Where is my Social life in England?

I would like to talk a bit about what I mentioned about my personal crisis, my social life during the time I was living in England, I want to make a point for you readers don't generalize it, please, it was a personal problem, it was not something about the British people. It was a shock how different it could be from the culture I was just coming out - Brazil.
The notion I had about friendship was so different from Brazil, because we here, latinos, we say that everybody around are amigos-friends, funny enough I learned the real meaning of friendship living outside Brazil, we can't say that everybody can be your friend, it doesn't exist, but in my point of view it can exist in latino culture. Now as days a friend is someone you can trust, someone that is like a brother not a family brother, but someone you can trust completely, why people in UK say is very difficult to find a friend.
In South America in general, it is very easy to find amigos-friends, but it doesn't mean you can trust completely on them. I can say I made friends during the time I lived in England, just 2 friends, I was back Brazil and said it to the people and they were horrified, because here everybody is your friend, it is not good at all here you can call 1, 2 person as friends.
And it is something that you can't make any judgment about, I just can say this is culture, in case, different cultures, different social approaches.
