Gotta bite the bullet. If you work at a physical location with coworkers, if there's any that you speak with more than others, I'd just come clean to them and say "hey, i don't get out too much, thought it'd be cool if we could hang out some time, no problem if you're not into it". And set a time if they'd like.
Barring that you can find online communities or sites based around finding online friends, I found one off the subreddit gamer pals back on Reddit. You could even try and PM people you see around a lot on whatever social media you frequent, you miss 100% of the shots you don't take, etc.
Even if some of those people don't want to be friends I doubt they'd judge you for trying, and if they did then they're a fuckin ass hole anyway.
