I'm extremely, EXTREMELY anti-social. I don't say a single thing. Not because I'm shy, but I just don't want to. It's kinda weird. I've had girlfriends but I literally have NO friends. Not even one. It's kinda bringing me down. I don't even know.

Its fine to be anti-social. You have probobely heard of Introverts and Extroverts. I personally am a very social guy and i like to meet people. But some people aren't like me and that is completely fine. Making friends can me hard but i bet that if you start to make friends then it will be easier to make more. When i am with my friends i like to be social but i really don't talk that much, i just listen. You would be surprised the stuff you can hear if you are quiet, lol. Its ok, your not alone!

It's alright to not associate with people. Hell it may be a good thing with all the idiots and terrible people in the world.

First of all,
the correct term is asocial.
Anti-social is something completely different. They are not the same thing.
I've never been able to make friends because of my shyness, which stems from my self esteem issues. I never say a thing because I'm afraid I'll say something wrong and make people dislike me (it's happened more often than you'd think.)
If you just don't want to make friends, that's fine too. Can I have your share?

Friends are earned. Friendships last because two parties give and take. You might not want to talk to them but if you don't like being friendless, you'll have to. There are other ways of making friends other than talking of course but if people find you aloof, you'll have to make the first move.
People say you gotta "be yourself" but our personalities and values aren't set in stone. "Acting" sociable isn't bad. It's just people skills.
It's fine to be alone if you're okay with being alone but really, we spend -a lot- of our time with other humans. You'll need to talk to those annoying living beings in the workforce for sure ;P
Honestly though, it's good to have friends. Friends can get you concert tickets, save you from burning buildings, help you when you feel like crap, make you laugh, let you copy their homework, give you someone to spend time with and lend you their iPods. And you'll do the same back.
It requires effort, it isn't easy and it's tiring but in the end it's worth it.
Unless, of course, you enjoy friendlessness.

You should do something! It's killing you if you're that alone. Sometimes you'll need to talk to people. I'd recommend that you start talking to the people around you and start gathering some friends. Like, hang out for a coffee, talk about music, girls, anything that may be appealing! I had been really asocial in my life before, but then I started talking to people and figured out that it was a really great feeling! :)
