I need more, diverse and interesting, friends in Seattle. How do I do that?

How do I do that? I do I make multiple groups of friends? Some board gaming friends, some bar friends, some clubbing friends, other hiking friends, others could be activism friends, some could be comedy friends, of course my Nepali group always with me, oh and I need walking friends too, yes please? And ohh spirituality friends, yoga friends, personal growth, writing friends, fermenting friends, and so forth. I have so many hobbies, so many things I want to do, and stuff I do anyway, but nobody to do it with. One needs community to continue one's interests, explore deeper into a topic. When social support and group is not available, one's climb up the learning chain starts flattening. Human intelligence is 'social' after all, we are much smarter, knowledgeable and driven as a group versus individually. We are much bigger than the sum total of our individual components, and that's true for each and every single hobby and interest I have listed above.

So friend groups can only make our hobbies more focused, fun and expansive. Where might one search for them? One way to think about it is this: what would be the most wrong way to find friends and make groups? The answer is to stay at home forever and always, never leave it, never invite anybody, set ridiculous expectations that one is never able to meet, and roll up that self-hate treadmill. One of the best ways to limit one's abilities interests and motivations.

We must explore, the jungle is wild, but not going out there doesn't make one more civil. It only puts greater pressure, puts the single animal in greater danger. There's safety in number, there's solace, there's company. Let's go. There.
