If your goal is to make friends and your current way isn't working, you will have to force yourself to change. There just isn't any other way.
Friends don't fall from the sky. You have to put in time and effort in any type of human relationship. That is just how things are.
He didn't say his goal was to make friends. I'm the same way, and I'm happier than I've ever been putting my efforts into myself instead of other people.
