Maybe because when he was younger, his "best friend" played sports and he had to stay home and study. So his best friend had better friends they could spend more time with. After he's blinded everyone treats him differently, and he has to work twice as hard to be good at school.
When he's at the orphanage he's bullied, and he's working through his senses, and Stick starts stealing him away. Maybe after Stick leaves he's too afraid to make friends, or at least good ones.
Cue Foggy, who decides Matt is his best friend after like four days of knowing the guy, and Matt is eternally confused/eternally happy.
+10 if it is both angsty and fluffy in equal measures +100 if Matt is super confused about normal social relationships +1000 if Foggy does stuff like not go out to loud parties or not do something he really wanted to do because Matt is uncomfortable
Matt's never had a best friend
