How do you guys go about making new lifelong friends?

Is it too late to make lifelong friends after your mid 20's?

Ive had to let go of pretty much all my friends because they were either toxic or were involved in negative shit or spend too much time judging others, constantly complaining just not good company except for just hanging and partying for example.

I feel like I'm an odd breed and I'm kinda incompatible with many people although I am kind and fairly free from the general vibe of people nowadays and the construct and matrix most live in.

I'm by no means unlikable, I'm a good friend I'm good to people, I'm not too involved in gossip and talking shit, but being too carefree and not part of the in crowd in that way makes me stand out and people do not like that and may find me odd since I feel I'm too real for most, I'm always joyful and never angry or constantly talking about my problems, always a good listener and willing to give advice to the best of my ability to whoever needs it etc.

So now I've let go of pretty much everyone and only good family is left.

Is it too late for lifelong friendships? How do I go about making new ones?
