You really deserve good friends.
The thing about people with families is that their first obligation is their families and they are often busy with them. I think the trick is to eventually find a single friend who are capable of providing emotional support. It takes time, but I'm wishing you the best!

I’m not sure I respect boundaries so much as I’m conscientious. If I get close to someone, they’ll have to have strong boundaries because I’ll have a harder time.
I know most people’s first obligation is to family. That’s why I often wish I had a significant other. Not like I would expect to be first obligation, I mean that would go to their real family, pets, real best friend, job...hopefully I would at least rank higher than at least some of their friends and have someone to go places with etc. I would at least have someone I could make first priority so I wouldn’t have to take on all the overtime.
I don’t think I should be friends with single people...if they actually provided me with emotional support I would just fall in love with them and get my heart broken.
