Yes, but that’s still very general. You say you’ve had lots of different types of people as friends, but from what you say those friendships have ended, or drifted, in part due to different life stages. What do you want from friends now? Who are you as a friend now?
I’ve moved around a lot, and have had to be pro-active about making friends from scratch, which means I have to look around for situations in which I am likely to encounter the kind of people I like in a new place. The kind of people I like having round me are often artists/writers/musicians, have creative jobs in the arts or associated fields, are humanities academics, or work in publishing or architecture. They’re likely to have lived outside their home country, and to be serious readers and/or interested in music and art, and to lead or have led relatively unconventional lives, and they like talking.
Where I live now, I met new friends in an art gallery, at an opera relay in the cinema, at various arts festivals, via work (university), and my son’s friends’ parents from his primary. The architect who worked on our house (bought as a wreck) has become a close friend. Obviously I have longdistance friendships too, but I have had to put myself out there.
Obviously you can be unlucky. Someone’s there’s just no one of your preferred type in the vicinity. The second last place I lived was like that, and apart from friends made at work, and older friends visiting from a distance, it was pretty solitary. It contributed to our move.
I’m banging on about my own friendships not to say ‘See! Do it like me!’ but to encourage you to think more specifically about what you want, because it sounds as if being generally friendly isn’t working for you for whatever reason.
