>Be somewhere where people congregate repeatedly. Regular at a pub, bouldering gym, arts meetup. Really anything where you'll see the same people consistently.

Agreed. If you're introverted, find a "club" or sport that you enjoy and just start participating. You automatically become part of the circle, in my experience.

i can confirm that. it happened to me. went to a session to play irish folk. barely talked to anybody. every week i was just there to play. but after a few months everyone, including me was invited to a birthday party. part of the circle...
