It has never ever been easy for me to make friends. Most people don't like me or think I am uninteresting, because of my autistic eccentricities mainly and weak social abilities.
What I do is be willing to accept as friends people of any race, sex, age, background, social status, but I don't want to associate with people who are untrustworthy, trouble making or pushing me into bad things or trying to manipulate or take from me or others. Mainly, I will not be picky about little things because I have very few opportunities to make friends.
Most of my friends are not my age. They are mostly either a lot older or a lot younger. They are male, or female, some are gay, or bi and from various places, not just close by. I don't get to pick when I acquire a friend. My seeking out friends never works. For me personally it just does not work, I always fail at that approach. I prefer people who like similar things, but often they might not like me, just like most people. So, I just accept decent people who feeling like chatting, who want to hang out but are also nice and not using me. Sometimes they end up wanting to be a friend. Usually they are more down to earth people, but not always. I have to be wary for a while until I know someone for a while, maybe a few months or years. The ones I don't trust I walk away from and close them out because manipulators usually keep trying to pry in to take advantage of me.
