It's hard. I'm having this struggle too because I'm out of school. I would say though that the easiest ways to make friends is to go to places, do things with others that are things you like to do. This way you already have similar interests and can take it from there.
The easiest way to meet people is do what you love.
Just be yourself let people get to know you for YOU. That way you will know they will be a true cause they like and accept you for being yourself. And no matter what you are great.
It's okay dear. Like some others said, try to get involved or just meet people through other things. You seem wonderful so I'm sure anyone would love to be friends with ya!
