I think you need to change perspective on how you view friends and good experiences. In college a good experience is going out with friends and meeting some hot girl/guy and that’s a pinnacle of college. As an adult that changes and you should embrace it.

Make new memories with new friends. I’ve been hanging out with random dads from our daycare that I’ve been meeting at kids birthday parties. Chances are they’re just normal people that are looking to make new friends too.

I always thought a good friendship was one where you could go years without seeing someone and then just jump right into it. Less pressure on friends and more on just enjoying the people and world that is currently around you.
