It's kind of a realization that I've come to that I really do need to start making healthier relationships, friendships, things like that. I've started that mostly by reaching out to old friends I haven't talked to in a while (it was kind of like after 2013 I became kind of a hermit, as far as I can recall), reaching out to people (here, for example, is a wonderful place. Thank you.

) and things like that, but I think I could use more advice on finding good friends. I'm not really very social, I'm pretty introverted (have been since I was a kid, really. I wasn't very talkative), so...this is kind of a minefield for me to navigate. How do I make new friends? How do I cultivate healthy relationships? I admit it does feel like a skill I need to relearn.
