I used to not have any friends, but it changed once I started realizing that friendships require regular work. If you don't put effort into it, they just fizzle out, and that's when people start ghosting you. I started by finding people with similar backgrounds, commin interests, and in the same stage of life that I am now. It is much easier to be friends with someone who is similar to me. After you find people like this, just talk to them on the regular, invite them to go out, and do things together. Eventually they will be an important part of your life just like you will be part of theirs.
