I just still have the same friends from highschool, we are still close we even went to Niagara together this summer. Hell I'm still close friends with someone I've known since Grade 1.
The new friends I've made I have made through putting myself in communities for things that I enjoy and just being myself. Thats how I met my premier team and all my new friends through valorant and the TMV discord server.
I guess just do that but real life.
