Struggling to make/keep friends

I think I’m someone who succeeds at making friends fast. I think I’m generally a good listener, I try to be open, I’m pretty decent at organizing and hosting, and I’m willing to go the extra mile for people which is actually not that common these days.

Unfortunately, over the past year, I’ve found that some of those friends I made and put a lot of effort and time into were not great. In the end I’d much rather have 2-3 really good friends who reciprocate my efforts and care rather than a collection of “friends” I can’t trust to be there for me or treat me with the same grace and understanding that I try to give. And that, my friend, is the greatest challenge.

I can relate. I have a few friends that I've kept in contact with through out the years, but we aren't close....
I didn't have a best friend to call when I found out I was pregnant.
I've lost a lot of my friendships because I don't do drama.
And I also think my life is pretty boring, so it's hard to make friends.
My BF is my best friend and my next closest are my sisters. Maybe that's good enough, at least I know they will stick around.

I'm good at making friends but not keeping them mostly I think because like johanna, I would rather have a couple of good reliable friends who I can count on, than a tribe of flakey ones, I'm also much better with men that women, not sure why, I think because I'm low maintenance, I don't really do girly stuff, don't wear make up, although I love getting dressed up that's not my natural state.

I'm also a bit blunt so I call people out on their behavior which often doesn't go down well.
