Where should I go to get friends? I'm gonna be 24 soon and I have stopped being social at least 8 years ago, I miss having friends and someone to talk too. The people at work are just that, work buddies, nobody shows interests in hanging out.

HOW TO GET FRIENDS
Don't look for friends.
Look for things to do. Join a gym, go to concerts, do volunteer work, take a "useless" class (cooking, art appreciation, auto repair) at a community college, hang out at the comic book store.
You'll meet other people doing the same thing, so it will be natural to chat. Eventually someone will suggest you all go out for coffee/drink afterward. Some of them will know other people. Some will be opposite-gender-type people.
I took a beginner cooking class. We were all awful at it, and laughed at each other and ourselves. I began to look forward to the classes for the company as much as the cooking. When we got brave enough, we started a "Come to my place for dinner and see if you survive" club, taking turns cooking for each other.

But I work and commute so where do I get the time to do those things? Perhaps I can go to concerts as you said.

There are classes that fit the schedule of a working individual, but you need to find something you really want to do enough to spend your evening and your money on it. Maybe something you've postponed for a long time because you found it silly, like the cooking mentioned, or painting, building robots, anything you really, really like but never find time to do.

if you spend too much time working and commuting you need to get a new job or move.
