It seems like most friendships are formed in younger years, like through college or childhood friends, but if you never made friends during those years, how are you supposed to start new ones, it seems harder the older you get...
Also, no, I don't have activities that I enjoy doing that I could join groups for etc Also I don't want to meet friends through Craiglist/internet, I find that creepy.

Your going to have to find away to get out the house, and meet people. I attend seminars at the business centre at city hall yea it's a bit award sometimes when people ask what do you do and I mumble porn star, but eventually they see past that because they kinda see your there just make a new connection and maybe a friend.
then there is joining the Y and attending some excercise class, some places have a parks and recration book that might help.
I know for me it's kinda side sometimes when i look back high school and elementary school i never had friends i got use to it being a loner, never thought I would hide behind a computer to make a living, school is helping a bit but since its the adult day school program i am pretty much stuck to myself a few people i talk to in my class but not much where I get myself attached I still have a pressing need to run home and work since it's my safe spot.
but if you want to make friends your going to go out side the conform zone attending some social club, or a gym, or walking around the park and just saying hi to people.
