How the hell people make friends????

My friend count is really low. If I take away family and boyfriend, the number is 0. ZERO. So yeah, that leaves me with mom, sister and boyfriend on my circle of friends.

I have college and work colleagues, but nothing more than that.

Anyhow, my question is: how the fuck are people supposed to make friends????
For instance, I'm shy and a introvert, so I get intimidated when I want to join a conversation about a topic of my interest. And also I feel like if I join, I might be interrupting or invading an existing group of friends.

I recently realized that I need to make friends urgently. Occasionally I feel alone, but the future might be even scarier if I stay like this. What will happen if my bf and I break up? What will be like when I move out of my mom's house?

What i like to do is listen and respond when a group of ppl have a question I may know the answer to or quickly giving my two cents abt a topic I know abt and not going into full blown conversation. These little interactions build up into friendships (...... reply

Get out of your comfort zone. Being passive doesn’t get you shit. My little sister is just like you and even if I haven’t experienced it first hand, I get it. What I’ve noticed with people with close friends and/or large friend groups is that they’re usually established when they were young and in kindergarten or high school or whatever. Me...... reply

I'm pretty much introverted myself so when I attended college on the very first day when we were introducing each other in the department among ourselves I let my classmates know that, I'm not really good at talking and starting convos specially in a complete new environment with no faces known. They were like it's okay chill we will make sure you'...... reply
