Easy, to make friends you gotta be friendly to other people. Talk to people more, hang out with the people you meet.

Prime yourself for friendship
You may want friendship, but what kind of friend would you make? Factors to consider include:

Attitudes to others - we can drive potential friends away by demanding they share our attitudes, beliefs or behaviours. If you accept that other people have a right to be different from you, then you open yourself up to the possibility of experiencing relationships that bring a fresh perspective to your life.

Treatment of other people - think about how you like to be treated, then offer the same to the people in your life.

Don't expect instant results -

Curb the urge to criticise -

Don't gossip -

Don't compromise yourself

Places to meet friends Suggestions include:

Many people make friends at work.

Follow your interests. For example, if you like walking, join a neighbourhood walking group.

If you don't work and have no particular hobbies, consider joining a volunteer group with a charity that interests you.

Use your existing network of family and friends to meet new people.

Don't turn down party invitations.

When making friends is difficult

Join groups that share your common interests. Talking

Watch and learn from gregarious people who make friends easily.

Practise looking people in the eye when you talk to them.

Listen to what others are saying, rather than focusing on your own self-consciousness.
Smile.

Look for anyone else in the room who seems socially awkward, and approach them for conversation.

When you talk to someone new, ask them questions about themselves or what they like to do; it's a good way to get started.
Social skills can be learned, so seek professional help if you feel you need it.

First I look for the kind of personality that I think that my friends should have. Then once I think I find it, I'll just go and talk to them. That's what you should do. If you know who you are then you know who your friends should be!

Perhaps get off the computer and join a hobby type group. There you will meet people with the same interests as you.

umm... be friendly and confident in yourself. Show the better side of you. Be trusting, honest, respectful, blablabla... if you already know that stuff - and you're just looking to get peoples attentions, so they WANT to be your friend. Be yourself in your livliest way <3

well being on here is a good start you can build some confidence, and while you are out in real life just join in the conversation.
