How do we make friends as adults?

I work from home, finished up grad school and never made a friend in college. I'm feeling lonely and unfortunately, being chronically online doesn't help. I'm far past my social anxiety and am at a point where I don't really care much for what people think, which actually doesn't seem to be helping me to make friends either.

I'm finding that my lack of good boundaries is making having close friends very difficult. We all have problems right? My typical inclination as an engineer is to try and fix things. With people that is difficult. Most problems people have are monetary. Some are addiction or health related. We can only do so much. Any more and we become part of the problem I guess. Perhaps it is better for someone like me to be alone. That's why i just asked on here what of three options is worse.
