Bribe someone to be your friend? Just kidding. That's a pretty tough situation to be in. You can try going to coffee shops and talking to people. Getting a job would be a massive help. If you have an environment where you are around one person for a long time eventually you'll become friends. And once you have one friend that's all you need to get the ball rolling

several ways. pick a hobby and go to meetup.com just search all the categories and go. if you for any raeson think that you just wouldnt meet anyone there, YOU are the problem. you have to go out. dont dismiss an option until you go and hangout.
after that, hobby shops. what do you like? video games? books? movies? tv shows? board games? comics? guns? fishing supplies? pick something, then go to a store that sells that. wait in an aisle that particularly interests oyu, then wait. someone comes in, strike up conversation. not just people who look like friend material. anyone. cuz the more you talk to strangers, the more you get used to talking to strangers, and it will make talking to the people that do look like friend material easier.
conversations are simple
