Why is it so hard to make and keep friends??!?

Question

I'm in my 30s, been living in the US for almost 20 years so I didn't get to make friends here in school, etc. 
I have "friends" at work, I thought I was making friends at this social club I belong to but every time they get together I am not invited, some of the women don't even hide it, they'll invite each other in front of me. And it really hurts my feelings. But when they see me they seem happy to be with me and talk to me. 
I feel like I'm back in high school! 
I have never been the popular girl, people don't naturally gravitate toward me but I used to be able to make friends. 
What does a person have to do to be liked around here?? 
This is pathetic I know…

Try another group, find something you like...if you like to read, join a book club, or just something that interest you, and you might be good at, it´s mostly easier to find friends you have something in common with. Mostly people appreciate when you open up to them. give them a chance, you can learn something from everyone.

Don't wait around, friendship are 2 way street.. Ask your "friends" hobby, needs, interest, stories. Share yours too. Sometime there is people with special perks that make everyone care and want to be his/her friend without much efforts. Unfortunately for us, we have to work hard to have and maintain our friends.
