how do you make friends?

Lost all my friends under frustrating circumstances that I shouldn't get into on this subreddit. But yeah that aside, I kinda am a weirdo and very socially akward. My old friends kinda don't want me. I don't wanna be all sad and lonely and live a boring ass life you know? But like, at the moment I got no one it's kinda hard. I don't wanna be alone. But I don't know how to make friends. Like all 7th grade I didn't have a single friend and was terrified of talking to people. I only got my current friends by a stroke of luck because this one boy in 8th grade was like determined to be my friend, so I made more friends through him and yeah. (Thank you btw) So anyways enough yap. I'm in 10th grade right now, and I doubt I'm going to get lucky again + I'm still scared to talk to people and initiate shit. How do you make friends? Because I CANNOT be a lonely ass all throughout highschool. Its almost embarrassing you know?I lost my friends in early October, it's been 3 months. I'm going insane here. THANKS <3
