There have been recent studies showing that younger people are much more self-absorbed and self-centered than previous generations. Also, younger people tend to be unhappy in life. So I think it would be difficult to find friends to do fun things with.

The older you get the harder it is. When my kids were little we hung out with some of the other parents. I coached soccer for ten years and I hung out a little with some of the other coaches. I used to have a tribe of guys that worked out at the same gym as I did. I knew these guys for years and saw them on a regular basis.
I saw on TV today that 4 out of 5 guys do not have at least one close friend.
The older you get the more difficult it becomes. You are 30, which means that most people your age are getting married or are already and working on having their kids.
Once people get their own lives, they don’t do that stuff anymore. If they do, it’s a very rare occasion.
Maybe try going out alone and meeting people. I know Meet up is an app that allows you to find people with similar interest. Why not start there and see what you can find. You can try adult sports teams, try looking through your social media for interesting people.

Yeah, it gets harder as adults, because we are not in school with so many peers.
Base it around common interests. Find online local meet-up groups.
Start doing the fun things (what sort of thing?). If it's appropriate, take training courses in them, and you'll meet people who are both also interested in them, and at your level of experience.
Do you have any interests like skiing, hiking, volleyball, rock climbing, film, etc? There are often local groups for people with something in common like that. A lot were shut down with covid but may be starting to meet again.
Well, the first place to look is your interests and hobbies. What are they?
I’ve usually met them while working. Other than the five I have from college and high school.
Maybe just go wherever and talk to someone randomly. My brother does it all the time
Simple
Go out and talk to people.
Certainly not a bar.
