That’s tricky. When I look at most of my recent friends, they’re almost always work friends or friends of a friend/spouse etc.

Starting from scratch must be hard. I don’t know if bars are the only solution. Gym friends, maybe trying to go on some dates etc. could work.

If you are 100% work from home why do you choose to work in a place where you have no friends?

yes, GYM friends, now you're talking.

bars, gyms, what else are super easy and common?

libraries are out because you're supposed to be quiet.

Book stores. I’ve met people there. Pretty easy to ask what someone is reading or which author they love.

Concerts could be another one.

Btw these are all places where I’ve met girls, but it’s probably just as easy to make friends there.
