How do you make new friends an adult?

I recently just moved back to my home town, where I had zero friends before I left, and I am really struggling with loneliness. It's not because I'm not trying to be social, but everyone always seems to shut me down whenever I try here.
I don't most days. If I am feeling social I just strike up a conversation and keep it going even if its one sided. Sometimes its not, rare occasions though. Then I go home afterward and remember why I stick to talking to my pets. 馃槀

Join a club, or a recreational sports league.

@lauriethecolourful oddly enough, sometimes it鈥檚 just a hometown thing.
Same way for me actually
@SW-User It's so strange. Unfortunately, I'm stuck here for a while, so I have to try to find some people with common interests. :/

@lauriethecolourful probably the best idea!!

Clubs, volunteer gigs, societies, and groups are the road to friendships as an adult in my experience.

Pretend to be foreign ?
@Brianthesnail Well, I do have a different accent. :D

Look for other outsiders
They will be grateful to find friends

The ones who have always lived there lack motivation 馃槉
