There's a wide variety of clubs, find something to do with an interest of yours, or even just join to do something you'd like to try.
There's no shame in it though, at all. There's not nearly enough mingling among adults today, because we live such segregated lives without much crossover with the same people. Often we don't really even know our neighbors on a personal level these days. Anybody do 'block parties' still?
I find you really have to step out and create those social opportunities by hosting small events, and just encouraging the few good friends you have to do something regularly, then get them to invite their new friends, and keep expanding that way.
If someone in this day and age could figure out a good way to help people come together and mingle more, or create a workshop for friending as an adult 101 they'd make a killing off all the millenial hermits with no book on how to do this #### in the digital age.
Way back when, people HAD to physically come together for everything. Now it's "we don't work/school together any more? Well I'll wish you a happy birthday once a year on social media and that'll still qualify us as friends I guess."
Sad times for human connectivity.
