For me, the easiest way to make friends is to start talking to people and introducing myself whenever I'm in a group of people I don't know. I used to have a very small, close group of friends that I'd known for a long time, but now I have started making a lot more friends in new places.

I would recommend putting yourself in group situations, if you don't already find yourself in many, which will give you many more opportunities to meet people and make friends. For instance, I tried rock climbing and am now very interested in it. I climb a lot at the rock wall near me, and have become fast friends with a lot of other climbers there. It is always easy to make friends in groups because you know you have something in common with everyone else.

Since you love learning and reading, maybe you could join a local book club or personal development group. That way you'll meet lots of people with similar interests, and have something to talk about and build a friendship from.
