I have this issue too. I think there is this thing called Meet up. Where you can do group things. I was suggested that try that to meet people. However due to Covit I ain't doing shit.

adult friendship takes work. you need to invest time in it
go to your local community center or libraries and see if there are things you can volunteer for which will have you interact with people in your community and maybe develop friendships over time
or see if there are events you can take part in. community centers often have notice boards that could be filled with events people want others to take part in even nerdier things like D&D games can be promoted this way by people looking for extra players

the more you involve yourself in your community the greater the odds are you will develop friendships

Just do things that arent games or watching films/TV. Not that theres anything wrong with those, but they dont help you meet people.

Real talk though, when you understand addiction through having it and you become self aware, it's really easy to bond with others through it. But obviously you were joking and it's not anywhere near worth the cons lol.

Making friends isn't hard if you actually want to.

I've made a friend before just by going to buy beer. A guy in the line-up commented about the band shirt I was wearing and we started talking about music. As I was about to leave I asked him if he was busy and wanted to have a few beers. We exchanged numbers and he came over later on that night to hang. We've been friends for like 10+ years now.

Pretty much this.

Say yes when folks invite you places. Even if you maybe dont wanna go. It increases the odds of you being invited again and meeting new people.

I'm about to turn 30 and I wouldn't know how/where to make friends. Would it even be worth it? People are otherwise too occupied with work, family and everything else.

Generally thru family/personal relationships/hobbies.

You can technically make friends at work toowith the caveat that they might not really wanna ever hangout with you outside of the literal office.
