I actually find it easier to meet people and become friends as an adult than it was as a kid. Once I started going to university, I could just go do sports, meetups or activities (like theater, etc..), or even just chat up people waiting for the bus and it was easy to form a connection and start talking to people. As a kid, I didn't have that many avenues to meet people beside school and when I met someone from outside of school, it was always awkward.
