Usually friendships develope when people are doing something an activity. It brings more of a connection because it's something both are engaging in and discovering and learning so they both are engaging in something.

For example, I liked riding horses and tended to make friends with others who liked riding too. Or, when someone takes classes and plays a musical instrument, often they make friends with someone who is also doing that and they begin to share things they are learning and working around. There are people who make friends with others that go bike riding in groups too. I have a friend that got involved with taking ball room dancing classes. She gradually got to know others who also got involved with that too. She began to make friends. We have our personalities as you described yours, you are likeable and friendly and the next thing to do with that is find something you can get involved with doing where you can develop interesting friendships.

People tend to like doing things, activities and they build relationships around that. Like for instance, taking cooking classes which can be fun and it's an activity that some actually find they end up enjoying. They meet other people exploring that activity too, and they begin to chit chat about that activity and a friendship develops.

There are things in people you want to avoid though. There are individuals that tend to talk about different groups in a POSSESSIVE way. For example, "my hangout, my group, my club". These individuals tend to be controlling and will look to OWN conversations, and need things to happen THEIR WAY. You will fair better with people who instead have open minds and like to listen to different opinions and different styles of cooking, art, literature, ideas etc.

There are so many activities you can get involved with and try. You don't have to be a master at any of these actiivites either. Instead, it's more about exploring and learning and meeting others who are doing the same.

Also, sometimes a person who is friendly and fun loving and social can actually be a threat to a controlling type personality. Like the kind of individuals who need to be the possessive type where your friendliness can feel threatening to them. Possessive type people NEED to have others agree with their opinions and ways to doing things. They tend to not function well in a group unless they are the leader. So often it's important that when you join a group you watch out for this kind of person and instead gravitate to others who enjoy a bouqet of opinions and ideas because they will be more receptive to YOUR personality and right to have your own fun loving identity.
