Seriously, it's impossible

What about 40's?
Tell me about it. Wait until you are in your mid fourtiesb nd you feel like a creep trying to interact with people around you... That's why we have Internet communities! *Cries in front of the phone screen
I feel that. Trying to make friends online and realizing everyone on the other side is typicallu in their 20s, and while you can enjoy the same things, it's hard to relate to each other. We're just not in the same place in life. Joined a discord called "Old Folks" and it's still people aged 20-30.
Yeah, it's like Milfs who are actually 35 yo...
It works. Ol' Clootie's a dab hand at 21!

You have to go where people are to make friends.
Join an amateur billiards team(you don't have to be good. Most teams actually need lower skilled players in APA).
Go to local shows/concerts/events/street fairs/farmers markets
Elevate a work friend or an acquaintance to a real friend by inviting them out to something you've both talked about.
You think THAT'S hard? Try it as a childless 40yo with ADHD and social anxiety! I'd be SO fucked if I didn't already have friends 😂
