Society is what ultimately makes our species strong. It allows our chewy tasty bodies to climb to nearly the top of the food chain when we should really be somewhere in the lower middle of it. Without society we would not be alive in the numbers the human race has achieved. (For better or worse)
Society has rules, short cuts, cheats, and even mutually cooperative agreements which are give and take based on your own abilities. Our own individual wit, charm and intelligence determine how much we may prosper from these social agreements.
Operating outside of this agreement is nearly impossible. The choice was made by our ancestors. Your choice remains the daily decision and will power to conform to expectations. The more urban the setting you live in requires more conformity.
Those who reach the top more often do so by working within these confines. Some cheat the system and still get ahead but take on greater risk. Life is risk. Find your own tolerance to it based on your ability to recover from failure.

On religion and other belief systems
I would rather be entertained by the pursuit of the elusive answers in life. To question is to learn. Religion is the end of questions and the pursuit of knowledge. It is the beginning of self delusion and allows others to take advantage of your weakness of mind.
Unquestionable answers (Religion) or unanswerable questions (Science). Which do you prefer?
My choice is the unbiased pursuit of knowledge and the acceptance that I will never have all the answers. (But I will have more than those that think they already have all the answers.)
Knowledge is an advantage to your families survival. Ignorance is a weakness that will be exploited to take advantage of those you love.
Science is said to be a religion as it does require some faith. I choose science since I can modify my "faith" as new evidence presents itself.
Religion is the vain belief that all of the questions have been answered by someone smarter than yourself... It is the wish for a better world in which someone really cares. No one cares about you beyond their own selfish reasoning's except family. History illustrates this fully. No one has died trying to prove or disprove science. Millions and millions have died, been tortured and worse over the irrational beliefs of religion.
Want something greater to believe in?
Find happiness on your own terms and conditions.
Make children.

Why friends and relationships can never last and what to do about it.
Society is built to take advantage of the team work of it's participants. Society generally follows the principal of the greater good wins however the definition is very often at odds to your own greater good.
Most people loosely operate within the confines of societies laws to take advantage of what suits their own needs. Everyone actually prioritizes their own family first. This becomes apparent around age 25 you will be shocked into reality with life's cruelness.
One by one BFF's (Big fat friends) turn to their own families and priorities abandoning their past promises. When you realize that no one really cares about you except your own parents you may become depressed. Staying depressed occurs when you give up. Never give up or you will die. Don't die because happiness is just around the corner.
This is just how humans are programmed: Successfully compete or die is the strategy. Everything else is in the way and needs to run, fight or be eaten.
Lonely and need purpose?
Make children and find true love in them.
