My own personal perspective is one has to go out & get involved in things one is interested in &, in the process, one will inevitably meet new people. Over time at least a few of them may become friends. However, since I'm an old recluse, what occurs to me with regard to your concern is probably wrong.

Here are links to 7 articles, from Psych Central's archives, on the subject of how to make, & keep, friends:

Thank you, I appreciate this! Thanks for your reply on my other post as well! I will definitely have to look at those links sometime when I get the chance! I probably should try joining a club or activity or something. I have tried a few different clubs in the past, but always kind of wound up dropping out of them because I got bored, couldn't stand the commitment, and/or just didn't seem to make any friends.
