i'm 25 and still at uni, so i meet people all the time. but i'm like you - going about making friends is something i find really difficult to do. my only group of friends are those i have from primary school (and they're great, but i can't rely on them only).

i just finished up a photography course on sunday, and i met some pretty cool people. it was nice, because even if i didnt meet anyone i still would have had a good time learning different techniques and stuff.

volunteering, like NF said, is great also. usually when you have shared interests you don't have to "become" interesting, because you just talk about what it is you have in common and slowly start talking about other things also. no need to perform .
