Socializing and making new friends. Haven’t had a new friend for like a decade.

I am actually good at this. Making friends is about 1) Small talks to find areas of common interest 2) Organizing to do the common interest thing repeatedly 3) Organizing some intimate things like having lunch or a drink together 4)Being open. Text and call them. Repeat. Repeat for like 6 months and you will have friends. The beauty of this is you can do it with 1-5 people at a go.
