Take up a hobby that requires you to be at another location with other people, whether that's writing in a coffee shop, reading at the library, playing board games at a board game cafe, etc. It seems blatantly obvious as a sentence, but to meet new people you need to meet new people! On top of this, we tend to naturally form bonds with people we routinely spend time with, as long as they're not awful, so having a reason to be routinely at the same locations as other people makes it that much more likely you'll form bonds.

Good luck, Internet Person, and don't forget to let who you are shine through!
