Mid life? I'm still in uni and my offline friend group is pretty much just my girlfriend's friends who are into tech. Tbf that's mostly down to me being too introverted to talk to anyone though.
The only IRL friend I have is one that I met in elementary school. Not on the best of terms but we were somewhat similar kind of weird. Also very introverted but also anxious. I have no idea how people make friends and where to start.
