The secret is to be valuable. Friendships are an exchange of value over time, building something called trust. You can trust someone to give you that value over and over as a friend. If you have nothing valuable to give, it'll be nigh impossible to make meaningful relationships. It takes more than just friendliness or being polite. You have to share a common interest (VR is a good one! But everyone else does too, so you have to stand out some other way), political views, emotional support, monetary support, and the biggest one of all is access to other relationships. That last one is the most important one. It's hard to make that first real good friend, but when you do, it's all downhill from there. Find what makes you valuable and worth it to others.
