People have so much less time as an adult that everything feels rushed. There's little time for down to earth moments where you can forge genuine connections with people. Particularly the most wholesome ones where you hang out with a person one on one and get the purest measure of a person in the dynamic you share. I do definitely understand that feeling.
Maybe try and find some groups with similar passions to yourself and find people you like there? It may be easier to forge connections with common ground to work with.
If nothing else, there's always plenty of people on this site who are decent enough. Online friends are still real friends and there's nothing wrong with having them. If you need someone to talk to, I'm happy to listen and help however I can. 🙂
