Sometimes when I tell my friends about something going on in my life (over the phone), I just dont hear the enthusiasm that they care even though they may say, "oh thats great you got a job interview" or "man, that sucks that somebody dissed you at work". I dont know what to do. i am so fed up with people and the way they are, that I dont know if I can invite new people into my life. Seems like people only befriend you when they want something or if you can get them a deal.

Read what you wrote here very carefully.
It sounds like there is something you want friends to provide
you with. Ask yourself this: what's in it for them?
To be honest, if all a friend wants me for is to talk about themselves, why would I call them? Do you take a genuine interest in what they do and what they value?
I don't know what the dynamic is like between you and your friends, but it sounds like you are more concerned with what you are getting than what you are offering.
It could also be that the people you are 'friends' with are not really a good match for you.
