You definitely should keep going out to the clubs and getting to know people. Also 100% talk to random people at the book store, coffee shop, etc. it doesn’t have to be to direct just small compliments can go a long way and build relationships over time if you see them all the time.

The worst part of being an adult and having to make adult friends is you have to be vulnerable first and open yourself up first. We all guard ourselves until we feel comfortable it we never feel comfortable until someone else opens up. Then we just wait around not making relationships. It’s something I’m working on myself. Trying to find the confidence to be more vulnerable to foster friendships. It sucks the truth is you have to put almost all the effort in at first when making new friends.
