<human>: Give me the gist of the text in a nutshell

I'm sure other people have gone through this....right?

I [22F] graduated with my BS in June and proceeded to move back to my home state and move in with my (previously LD) SO [28M] in the house he just bought. I was actually happy/non-stressed for the first time in a long time, but am starting to realize that my *own* personal life is lacking. 

I work in an office in an empty building. I even have a window, but it's lonely as fuck. No collaboration, just the occasional meeting with my boss.  I come home every night to chill with my SO and kitten, which is great, and I do love both a lot. However, I really just miss all my female friends. I have a bit of a strange personality, and I'm not particularly outgoing, so I tend to stick with a few, very close friends. My best friend from high school is doing her last year of undergrad across the country, and my three best friends from college are scattered around the US/abroad. We still talk and skype, but we all know that's not the same thing as having someone to hang out and drink wine and play video games with on a Friday night.

I also have a history of making terrible first impressions. Clearly not on purpose, but I think my sense of humor can come off as dry/no one gets my jokes until you get to know me. Plus I am relatively uncomfortable in large groups (just not the type of person to be the center of the party). 

I am also my SO's only source of socialization -- all of his friends have gone down the married/kids route and have faded out of the picture, despite him trying to keep in contact with one another. We're both sad about not really having external friends. 

How do you make friends in a new place? Other introverts out there, where do I find you? Is there a way for my to adjust the way I approach new people and try to make friends? I'm just not the kind of person who hangs out at a bar, and I feel like that's the place the majority of people my age go to hang out.
<bot>: Moved to a new(/old) place after graduation, feeling lost and lonely without a set place to make friends. Any advice?
