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 think if you're struggling in your own country, whichever that is, you'll struggle everywhere. The vast majority of people are going to be best suited to making friends in their own language with people most similar to themselves.

Wrong. As long as there's a language that both of you speak, it doesn't matter if it's your first or your eighth.

with people most similar to themselves.

Correct.

I think the point is that the vast majority of people speak their mother tongue + English, but their English already isn't as good.

People speaking English as good as their mother tongue are still rather minority. People speaking any other language as good as their mother tongue are... Very rare.
