<human>: I really think I am a good guy.  I am a touch abrasive on rare occasions, and can be a little bit opinionated when it is a subject that I am well-educated on, but for the most part, I am a funny, witty guy who really does make an extra effort to make people smile.  I love the feeling I get when I am kind to people, and I love being surrounded by friends.  I am exceptionally successful in my career, and am very well-known and respected in my profession.  But when it comes down to it, I have absolutely nobody who I can truly call a close friend.

I haven't had a person just text me to say "wanna go have a beer" who wasn't either trying to schmooze for some professional purpose or trying to turn it into a date in over a year.  Up until recently, I have always had a large circle of dependable friends, with whom I would do things such as have supper clubs or go to concerts.  I don't anymore, and I really cannot figure out why I cannot make new ones.

Can you provide a brief overview of the text?
<bot>: Ultimately, I have never felt so lonely in my life, despite a decent dating life and a perfect career.  I miss platonic human interaction, and I am sick of being alone.
