Girl seeking best friend. Apply within.

Why is it so hard to make true and lasting friendships? I mean is it just hard for me or is it hard for everyone? I feel like there are people out there who can go and make great, lasting friendships out of thin air and it's easy peasy. Then there are those people who have been friends with the same people since childhood and still are satisfied with their company and haven't grown apart. I on the other hand am not friends with my friends from childhood. Because:

A. They have moved away.
B. They have gotten married or pregnant and no longer have the time nor do we have anything in common to talk about.
C. They have turned into psychotics that I don't want for company.
D. They don't put as much effort into the friendship as I do.
E. They already have a best friend.

 I want to find a friend(s) who I have a lot in common with. Someone(s) who I can call at 2 am with my problems and they won't be annoyed. Someone who makes me a better person and calls me on the carpet for all my bull. Someone who inspires me and puts as much into the friendship as I do. Most people are looking for a soulmate with these qualities, but I have already found my male soulmate and now I want a female one. I feel as though I should put an ad on craigslist: Female desperately seeking friend, resume required, apply within. Sometimes the need to belong consumes my thoughts and I feel all alone, even when I'm in a crowd full of people because I don't have that one person I really connect with. I have people that I generally like but not the person when I'm in a conversation we both go "me too! I thought I was the only one!" Are there any normal girls out there to be friends with? Why are 98% of them psychos? And why are the rest who aren't psychos already taken? I mean the good ones have staked claims on bestfriends because they're lovely people. Why would they need a bestfriend when they've probably got people waiting in line? I just want a girl who gets me and the awkwardness that follows in my wake. Is that really too much to ask?

P.S. why is a friend breaking up with us ten times worse than an actual relationship breakup. I mean when my best friend "dumped me" after she moved away, I pined for her way longer than any guy. Sometimes I wonder if the reason I never have any girl relationships is because I have great guy ones. Does life have to even it out? Do you only get one relationship or the other?
