I Need New Friends

I feel that it is time to make new friends as i find myself wanting to branch off from the ones that i still keep in touch with. I moved out of my home state 6 years ago and have been living my own independent life away from the friends i grew up with for years... Just recently i decided to help an old friend (from out of state) who was down on his luck and let him live in my house for a low monthly rent. He has been living with me for 2 months and will be leaving soon, unfortunately he has Bi polar and takes a lot of meds, has constant up and down mood swings which are very unpredictable. On top of that he has had a couple manic episodes when we have went out in public which ended in my belongings being broken and just a whole lot of embarrassment. Its not completely his fault as bi polar is a sickness which I understand. But i cant deal with the behavior swings, and it seems like he doesnt care about anyone but himself and doesnt seem to appreciate anything very much, i feel a little disrespected honestly. Another friend of mine has just recently visited me and we also known each other for years, but as long as i known him hes always been cheap as hell complaining to the last dollar and penny for EVERY purchase he makes. i been trying to show both of them around but it seems like they are never satisfied. Culture may play a part as they both are jewish who grew up wealthy and i am filipino. I find myself growing apart from these two friends and honestly feel that i need new friends. Both of them are good people at the end of the day but i just think we dont have much in common anymore..
