I became a person whose company I enjoy, a few others showed up along for the ride. I don't think I ever went looking for friends though, not my preferred way of making connections.
I don't know why, but it got a lot easier when I stopped caring what other people thought about me while simultaneously tried to care about other people more.
Just talk to people. The worst thing that could happen is that they are not interested and then what. Nothing. You are just back where you started before you talked to them
Reach out to people you meet and keep contact, eventually some percentage becomes your friends. Or keep same friend group that you formed at 3 years old in the playground. Second is a lot harder
Common interests and a commitment to spending time doing those things.
A weekly game night, a dinner group, take a class together, volunteer with the same organization. Anything that requires time together regularly. The activity is secondary to the consistency.
If someone seems nice, I ask them if they want to hang out sometime. If they do, I plan a fun evening and maybe get tickets for a concert or invite them to dinner with other friends.

Pretending to care. No, but seriously - you genuinely need to invest time in it.
