I've made more friends in my 30s than I have in any decade prior, surprisingly. How? Through Yoga. Making friends was not my goal whatsoever. Just started practising daily a few years ago because it spoke to me. Found a good studio (one that teaches real yoga and not just aerobics) and started helping out there for free (in exchange for unlimited classes). I met a lot of the teachers and managers that way. After about a year or so you start to recognize a lot of faces... and it turns out that a lot of people who regularly go to yoga classes (where they constantly talk about being kind to yourself, others, and the planet) are incredible people. I have met some real assholes too, don't get me wrong. You just disregard them and carry on. I am sure this is possible with anything that's open to the public and encourages daily participation, like religion or fitness centers, etc. However, I spent years attending a fitness gym prior to this and never met a single decent human being I would want to spend time with. Most of the "friends" I used to go to the gym with I don't even talk to anymore. Yoga classes around me have been canceled/in lockdown for the past few months, but I still talk to my yoga buddies and go for walks with them almost every single day. It's great! I encourage you to give it a shot!
