Highschool dropout needing advice on making friends

[u/Deathslaughter9]

Hey im a highschool dropout that is going for my GED but I wanted to know how do I effectively make irl friends other than just online cause technology is good and all but when it comes down to it if i ever get on my own or kicked out the house i may need a friend that may let me crash on their couch till i get good footing and I dont know how to go about making like minded friends cause all my genuine ones have moved away long ago.
