How do I make friends /cgl/?

I'm 24 and within the last year lost most of my core friend groups. Some shitty shit went down and I felt like I had to draw some lines with a couple people, and unfortunately that lead to me being ditched by just about everyone. I don't regret any of it, except that it's left me kind of lonely.

I have my boyfriend who couldn't be better, but besides that I really don't have any... Actual friends. I have acquaintances, coworkers, people who like my Facebook posts or whatever, but no one I'm actually close to or spend time with besides him. I thought that I'd be okay with that and I was for a long time, but I'm wanting to get more into cosplay again recently (feeling too old for that is a whole different feel, but) and since he isn't into it much, it's not something I wanna bother him with all the time.

I have no idea how to meet people, though. I didn't have to worry about making friends for a long time and now I'm clueless. I comment on people's posts and try to interact but obviously that shit's pretty shallow and most people aren't into getting to know people like that, I'm sure...

I don't know. I'm not too high maintenance or needy but I'm feeling like a fucking clingy rando trying to reach out to people like this and continually being passed by for people they're actually friends with lol. Not to mention most people active in cosplay groups are like children to me at this point. I don't know. I just feel lost.
