Why not get a couple of new friends you spend time with casually which you don't need to let into your world but can still reap the benefits of reciprication and being in their company? You could do it as easily as simply pursuing a hobby on a bigger than private level.
This is something from Cholrine which I found very useful:
"Friends often have something in common, and that makes for a friendship. Like if we both enjoy fishing. We are friends because of our fishing hobby, but also....our hobby itself is what keeps the friendship going. Take the hobby away, and we might not be friends anymore."
Don't cry, don't regret and don't blame
Weak find the whip, willing find freedom
Towards the sun, carry your name
In warm hands you are given
Ask the wind for the way
Uncertainty's gone, your path will unravel
Accept all as it is and do not blame
God or the Devil
