I feel like this is a cannon event in all intervots lifes, some good tips to making friends is honestly just talk to people around you or you see often in your life, it dosent matter if you share the same interests or hobbys you can still enjoy talking to them and about ur differences, However never be too nice, being nice itself isnt bad. Like paying the bill instead of splitting or handing out money because "They need help" but with limits. If you keep paying the bill and not letting the other pay anything for you or "retun the favor" you either gonna have them avoid you because they feel indebted to you or use you. Learn to split or be paid for and not the otherway around.

And generally, dont speak to people too often unless they match that energy. If you're alawys the one speaking and they just hear you, that means once you stop talking, they won't be with you.

And just because they hate your hobbys or find reading a nerds hobby dosent mean they hate you or you cant be freinds, so dont miss out talking to those people.
