Scarcity
Hey , so I'm a 21 years old who just moved out by himself and started living independently ; i used to live with my dad 3 months ago but due to excessive amounts of arguments/fights , i moved out. The issue that I'm having is that i have no friends or someone to hang out with. That's what i need the most ; i focus on work and college(skipped this semester) too much but i need time to relax and enjoy life . How do i go about making new friends ; I live in Queens,NY which is impossible to make friends. I've tried dating apps but realized they were
a waste of time. people tend to be antisocial,rude,so into themselves like i don't understand , especially here in NY. Thank you

I think one of the easiest ways to make friends is through doing things you enjoy. For example if you love to read, research book clubs that meet in your area. If you like being outside, find events in your area that are outside and like minded people will be there. Also if it’s possible, making friends with your co workers. That’s probably where you spend a good amount of your time and it will make the work day more enjoyable and give you an easy way to strike up conversation. Hope that I could help!

My answer is to follow Dragonflymagics answer. I usually give the dame answer to this type of question with a suggestion of how to go about it.
Sit down with pen and paper and make a list of all the things you like to do What ever it may be such as camping , fishing, hunting, cooking or photography. Do you like the theater, reading, movies, music. Rate your interest starting with the one you like best and continue numbering each interest in order of importance and liking. Now take the top five and look in the local newspaper, the penny saver or weekly for clubs for these interests. Your local parks and recreation runs outings to different places that may go along with your interests.
When there is a common interest you have a basis for conversation. Conversations lead to friendships.

The easiest way to make new friends is to find those who have common interests and hobbies. I suggest seeing if there are any clubs/get together's in your area by looking up an online site called Meetups.com You look for whats available in your area.
I have seen meet ups of people who play board games, moms with babes in strollers who walk together, to those interested in yoga, herbal treatments, walking, jogging, dog lovers, horse lovers, and on and on. I just tossed out a few examples and they may not have a meet up in your area but it's worth a look and I have gone before and met and made friends that way.
