People politics?

I have a hard time making friends. For example, people at work get together and hang out outside of work, but I can't seem to make friends with any of them or hang out with them outside of work. It's hard for me to have conversations in general with people, and I try to hide the fact that I don't really go out and do anything or have friends. I've offered people at work to hang out and do something, but the one's I actually do want to hang out with will simply say there busy and I know that's just a polite way of saying they don't want to hang out. I have the same thing at school and any other place that I'm around people. How can I get more people to like me, hang out with and build relationships with? Should I snowboard? Have parties at my place? Make the initiative to make more activities and go to bars and places and invite people along to make it easy for them, be more outgoing? Get rid of my anger issues?

Don't force it just let it happen. You're looking and trying way too hard.
