Let's say you move to a new city or your close friends move away, etc. Now you wish you had more friends. What would YOU do?

Me: In my case friendships "just happen." I cannot explain it and am no use when it comes to answering this question. I wish I could and would appreciate your response based on your own experience.

Additional Questions:

How do YOU attempt to get past being "acquaintances" and deepen a relationship to a "friendship?"

Do you have any advice specifically for "busy" people without much spare time who want to meet new people and make new friends?

Do you have any specific advice for disabled people who have trouble leaving the house who want to make new friends and meet new people?

Do you have any specific advice for individuals who are highly sensitive (due to a biological condition such as a "sensitivity disorder") and need their friends to be reasonably positive, or at least not super negative and depressing, most of the time? (I hear that most people looking for friendship online are super miserable and have bad energy.... This may be false.)

Any specific advice for meeting smart people? (I've heard that the easiest people to meet are often those that one can "run mental laps around.")

How do YOU screen out and deal with those you find undesirable (or even "sticky") on your search for new friends and acquaintances?
