If you don't have any hobbies or social outlets maybe that's why you don't have any friends? That sounds harsh, so lemme explain. One of the most common ways to make friends besides just being in the same environment and being around likeminded people is by how you spend your time. If you like to go hiking, you can make friends with people of similar temperament to hike with, or if it's video games then that, or if you enjoy reading, then you could meet people with a book club. Since you're a leftist, you could see if there's local orgs around and they could be a source of friends.
Do what you have to do, or do what you enjoy, and then just talk to people. If you're having trouble talking to people, that's a different kettle of fish.
It is pretty difficult finding friends while doing that!
I also enjoy long walks/hikes, but it’s not that easy to meet people doing that
That's fair as well. You could see if your city has any hiking groups that are organized, it may not be unheard of, or you could even see about starting one and might have some people interested?
School.
Work.

Meetup has hiking groups, see if there's one in your area.
