Why does it seem like nobody's looking to make new friends?

I haven’t had a friend since I left high school…almost 6 years ago. It seems to get harder to make meaningful relationships as we age. I too get the impression that people who have friends are less likely looking to make new friends. It’s like we have to seek out the lonely people who will have us…lol…although I know that’s not true in many cases. I go well out of my way to help people out at work and in life in general, and people just take advantage of it and offer nothing in return. It is really quite depressing. I guess all we can keep doing is trying, and if one place doesn’t work (trying to make friends in classes or at work), then we need to try different places (other activities, volunteer, etc.).
