Growing Up Sollux was actually a pretty happy kid when he was younger, but became alienated and somewhat emotionally warped due to his complete inability to relate to people. He got pretty lonely with it, eventually getting to the point where he could lash out at others or hate himself. He chose to do both and frequently rotated between the two states. His lusus was kind, but really really unbelievable stupid, he chained him to the roof of his hive complex for the idiot's own safety. However this just ended up distancing him from others even more. He got into computers because he thought they were easy to use and a good way to waste time spent by yourself (ie all his time). He got really good at them and found even if people didn't like him at least he could. Impress them, and then just be a huge asshole to them and make fun of them in one of those WELL IF PEOPLE DON'T LIKE ME ITS CAUSE THEY ARE DUMB mindsets.
anyway no one cares about that (friends)
He met Karkat and they became friends through a comedy of errors yet to be decided by me and Karkat mun (though I frequently like to imagine it ended with Karkat making Sollux cry), Terezi and him both have a good penchant for being ridiculous and not making sense, so that was an easy friendship at that point as well. I like to think everyone he knows he met through Aradia or Karkat.
Karkat, Terezi, and Aradia are probably his closest friends, though he like Kanaya and is getting closer to Feferi everyday. He's ambivalent towards Gamzee, Tavros, and Nepeta. He hates Vriska cause of what she did to Terezi, finds Equius detestable, and Eridan annoying as shit.

Karkat -> Gamzee
Aradia -> Tavros -> Terezi -> Vriska -> Equius -> Nepeta
Aradia -> Tavros -> Terezi -> Vriska -> Kanaya -> Feferi -> Eridan
A CIRCLE OF MEETING.
anyway that's not really important either.
