Mostly by joining groups of people in social activities.

E.g. Going to the gym, doing some sports, attending meetups & conferences

You could also just go to a bar, it would work too but it'd be more difficult generally. Shyness also doesn't make it happen in a bar.

Some important factors to form friendships are: spending often time together, overcoming challenges together and having common interests. So look for activities that involve these factors. As you can now see, sports are good at this.

A word of caution though, if you make friends at a bar, all your friends will be people who hang out at bars. May make your life a bit more Norm Peterson than planned.

Haha yeah but you could also meet occasional bar-goers if you only visit the bar in weekends. I've met very different kinds of people in bars.

Well, statistically, the people you are most likely to meet in a bar are the people that are most likely to be in a bar.

Statistically, if you meet ten people in a bar, how many of them are from the group that is "most likely to be in a bar?"
