They said "Great minds think alike" or "Birds of a feather flock together", my idea is to first make yourself a very interesting person. ;)

And don't forget to make yourself comfortable to banter and have small talks, sometimes people complain about how hard it is to make new friends, meanwhile they are super shy, not sure how they can find one tbh :(

I'm working on it, but part of the motivation for the question is wanting to find people to get ideas / guidance / friendship from who are more interesting than myself.

Kind of an “If you're the most interesting person in the room, you're in the wrong room.” vibe.

Ah, in this case you can find your friends in the places you like. For example you like an outdoor setting, then you should go to the park. The same applies when you come to the reading book club if you're a bookworm (like me) :">
