How to make/keep friends?

I seem to have an issue where even if I make friends I never get really close with them. And I really really want that best friend who sleeps over every weekend and you watch movies and talk about boys (stereotypical I know) but I'm having such a hard time obtaining an even average friendship that this is seeming like an impossible dream. I have anxiety and that makes trying to make friends even harder for me. Any tips/suggestions on how to make friends and then also keep and get close with them? Also I'm 17, thank you!

    I've had this problem too. I came to realize that I got a little too excited about the new friend and it started scaring them away. When you get a good friend, ease into the friendship. You won't be super awesome best friends right away, that takes time. I'm with you, a friend like that sounds amazing. You'll find one! Good luck! :)
