Anyone ever feel that way? I do not know what it is but I always seem to pick friends that are not good friends at all.

My first best friend got in an argument and fight and never talked again, age 6.

Next best friend of 4 years slept with my girlfriend 16.

Best friend after that of 6 years, his mom was moving his senior year so I offered him to live with me and my family so he could graduate with our class. While living with me I had to stay home one day to receive furniture and my girlfriend was out of town so I asked one of my ex girlfriends who my girlfriend and I was friends with to stay home and talk with me online so I wouldn't be so bored and my friend wanted to date her so he or jealous an ruined my relationship with my girl and told all of our mutual friends not to Han out with me at all.

The last best friend I had who I even was the best man at his wedding got addicted to prescription pills and let that get in the way of his relationship with everyone including his wife.

And since I have been married my wife doesn't seem to like any of the friends I had so I pretty much put everything into my relationship and lost all of my friends but now I am getting divorced how can I find good, genuine friends?

Or is it me, and I just haven't realized it all these years?

Sounds like you've gotten the short end of the stick by several "friends". Yes people are selfish and mean and they seem to be getting worse. Sounds like you need to change the people you hang out with and who you pick for friends. Where a lot of people mess up, is they make friends with people who do evil things, but not just to them. Well, that only works for awhile. If you are associating with people who do bad things to others, expect them to eventually do the same kinds of things to you.

It takes two to make an argument.

You had a fight with your friend because you didn't want him to date your ex-girlfriend? You don't blame your mutual friends at all for not hanging out with you simply because someone told them not too? They don't sound like they were real friends.

And you feel wronged by this?

Yes I know the feeling. I can't really relate to anyone I've ever met. I feel like I'm not cut out for this world.

Touché.

I had no problem with him talking to my ex he blew up assuming I was trying to get back with her. Yeah high school kids are finicky.

Not necessarily wronged but just listing all the friends I had.

And what exactly do your personal ill choices of people and your acts have to do with the world and WORLD not being cut for YOU? Usually, it's the other way around - YOU are not cut for the world, and that is easily explained. But blaming world after few things like that? That's awfully large ego to deal with.
Also, you, like most of people I know, toss word "friend" around liberally. Too liberally. You did not have friend at six. Very likely, none of people you mentioned are REAL friends. Real friends are very very very hard to come by. Acquaintances you did have, that's true. Not friends.

I'm not necessarily blaming the world as I have no influence over it. I'm looking at "my" slice of the world so yeah saying I'm not cut out for this world would have been a better word choice but I chose mine for dramatic effect.

Have I made bad choices, sure. But I am thinking it is possibly my personality that's messed up more than saying it is everyone else and not me. I just wanted to push some I my thoughts to board and see what others think.

Agreed with o.p...although mine hasn't been as bad,it's still gone downhill. Don't want to sound all religious here but I hear that if we weren't meant to be here we wouldn't,so apparently we're here for a reason.

It's just possible that some of us are here to provide a bad example, or to make others feel a little less disappointed with themselves and the way their lives have turned out.

So maybe it seems that we don't belong, but actually we are providing a needed service.
