wow, i hear ya man. felt like you were talking directly to me, on some parts. (my friend says he got this in an email about a year ago, so i know you didn't write it)
I guess each person is different, i figured out some stuff early, like who my real friends were, and how to tell, back in grade 10. I kept the same group of friends all through the last couple of grades, when everyone tried to be my friend, and i saw through their reasons.
It's true, they were just trying to figure it out too, but I could tell they didn't really want to hang out with me.
I still have the same group of friends, i kept them all the way through 4 years of college, we stayed close. I met a few friends in college, drinking buddies and flirty girls mostly, neither of which had anything substantial to offer me. I did meet one guy though who will be a friend forever, he knows who he is.
The shitty thing for me is, of those 4 guys i was friends with in highschool, one moved away to Victoria, a 4 hour drive and 2 hour ferry away. We used to be the best of friends, and now we are pretty much strangers. Then another moved, not too far this time, only 45 minutes away, but still, it was enough to break the connection.
Then, another moved away to victoria just last month (leaving me with only one real friend in my town). And guess what? he's movin to victoria in a a few days. 
oh well.. just have to make new friends i guess, i still have lots of acquaintances, and one guy from highschool i still call on a regular basis. it's just we are so different, it's hard. I quit smoking pot, and it's always awkward when i go there and he's stoned out of his head..
We drift deeper.... life goes on.....
