It's sad how many men don't have friends outside of family and dates.
If that's you, please get friends. If you don't know how, find a hobby where you're likely to interact with other people, and interact with them. Even if it's just smalltalk, that's a start.
No, the solution is to find a hobby you can enjoy with other people in order to find opportunities to make friends.
This year, I moved to a new city, got a high-paying job, and have been engaging in hobbies such as writing, karaoke, and I'm trying to learn dnd. No local friends yet, but I'll keep at it.
Last year and before, I had a low-paying job that kept me constantly stressed. I went home, played video games with people online, and otherwise wasted my time. My only irl friends were people I worked with and people I knew from high school. I think the advice about hobbies is good. But fighting through depression to a place where you can spend time socializing isn't always as easy as "get hobbies," especially when you're poor.
