Not weird at all imo. Talk to people you'd talk to normally as well tbh. Similar age, etc

Gyms, activity clubs and groups, volunteer organizations, acting or dancing classes, etc., although nothing beats college - to make friends you must spend around 50-100 hours around other people, chat and interact with them, this happens easily in school, high-school, college, etc., but after that the opportunities are much more limited...
When you start working for example, people there can be older, or they already have a circle of friends and don't want others, there's also the stress of the job, so people might not be too friendly, it's just so much more difficult to make friends after college.
Going to a gym or activity club also doesn't guarantee you'll make friends, if other people go there sporadically or at a different schedule than you, it needs to be a place where you can stay around others regularly for several hours at least a few days per week, so you'll have enough interaction with them to reach those 50-100 hours required to form a friendship.
