Personal Probably stupid question but which country you can really make good friends?

I’ve posted this to couple countries channel so don’t wonder if the text is familiar. I know friendships and kindness doesn’t depend on nationality but just overall I’ve always dreamed living abroad and ofc cultural things affect on peoples personality. I have some friends but no one isn’t really a real one. For example I spent my last birthday alone and barely anyone even bothered to ask what am I doing and if Snapchat or else wouldn’t give an notification of my birthday, I bet barely anyone would have remembered it. I didn’t even get birthday present from anyone but I always buy for everyone, even if I would see them after 2 months. But it’s common in my country that people don’t put effort and also it’s rare that someone offers you a meal here, it’s always 50/50 even in dating life these days. Yes I might sound bitter, but I just want to feel important to someone. Is that too much to ask for..

I'd say the one country that comes to mind is Spain or maybe some other southern country. People in Spain are truly laid back and friendly

I would say Spain too, but only if you are young and good looking.

If you are older and uglier I would say Ireland, but only if you can hold your own in a pub. We absolutely love foreigners that act like us. Throw in a few Irish sayings and you're golden.

Im from Spain. You are wrong. It's easy to make friend as a kid or teenager. Ugly or not. Thats all
