How do I connect with people?
"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"
I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.
The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.
Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Stare them in the eyes, be empathetic, and listen.
Best way is probably to listen to them and ask them questions. So if you meet someone and they say, "My favorite band is Goo Goo Dolls." Instead of replying with "Oh cool." you say "Oh yeah, great band. I just say were playing at XYZ did you catch the show? I heard it was awesome." and go from there

Find common things to talk about, then start asking about them and they'll do the same to you

How to Win Friends and Influence People is a good read.
Also, in addition to what other people here have said, if you can take a genuine interest in them, it helps.
Men especially tend to form friendships based on common interests.

Welp... I actually have a big problem about that, time ago something happened in my life, I'm not gonna give details about it, and I lost 90% of my friends, the ones that remained are "friends", not the true kind of friends where 1 it's more than enough, but yea... How would you deal with that situation?

For starters, you need to like people, at least some of them.
You will never be able to connect with people who sense that you don't like them.
Practice with people you like. You can then project some warmth and/or friendly vibe that they can pick up on.

Yea I don't like them that much. I've been reading a lot of red pill stuff. It basically tells me not to like them.

I can be a cynic too sometimes, but I still know some good, cool people that I genuinely like.
I'm sure you can find at least one decent person (male or female) in your life that you can chat with. Then you'll start to see the good in people and find it a little easier to connect.
"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

You have two ears but only one mouth. Use them accordingly.

On the Friday afternoon, you wander into your local Starbucks. You order your coffee, and then find the quiet nerdy corner, where all the loners are sitting reading or studying something on their laptop. Now set up shop mid a couple of beauties. Ignore them. Open up your laptop, and start reading. You must have something to be genuinely engrossed with here in order to take your mind off these lovlies to your left and right.
After half an hour, choose the woman you want to talk to. Move to a closer spot when a seat becomes available. Straight away, as you're setting up, open the conversation... anything, just be nonchalant and relaxed. Talk for say 20 minutes. Get the number. Keep talking for another five minutes. Leave... she has work to do. Text two and a half hours later. A bit of back and forth, and you have the date secured for Sunday [Saturday you will be a little hungover from a few beers at your local bar]. Good luck~~

There's an old saying: "Every man is my superior, in that I may learn something from him". I guess that doesn't sound very "alpha", but it's true.
Everyone knows something that you don't, or has a way about them that you can learn from. If you look at it that way, and try to discover that, it might help increase your interest in other people.
