It's good to join an organization or club if you want have more friends. This is a great way to find other people who have common interests. You don't necessarily need to have a lot of common interests with people in order to make friends with them. In fact, some of the most rewarding friendships are between two people who don't have much in common at all. However, if you like a specific topic, try searching for a location where you can meet people who share that interest.

“Hi-Bye” friends (or acquaintances). These are the ones you see at school/work because the context calls for it. You say hi when you see each other and you say bye at the end of the day, but that’s about it. The relationship never lasts when the context is removed, i.e. when you graduate from school or leave the workplace.
Regular friends. Social, activity buddies you meet up every now and then to catch up or hang out with. You can generally talk about regular topics under the sun.
True, soul friends (or best friends). People you can talk anything and everything with. You may or may not meet up every day, but it doesn’t matter as the strength of your friendship is not determined by how frequently you meet up — it’s more than that. These are the friends you can trust to be there for you whenever you need them, and they will go the extra mile for you.
Most of us are looking to make regular friends and if possible, true, soul friends. We probably have a lot of hi-bye friends — more than we can count. The ratio of my hi-bye friends, normal friends, and true, soul friends is about 60-30-10%. Over the years as I meet more and more people, it has become more like 75-20-5%. I suspect it’s about the same for other people too, with a variance of about 5-10%.

No matter whether you just want to make normal or best friends, you can do that. You may not believe it, but I was a very quiet and secluded girl back during my primary and secondary school years. When I was in junior college, I maintained this seclusive lifestyle, though I began to speak up more. Entering university and later on P&G (my ex-company) made me more sociable. Today I run my blog and coach others through 1-1 coaching and workshops where I share a lot of my life to others. If the younger me had wondered what I would be like in the future, I wouldn’t never have thought that I would be as outward and expressive as I am today.

If you take a look at the people out there who seem to make friends easily, they were probably seclusive themselves at some point. Their social skills were likely all picked up over time. For this same reason, you can learn to become more sociable through time and practice.

First of all you need to be yourself as in giving yourself some respect because the kind of person you are determines the kind of friends you will make either the right friend or the wrong one. Secondly you need to have good morals, there is this saying that goes this way that action speaks louder than voice if you have good attitude you will get the real friend. Thirdly you need to have love for yourself because love is the primary thing when it comes to friendship, love yourself and the person you want to make friends with. Finally you must be generous when it comes to making friends because it is written that God loves a cheerful giver and a giver never lacks so if you are giving you will see the right friend coming to you.

Making friends isn't that difficult, it just requires a bit of trust and sacrifice from you. If you want to make new friends, you can start by going to social gatherings; bars, hangouts, conferences depending on what type of friends you want to make.
Talk to these kind of people, find out what they like, ambitions and try to connect with them in a way they can relate to.
Get their contacts.
Keep in touch with them and make sure anytime you do that you always seem valuable, like you have something that will help them to get to the next level.
 Hope this helps. Cheers!

You just have to be yourself and tell me a little about yourself, and then push the interviewer to tell the story of yourself!

Be yourself, don't forget to smile and be relaxed while communicating. Usually people feel the tension and are afraid of it.

Most people just like you have had some challenges in making friends. The basic factor that might influence affinity to others may depend on their personality. who they really are.

The concept of friendship is largely about appreciating and accepting who you are and who the person you want to be your friend is. the absence of appreciation and acceptance makes friendship quite impossible.

If you want a sociable and easy going friend? first of all ask yourself whether you can relate with such a person. if you cant related with the kind of person you want to be friends with there is no way you two can be friend.

Go and initiate. Just be yourself, no pretending and smile. True friends will accept you for who you are. As long you are there to support each other, that will be called friendship.
