How I did it: I wanted to find people who were like me so that I could relate, but actually, after failing, Ive come to realise that actually all I wanted all along were some nice, genuinely nice, people to call my friends.
Don't get me wrong, I have friends, but as Ive changed I can no longer relate to them, I thought i wanted people I could do my thing with, but at the end of the day doing someone elses idea of fun is a brilliant way to open up your world. Some people have drifted off, and Ive drifted the other way and I was sad but you know what? If theres not enough to keep you interested then there is no point in forcing it. We all have those people we can call at 4am because everythings fallen apart, and now I have new people who do different things to me and it makes me a richer person!! Go make friends with someone new, you never know what youre missing and if you dont try you'll never find out either :)

Lessons & tips: Its not easy to make new friends, dont think about it too much, at worst it can only be a let down, in which case put it down to experience and go for it again!!  Chances are everyone finds it hard at sometime, so bite the bullet and say hi to someone new!!
