It takes time to develop close friendships and relationships with people. In the mean time, you can have casual friendships with people, meaning going to hangout and have a social life so you are not isolated.
Once you determine that your friends are safe and will not use you, you can deepen your friendship with them.
If you don't enjoy their company, maybe you can enjoy whatever interest you share in common. For example, if you go to a concert with them, try to enjoy the music and practice being in the moment. And who knows, even people you don't connect with at first, you may connect with them as you get to know them better. Give them a chance and let them give you a chance.
