I think it depends on the personality and also the traits that one person have. And that is why they seem like they get difficulties to make friends. As an example, when anyone is introverted, they feel very anxious to talk to new people or strangers. So when they fail to contact with strangers, there are a lot of chance of them to make new friends. Another point is the personality. Some people like to be reserved, talk less or do not initiate any speech by their own. So as a result, people find them moody and sometimes ignore them. At that point, they also fail to make new friends. I think these are the two things that affects how people make new friends. But I think when the social battery is on and people have a good mood, they can make new friends. But typically, they find it difficult when their mood is off and also their personality or the traits that they have.
