New friends bring new questions. New questions bring a new you.

Whoever you spend time with carries their own topics into the room, and they raise questions you would not have asked. That is most of what changes in a new circle: not your personality but the subjects that get raised near you. Curiosity is contagious in a way that advice is not. Who you talk to sets what you wonder about.

Sit with someone outside your usual group this week and ask what they are into right now. Let them talk longer than feels normal. Notice which of their questions stays in your head afterward, and follow that one.
