Everyone has at least one person that they call and talk too. I dont, I feel uncomfortable around women nowI focus on my family, like my sisters, neice etc. but I kinda miss having a girl to chat with, thats not related to me lol. I find girls dismiss me and dont seem to interested in talking/ being friends etc.How do I get friends like I had before? Reply to this Question

First, let's hope that by 'burned' you don't mean literally.
You've got to open yourself up to taking the risk of being vulnerable again, and find a place where you can meet people who you have something in common with. Join a club, something social, volunteer at a museum... or something where people your age might be (OK, the museum may not have a lot of 22 year olds there... but my wife did do that in her 20's...
Get out and meet people, get a hobby, start doing something so that you can meet people. It's scary at first, but worth it once you're in the grove!
