i struggle a lot with making friends and it’s getting concerning for my family, i also have the frustration of wanting to do stuff but it would look weird without someone, but i really want a friend that i can go out with because the only friend that i have isn’t available most times and is my sisters ex which is weird so he can’t come over. how do i make new friends (joining clubs/gym/sports is difficult because i have to have leg surgery which is stopping me from doing that sort of stuff)

Get a dog, that makes it easier for people to approach you at things like parks
sorry, i can’t really help you with the friends thing, i was a member of a gym for about 6 years and never once started a conversation with anyone
How old are you? By a certain age, people aren’t looking to make new friends because they don’t have the time for them.
Do you have a personality? You gotta give people something to work with and be pleasant to be around
Do you have interests/hobbies that people can meet you with in the middle? This is where you meet people and/or have topics to talk about.
What are your interests? There are all kinds of clubs and MeetUps.
Try Discord, some city based ones have events to meet people.
