Hey, exactly my situation. 17 years living here and 0 friends. But whenever I meet a tourist (a lot of urban-type tourists from Southern Ontario stop on my road to take photos etc.), I feel an instant and energized connection. I think it's because I enjoy people who have seen the world a bit, whereas the people around here all grew up here and never left. Traveling wakes people up and broadens one's horizons. Hate to generalize but it's true, to a degree anyway. But I'm happy regardless. I say hi to people and can enjoy a short chat. Pretty good life for sure, and to tell the truth... I seriously enjoy my solitude!
