Hi, Lindsey! I hope you find what you're looking for here. I didn't have many friends when I was 8 and that was pretty lonely. I had one friend who was 4 and that was good and a couple of friends who were adults and that was good, too, but nobody my own age and nobody who was interested in the stuff I liked (I always wanted a friend who liked secret codes so we could make messages for each other and play spy together.)
Hang in there and it will be easier to find friends when you are older. I hope you can find some good friends now, but if you can't, don't be sad and just do other fun things that you like and wait until the friends come into your life because eventually they will!
And welcome to Wrong Planet!
