Just wait a few years, I feel like this nearly-satanic-panic level of sensitivity will pass. Maybe a decade or so.

Oh God I can't wait that long. It's so hard to make friends in North America right now.

IMHO the golden years for making friends are the school years, peaking in High School and College. After that it's a desert compared to that oasis.

That said there's a cheat I've heard of for the terminally lonely extravert: Clubs and Volunteering. I haven't tried either myself as I'm an introvert and near hermit happy with my three super-extravert friends that only need to hear from me a couple times a year.

Then there's the ultimate cheat, get married and have kids. Totally worth it, IMHO.
