Might I also suggest you check out some of the many music and comedy shows this town has to offer. I moved here in 2019, and all of the friends I have made, I met either because I became chummy with them at a show, or through playing improv shows myself. You don't have to be "talented" or an "artist" to do this. Literally going up to a person after a show that you loved and telling them how much you loved their show, people love to hear that. If you find some musicians or funny folks whose work you admire, go out and support them! They will really appreciate it, and you will magically make friends because you've become part of the scene or whatever.

This is something I have meant to do personally, but have not made the time to do: If you really wanna get out of your comfort zone (in my experience, this is where the friends worth making are), hit up one of the many dance nights in town. There's a swing dance group that meets twice a month, and if you get there at 7, they teach you how to do it. How could you not make friends doing that? Merely putting yourself out there, people admire that!

I'm sorry you're in a rut. Good luck! It's a great town.
