I think I know why. But correct me if this isn't the right reason and suggest me reasons for why I may have little friends.
I think the reason I am so quick to lose friends is that I mentally value the achievement of being correct over the strength of a relationship. This means, I would rather argue and verbally prove that I am correct. I feel this is the case as I am struggling right now. I often make friends very quickly but then also get into deep arguments with no patch insight and so very soon have them depart from me :(
At the moment, I am arguing with my family. They want me to take a certain action (pay a small amount of money to person X). This money is from their pocket rather than mine. However out of personal principles, I deem this as unnecessary. My family digress. Since I am the only person able to pay person X at this moment of time, they are threatening me with various consequences (including objects, violence and not paying for certain activities I undertake). In this situation as in many other situations, I feel it would be in my personal interest to comply. A rational individual would comply. However I am stubborn and like to stick to principles when I deem them as being absolutely correct and that there is no real overall benefits from performing a certain action. Is this the reason why I fail at relationships and what should I do?
Put the internet to work for you.
