How do you make new friends

Question

I have a really close friend group, but I like to go out and experience things like travelling, food, shopping, nights out etc etc. My friends are all so lazy and everytime we plan something, like going out to a nice restaurant, going partying, one of them just cancels the whole thing and we end up just doing nothing and hanging at their house for a couple hours. I wish this was a one time thing but this has happened every single plan we’ve made. I’m the only one who stands up against it and i keep trying but no one changes or makes the effort or takes acknowledgement of my dissatisfaction, and the others just do whatever goes, they have like almost no backbone. It’s really getting to me.

I have other friends but they live far away so we only meet every so often. When I meet new people, I get on well with them but I never seem to get friendly enough to where we plan get togethers outside of where we met (wether that be sports clubs or courses we are both involved in) I just don’t know how to get closer to people. And I don’t know what to do with my friends who just wont do anything.
