As long as you go to gatherings and talk to people, you'll meet a ton of people. While most people are at least somewhat independent - they have to be to leave the comfort of family and friends - you'll meet all kinds - crazy, spiritual, somewhat introverts, extroverts, conservatives, liberals, independent, needy (for us anyway), sweet, harsh, etc. I've known a couple of people to meet and travel together from then on out but that's not the norm. Most people meet, decide to travel together for awhile, separate, maybe come back together, etc. It's a lot like dating, even when you're not dating. You meet, decide if you click or not really quickly, and if you do click, you decide what to do from there.
I will say this - I love people, when I'm in a people mood anyway, but I'm careful who I make friends with. I'm nice to everybody but I make friends slowly and give myself time to watch and learn the person. This lifestyle requires us to live outside societal norms and it seems to attract more than the average number of people with sanity challenges and what looks like personality disorders. I'm leery of anyone who wants to instantly be best friends and do everything together, restricting me from meeting other people or finding my own footing. I'm also leery of anyone who doesn't have any close relationships and blames other people for that or who talks negatively about people in general. I've learned those people are not for me.
Anyway, I'm sure you'll eventually find your tribe. I've met some of the most kick butt, interesting, helpful people who ever existed on the road. That's one of the reasons I love traveling in my vehicle
