I recently went to a yoga society meeting at my university to meet the group and potentially make new friends. I was definitely more awkward than I usually am without my friends. I noticed more people came on their own, and before I knew it this guy struck up a conversation with me, said he recognised me from classes, shook my hand. Next thing I know we were flirting playfully! All it took was a few minutes out of my comfort zone, crazy!

If you're in your city for school or work, it's easy to get into conversation with someone. The good old water cooler talk can lead to friendships. If you're more introverted all i can say is try to step out of your comfort zone. Even if it's hard, a small thing can have huge effects.
Maybe if you have a specific hobby, like a sport, you could join a club or workshop. You'll definitely meet like minded people every where.

ive met some wonderful people by just showing up to an event of some kind by myself and simply approaching people. a lot of the time you dont even need to approach someone because something happens nearby that you both can bond over. i. e. i met a very kind couple at a concert bc some guy next to me was being weird and rowdy, and they stepped in to shield me! how nice! and we still keep up with eachother.
obviously, you have to keep your wits about you and make sure someone you do know knows where you are, but really what im getting at is this:
simply by being around people, you will meet people. just have fun with it and be bold, and when you DO meet people, you have to keep up the effort in following up a couple times to keep the conversation flowing. 🦋

i totally relate to the struggles of being a socially awkward person in this age - something that has really helped me is stepping out of my comfort person to be the more extroverted person - eg. starting a conversation with someone by complimenting their outfit or asking them to go to an event/cafe even if you don't know them that well
i spent so long waiting for someone to come up to me and initiate a conversation/friendship and i've realised that a lot of feel the same way that i do so the only solution is to do the scary thing and make the first move
