 You need to rely on other people less. Find your own happiness in your own
 home. Make friends with the people around you. If you don't like your home,
 then why would you live there? If you don't like your neighbors, then why
 would you trust them enough to live next to them?

 I believe you can only have community with people you live with, or work with.
 
 If you don't live with them, or work with them, then what do you share?

 I need to move out.
 
 I need to find my people.
 
 I don't know where they are.
 
 Wherever I look I see strangers. Nowhere do I see people like me. It's been
 like this my whole life.
 
 Where do I belong? Please don't say the underworld.

 An important aspect to friendship is "loose" time together - like, at a party,
 you might interact with a dozen people, or you might spend it all with one
 special someone - but the time is "loose" you can do with it what you will.

 yes
 
 it makes it difficult to connect with them.
 
 I find that people like that need a different context, if you want to connect,
 so that you can see them in a new light.
 
 if they're still ":(" then you can't waste your energy on them - they are
 working on themselves. At least, they should be.

 just because someone did something one way and it worked, doesn't mean you
 have to do it that way again.
 
 but you should have a reason why you aren't doing it that way.

 my family includes my friends. My family is smaller than my community, but
 it's still a useful category of people. Those you are close enough with to
 mutually seek to spend time together, compared to a community which is those
 who take care of each other, work together, and live through time with.

 to be "rich" is to have more than another.
 
 if you are happy, they are happiness poor.
 if you have community, they are alone.
 if you have serenity, they are chaotic.
 
 I am rich in very little but fire in my soul.
 
 I have enough in most cases, but I still struggle to pay rent.
 
 I am warmed by the pearl my swirling darkness has coalesced into. It nourishes
 me and keeps me aligned.
 
 Never forget your purpose and your truth. It will not abandon you, so long as
 you do so too.

 perhaps you need a community, rather than a friend? just a guess

 Every time you see the same dog being dog-sat by another person it's an
 opportunity to make a new friend.
 
 or do you not know your apartment neighbors? do they not wander through your
 shared yards?
 
 the ones with dogs, at least.
 
 and no, I don't know many of my neighbors.
 
 these are considerations to be taken note of for future forethought planning.
