Join a club. Sailing club, rock climbing club, biking club. You’ll make friends real quick.

    And if you don't want to leave your house a ton, find online hobbies that let you find and meet people, like card games, board games, roleplaying games, etc.

    Granted I had my board gaming friends but when COVID hit and we couldn't play, I made a D&D campaign for them.

    We had never played that together before but everyone was in, and one of the players had never played but had read a ton of novels (Dragonlance, Frizzy [Drizzt!], etc) and was fully committed.

    Now we have all taken turns as the DM, and two of us usually swap out for our own stories.

    Yeah, I do that after my full-time job and keeping myself fed and my apartment clean.

    Oh wait, clubs cost money and I don't have any left.

    Some clubs cost money. Most do not. You can literally go to your local library for a book club which costs nothing. You can join a walking club, a running club, a bird watching club, the list is endless.
