Chameleon

For as long as i remember I've been the chameleon - the one who bounced from groups of acquaintances with no concrete friendship. I've had the world wind friendship where I've been friends with 1 person lived life to the full then some how or another it would fizzle out to barely a glance in the street.
I have very  much been the happy dog to society,wagging my tail and eyes full of excitement and loyalty but its seems to have got me nowhere in the friendship department.
Now 21 with a young child living on my own terms I'm not much further along in life if anything i would say  i have less people i would consider friends but merely people i know.
The problem i have is a lot of people force friendship especially if your from a small town,rather than finding people who are like minded and have the same interest.More time people will result to people they've known over the years with forced basis.
Maybe that's where  I'm going wrong?
I don't see the point in trying to fit in anymore
But have i decided this too late in the cycle?

Ancient tradition gone to far?

When a Kyrgyz man decides to marry, he often abducts the woman he has chosen. Typically, he and several friends hire a car, stake out his bride-to-be's movements, snatch her off the street, and take her to the groom's family home. A delegation is then sent to her family. The abducted woman is held until someone from her family arrives to determine whether they will accept the "proposal" and she will agree to marry her kidnapper.

BRIDE KIDNAPPING documents in harrowing detail four such abductions, from the violent seizures on city streets and the tearful protests of the women, who are physically restrained and persuaded to accept their fate by the women of the groom's family, to the often tense negotiations between the respective families, and either the eventual acquiescence or continued refusal of the young women.
