Being a curmudgeon probably does not help! It is hard though, especially in your late 20s. Everything will require a drive because its NH. Maybe hiking or camping groups, volunteer stuff that aligns with your interests, going out but have a meal at the bar and hang out if you feel weird, there are table top games in Rochester, sports leagues, look for a smaller and more social gym, look for a night class that interests you (woodworking, etc.), resort to technology-facebook, tinder, etc. to find things, look for cheap concerts, open mics, karaoke, local bands, comedy shows, etc.

I don't know Strafford, so I am not sure of the resources. Local papers, if you have any, are a great source. Just pick organizations that align with your hobbies and go from there. For me, I like being outside, so I volunteer at a zoo/park and met some great people. I do trail work with some outdoor organizations. Find the venues around you and check their websites for upcoming events and shows.

Not really, never too late! Cliche to say, but it’s true. I started over at 36. Yes, it can be frustrating feeling so far behind, but I’m so much happier on my new path!
