come up with a go-to question that someone you would like to be friends with would like to answer. in my case, that is either “What do you know about the Spinosaurus?” or “Do you believe in God, if so, why?” for me, it someone is interested in answering either of those questions they have passed the vibe check and it opens a lively conversation that can nicely progress into getting to know them. if you have a go-to question it can serve as a great ice-breaker in any social situation

go to places where people share your interests, like clubs, local events, or online communities on reddit, discord, etc. i think its helpful to have some reason to regularly meet with the same people, and have something in common with them. and dont be afraid to say “hey, how are you” to whoever you can
