I need new hobbies

Hi fellow people,

Lately I have this dread or maybe existential crisis, that I'm not doing enough in my life. I'm doing my masters, I work part-time and sometimes in my spare time I arts and crafts, I don't really know how else to say it (I paint, I do embroidery, I do a bit of bead-work, I stitch). Additionally, I love gardening and have a lot of house plants. I also binge-watch shows and I read sometimes. These are fun, and I do enjoy creating or doing stuff lol. But I recently moved to a new city and I have a few friends, none of which are the "lets catch a bite or let's explore the city" type. So some weekends I just sit alone at home, crafting. But I would really love to explore the city or make new friends. I just don't know how, and I'm feeling stuck. I'm not exactly the most extroverted type and socializing can feel draining.

But I'm tired of feeling this way and I need to do more. The main goal would be to immerse myself in activities, surrounded by people, but also not something super expensive. The side quest would be making new friends. Any suggestions? I'm open
