How I did it: after thinking i was alone in many ways.... i went out a lot- with anyone and everyone- got drunk a few times and very depressed. i felt empty. i got this stage out of my system. next step was never saying no to anything. i meet as many people as i could. that was good for a while too.......when invited to go on trips i did that as well. saved and saved if it meant i could have experiences with these people to know them better. i was tired that i couldnt find many people i clicked with- i was continually judging people for their friend potential and kept pushing old 'boring' friends away. evenutally i got tired of being negative and critizing myself all the time and i just stopped- had a rest and still made time for those people who made time for me- in the end some how it all came together- just be positive- and dont moan to others or complain about this or that...eventually you will meet people you can be yourself with and do all that stuff. be patient and learn to be your own best friend too. value yourself and realize every friend has a good thing to offer

Lessons & tips: dont critize others- they will see through you
if you are doing this goal to find life friends- be loyal, KIND, loving, carefree. try to make others feel at ease- stop thinking everything is about yourself
- care for yourself- this means standing up for yourself as well- look after your apperance (as it will also give you confidence- try exercising- or whatever works)
dont just always do the same things with these new friends- mix it up
-try getting drunk with someone-make it a happy experience- its always fun
-just realise your best friend is yourself

Resources: if you are like me and cant be bothered with facebook you are going to have to do it the good old fashioned way:
people you know-meeting friends through them
- uni
-work....if your studying and dont really care about your job- get a new job at a place your interested in...maybe some one their shares the same interests. i.e if you skate- get a job in a skating store (dumb example- but anyway)
-get drunk with people you barely know (only if its safe please) just enjoy yourself
