>>44381002>>44381063Diving deep into your interests is one of the best way to meet people you'll get along with. Participate in communities about your interests, both online and offline, and try to provide value instead of just consuming. For example in music's case, someone can only listen to music, but they can also participate more directly by creating music, being a music critic, having a blog or youtube channel about music, being a volunteer at music festivals or actually making a career around concerts (like a technician or something), etc. there are plenty of way to participate. The more your participate in a community, the more people will get to know you, and the more interesting it makes you. When you're talking with new people, being someone who went to so and so event or created some music will make you more interesting to talk to than just being another guy who listens to so and so group. When you have multiple interests, you can also connect them in different ways; a simple example is if you like both Pokemon and playing music, you can make covers of pokemon music. Of course, you won't get friends overnight because you posted a cool cover on youtube, but the more you participate, the more you're likely to meet new people AND the more likely they'll find you an interesting person.
When you meet someone new, remember the FORD (Family, Occupation, Recreation, Dreams)- those are four topics that people tend to like talking about, you can ask them questions about it depending on the context, people usually love talking about themselves. Avoid talking about RAPE (Religion, Abortion, Politics, Economics)- those are four subjects that can be sensitive or controversial and can quickly turn into an argument instead of a friendly conversation.
Good luck!
