Would you like to learn something? Take a workshop or interest class, people generally would talk to you a little bit before and after the sessions. There are structured interactions in the process, which is not difficult to deal with.
Some people invited me to take a class in making mosaic stained glass, ceramics, cakes or handcrafted beers. Many of them are interesting. I learned Tai Chi and yoga in the past. It’s good to have regular meeting.
