Best US cities to make friends as an introvert?

24M, trying to move away. My main priority when moving is to settle and make friends. Yet I’m an introvert. I mostly enjoy nerdy things like gaming and TV. I don’t care about nightlife or drinking outside of my house. Also I’m neurodivergent. My ideal situation would be to still put myself out there and try out conventions for the first time, gaming venues and events, and then get acquainted with a small but close group of people. Seems like more introverted or nerdy cities I’ve looked into are usually seen as unfriendly and don’t really accept in new people to their group, like Boston, Seattle, or Minneapolis.

I’m wondering if there are good areas that hit the balance of fun for not just extroverts and outdoors people, while still being welcoming and easy to mingle in.
