Where can I make young adult friends after college?

[Adam_INTJ]

So I graduated from college in May, and am not satisfied with my current social options. I'm 23 and want to hang with more people around my age.

Trouble ism it seems like most people already have their small group of friends and spend most of their lives between work, Netflix, a boyfriend/girlfriend, and maybe the gym. Where do I meet people?

Here's what I've tried so far:

Church: I go to the young adult group, but its small and I have very different interests than the group.
Meetup. com: clubs The groups that I'm most interested in don't have young adults
Political volunteering: My age group isn't involved there
Christian camp retreats: Great, but you only see the people there a few times per year

Also I won't do bars or nightclubs since I don't drink and don't like that subculture. But I'm at a loss for where else to look.

Where do y'all meet other people age 20 to 26 after college?

Don’t feel so defeated lol you’re a bright guy who has been taught to look for the loop holes and all the clues. You have some Christian background, then you should also trust God (your care taker/ guide) to guide you to the best options. 🤷‍♀️

There should be plenty of young people in politics. You can meet them at neighboring or partnered firms. Meet them in other political arenas (campaigns or so)?
Go back to the universities and help tutor anyone in politics. You can possibly find others a tad younger, but maybe others your age who had a late start in their pursuits.

Work with all your interest groups and try considering just testing out new hobbies, or interests, to meet some really spontaneous or unique people.

Look up political events; anything. You like piano? Then go to I don't know, operas/ musicals/ concerts? Go wherever there is a place that is catered to your interests. Have an open mind, and a positive heart.

Take a trip? Travel? Hike? Perhaps meet other foreigners interested in politics and catch their insights. See what they’re into.

Just stay hopeful and do what you can, while at this stage of your life.

i don't know really , i recall doing some poltical groups years ago and recall there wasn't many my age , guess that hasn't changed.
you seem to be trying at least to meet people somehow , i don't think there is a magical answer rate now , you sort of just have to meet looking and gradually might meet some more people

[NathanDavis]

what are your actual interests and hobbies, skills?

[Adam_INTJ]

Politics, writing, philosophy, psychology, books on self help and productivity, anime, Christianity, and piano.

I'm a pretty big nerd

[NathanDavis]

do you ever have fun? are these actually fun for you? or just interesting

[Adam_INTJ]

Geez, harsh. Yes I enjoy them. Crushing the dreams of a neophyte on debate is fun. I like doing some stuff with friends, but it's really genetic stuff like a retreat or lunch.

You should hit the gym. You will find a lot of people around your age

[Adam_INTJ]
