Friendships form when you repeatedly interact with the same person. This is not likely to happen at a random bar, but it most definitely can happen in a cooking class, when volunteering, playing music with people in a band, routinely getting together every Thursday night with others in your local makerspace and so on. Especially if you have to actually work together: perhaps offer your help to a local cause you support, perhaps a CoderDojo?<p>Also, FWIW, very few adults still know their childhood and high school friends and most people gradually lose the friends they make in college. It&#x27;s just what happens, and while it will be harder for you to form new friendships, we all have to work at it. I don&#x27;t know anybody who&#x27;d say &quot;alright, I now have all the friends I desire, I hereby declare a ban on new friendships.&quot;
