I swear, every time I try to make friends, it doesn’t go how I expect to and I lose all the effort I put in as they leave for circumstances outside my control, and i’m damn tired tbh :(

    That’s really tough, I’m sorry. I guess the solution in that case is to try to find a sustainable environment that you don’t have to leave. High school and other educational environments are inherently time limited. What might be better is some kind of club or group outside of a school or work context that you might need to move on from. Idk what you’re into - examples of that kind of thing for me have been the DSA, Less Wrong meetup groups, weekly ultimate frisbee meetups, that sort of thing. Meetup.com is a good resource if you want to browse options. A regular D&D group would certainly be a good idea, the difficulty is just getting that going in the first place - especially hard if you’re not coming to it with a deep friend bench.
