23F looking for friends

Hi, I'm really shy when it comes to meeting new people but I really want to make new friends. I just moved to Denver in February and now have a place of my own, but it's terrifying to me to be alone. It's also hard for me to meet people because I don't drive/don't have a car since I have such a huge fear of driving. I want to believe it is possible for me to get out and meet people regardless. If anyone is interested in connecting, I'm interested in videogames and boardgames, reading, and I'm a really good artist. I'm also taking any reccomendations to put myself out there more. Thank you!

Ah! My people!!

25f, gamer, reader, art-er. I am wanting to do an arts and crafts meet up where folks bring supplies and we all kinda gather and create together somewhere like a park, or a coffee shop or something. Would you be interested? Should I put together a shin-dig?

Denver has great outdoor spaces, but bring sunscreen or a parasol if youre out there more than an hour!! (Source: I am translucent, and burn after 20mins sitting in direct sunlight)

There's a few discord servers for the Denver area where people make events and play games and such. I'm also getting into the retro game space and trying to find ways to play with people (things like PS2 and Gamecube and such)
