Re: FRIENDS!
When I moved away for my job, I first only had contact with colleagues, and that really wasn't enough. So I looked around what activities etc were offered, and decided to take language classes - Japanese, because that's the easiest way to connect to local anime/manga/cosplay fans. Worked like a charm, and through the people I met there I found the LARP and Pen & Paper RPG groups, and because there's a huge overlap I also found the local goths.
Within a couple of months I had met about 200 new people, and I had closer relationships with ca. 25 of them, and of those two have stayed my closest and dearest friends for almost twenty years now.
What also helped was pinning nerdy patches to my bag and letting other people approach me. About twelve years ago I had the Slytherin badge on my bag, and one day two of the new/younger colleagues asked me if I liked the books and if I knew about fanfiction. That's how I got introduced to their circle of friends and met the local slash community.
So, go do things you like and talk to other people. And even if the first person is not your BFF right away, let them take you to meet their friends, and maybe someone of those will connect more with you. Good luck!
