Honestly, you don’t even have to be all that outgoing for it. I made some awesome friends simply by going to the same restaurant every week for a year. I wasn’t even looking for friends, I just simply started making small talk each day.

Definitely look for local activities. In Stamford there’s a dodgeball tournament for 21+ people. It’s usually a great way to meet new people. My girlfriend also used bumble at one point to meet new friends. I know it’s hard, even I find it difficult to hang out with people. But I try and make friends from places I visit often
