  Basically this. Pick something that sounds even moderately interesting, keep going to it, and even when it feels like you still aren't making friends keep going. I had a similar struggle in college when I was trying to break out of my normal social group. I joined the school's ACM club, kept going to events, hung out in the lounge, and after months I finally started making some friends I'd see out of the context of the club. Keep in mind that making new friends has similarities to dating, too much desperation is a turn off. Just hang out and keep coming back. If you aren't a creep, you'll make friends.
