The best way to make friends is to go out and do stuff you like. While you're at it, you'll often find people with similar interests there too, with whom you can get acquainted with. If you're asking how to make friends on an interpersonal level, well, that's much harder to answer, because socialization is improved through practice, and every person you meet is going to be different. Basically, there is not sure-fire way to make friends.

To not talk about what interests you and act apathetic.

This if you want typical friends.

The easiest way to make friends is online. If you are trying to find friends IRL look for people with similar interests as you. If you aren't very social, start talking to at least one new person a day. If you're still in school try to join a club or something you're interested in. You could also try support groups near your area.
