Does anyone have experience making friends in a new city?

Does anyone know how to make friends in a new city? Currently not in college and I work remotely too + not a very physical person so I'm at a loss for how to start.

Just thought I'd ask here 😅

If you have any interests, you can probably find a group in the city that welcomes people. It could be a church, a charity, an exercise group, tree huggers, or any volunteer group.

@exexec Thanks! Appreciate this! I've tried church and volunteering but I haven't really made any close connections or friends. Seems like everyone wanted to go their separate ways immediately after. In terms of church it seems quite forced on my end. Although....I'm new to those circles, so I'll keep trying.

@InferenceEngine Finding a small group is the key. Some churches have them, some don't.

@exexec Any tips on getting into the small group. I realize that sounds a bit weird and invasive lol
I just see these groups of close friends and I can't help but feel envious/want to be a part of it.
