How to meet new people in a new city?

I have the same struggle. Like I can meet someone occasionally and really hit it off but it goes nowhere or it stays surface level, seeming like trying to find time to meet up is a burden for them. But lately I’ve struggled to meet anyone or even find places to meet people. It seems like anywhere I go that’s supposed to be social, people bring their friends with them or are friends already and act annoyed if anyone new tries to talk to them.

Ughhh the worst I’ve moved around a lot my whole life,, but I can’t rlly help ppl kinda always jus talked to me even tho I was quite,, but be open nd urself nd u’ll find the right ppl

It helps to be around people first

Go to a public library near you, they should have a community board somewhere, and you can find clubs that way. So then you start going to clubs and hangin around people with same interests, next thing ya know,, you got a friend or two

I have the same issue but I’m trying to use apps to help meet people around where I live but I deleted the apps because of all the scammers on em so I’m back at square one trying to meet people

Just try to be open and kind usually it's able to help at least a little
