Or just general tips for making friends?
I haven't talked to a lot of new people 1-on-1 since I met my current friend 2-3 years ago, so now it's really hard to. I don't know what to talk about to keep the person interested in talking to me, besides for asking them questions about their interests. I get self conscious because I notice that all I am able to do is ask questions, and then ask more questions based on their response...
Overall I dont really know how to go about talking to people I don't know well, and I would like some tips on how to do better at that?
I also specified online friends in the title because I'm not really allowed to go anywhere, so I don't get to talk to a lot of people irl. General friend making advice is welcome, but if you have online-friend specific advice or experiences to share that is even better.

Those tips are also very useful, thank you! As for the last one I found playing games with people online definitely made making friends a lot easier, but my internet has been too crappy for months to play them and meet people. I need to figure out other online activities that don't take up as much bandwidth as games...
What kinds of online games do you like to play? Some games are more bandwidth-hungry than others.
