How do you make friends in a new city? (no job or school)

Stop being a neet and get a job or go to school

I do freelance work at home occasionally, that's my income, I mean I'm not working most of the time.

Go somewhere were your forced to meet people, pick the most comfortable place/situation you can think of, man up, DO it.

Will it be akward, might it feel futile and pointless?
Yes, but think about it a little bit more realistically.

I asume that you live in decent size city - think about the probability of your city having people you could get along with/people just like you.

Chances are theres quite alot of people who fit you.

You might have to look abit harder if your a freak but still entirely possible, probable and feasible if you do the necessary work.

That should serve as both motivation and realistic expectations about social interaction.

What kind of places are you forced to meet people?

Don't look for friends. Look for things to get you out of the house.

Join a gym. Join a club. Take a non-academic class (cooking, auto repair, Chinese) at a CC. Do volunteer work. Go to shows/concerts/galleries. Hang out at the comic book store.

You'll be among people doing the same thing, so some chat will be easy and natural.

That's how friends happen.

Places were people congregate?
Like a local soccer-team, church, crackhouse, voluntary non-profit work, boardgame torunaments, LAN-parties, political parties, AA-meetings

Posted this response in a similar thread a few days ago.

When I moved to a new city to work, my gf of 3 years dumped me and I was for the first time completely alone. What I did was go to raves (big city) and clubs alone, and I'd dance, smile, make conversation and meet someone like that every night. Get their number, get their facebook, be a likable guy and people invite you to hangouts/house parties/nights out. After that you just expand your friend network until you meet someone you really really like for casual day hangouts like coffee or a drink or whatever really.

3 months ago I had nobody but now I have to choose between 3-4-5 people calling me to ask if I'm going with them to event XYZ.
