the same major as you (in classes).
It is hard talking to people that only talk about stupid things that I simply don't care about, and it totally isn't because we 'try to hard to be better than everyone else'.

[quote=Bulimia]so basically you hate everything that normal people like and then wonder why you have no friends. you want close friends? maybe lose the whole im-trying-too-hard-to-be-better-than-everybody-else attitude and you just might make some![/quote]

I do not bully people nor give any attitude in real life. I just stare blankly in confusion and think if anything I say back would be interesting and wonder if they think I'm awkward. I'm shy and don't understand people very much.

Ehhh, I don't care about being better than other people, but I still legitimately hate many things.

It's not your fault.
Once you turn adolescent, it's quite normal for you to realise that your peers are annoying.
Mmmmm, pick up a hobby and join a club related to that hobby to meet people...
Or you could wait until college; if you study something you really like, you're bound to meet a few likeminded people.
