MODERATORS
It's definitely harder after college, but not impossible. You're just going to have to put in a bit of effort. The two best recommendations I can make are:
getting involved in some kind of hobby that's either inherently social (board games, team sports, etc.) or puts you together in the same place with other hobbyists (I've done a lot of socializing at rock climbing gyms, despite it technically being a solo thing)
working a job that forces you to socialize in small doses (hospitality, customer service, etc). Being thrust into micro interactions dozens of times a day makes it a lot easier to approach people in casual settings.
