I need some advice on how to make friends

In my experience, asking someone about their emotions works better than asking them to solve your problems.  Why don’t you tell me about a specific friendship you’re looking for?
assistant
I am lonely so I want to make friends that I can spend time with and rely on
user
Do you mean someone you can count on, or someone you can rely on?
assistant
Someone you can count on and someone you can rely on is the same thing
user
Well, I’m confused then.  Someone you can count on means you expect they will meet your needs.  Someone you can rely on is someone you feel safe with, someone you feel confident will take care of you if you need them to.
assistant
Yes that is the same thing essentially
