The internet does help. Actually, I'd say my only real friends right now are my fandom friends on the internet. Except for my husband, everyone I come into contact with in RL falls into what I think of as "friendly acquaintances" or that you might call "useful" or "entertaining" friends.
We've recently joined a small group from our church. I'm hoping that might help to ameliorate the problem by turning church acquaintances into friends--but I don't know. At 60, we are the "babies" of the group, and so far have little in common. But we've just started, so hope still springs.
Re: your PS, it never even occurred to me to take offense, dear! I mean it's nearly impossible to list everyone in something like that. You were "sampling" and that's quite all right with me! LOL!
And sorry you thought I was talking about you at first--I was meaning the link I clicked on!
