Is 15 your age?
Everyone feels like this at some point especially around this age.
Try not to let it all get you down.
Look to your family for support.
Do you have cousins of a similar age?
There are probably many people that consider you as a friend and you just dont realise.
Its very easy to feel isolated, its part of growing up, but believe me, eventually you will have people that you know you can call real friends.
You dont have to be smiley all the time. Just be yourself.
Try joining a group or club?
Are you good at acting? Music?
Are there any plays or concerts you can take part in?
Thats a good way to make friends.
Just be yourself, be nice, be friendly, and be open to making friends with people you probably wouldnt normally be friends with.
If you have casual friends surely they have the potential of becoming "real" friends? You just need to make an effort with them.
It takes a while to be able to confidently call someone a real friend.
Im almost 21, ive had lots of friends, some friends that I only hung around with for a year or two - thought they were real at the time but dont even really see/speak to them now!
Friendship is a very strange thing especially at your age.
Just keep enjoying peoples company and eventually youll be able to call certain people good friends.
Dont worry! Your only young! You have years to establish good friendships and im sure it will all be fine. For the moment just be yourself and try and enjoy yourself!

Make small attempts to be who you want to be, dont change who you are though. your be surprised how much your life will change for the better in a few years anyway

Develop and large group of acquaintances. You will use your acquaintances as a surrogate family. By having a large group, you will only depend on any one a little. This is occurring slowly in our society. Developing a large group of people who will take your call is becoming the norm.
The single individual who is relatively free of imprinting can function with versatility, freedom and autonomy, and can begin to express a new kind of commitment - commitment not to a specific individual, not to an attachment figure, but to a much greater environment.
