Why can’t I make connections?

[Anonymous]

I’ve tried everything. I want friends and a love life. I just moved to a new city but even before I struggled with making friends on my own. I haven’t had any love life since like I don't know almost a year. And I have friend everything. I’ve bee in on the apps, I’ve tried everything I can do on the internet I don't know what’s wrong. I’ve even tried bumble bff so I can make friend and it’s not working. I don’t want this to be like my college experience sitting in my room for the next three years. I want A life here. Some friends find a new potential love interest. Why can’t I? How can I make friends? This sucks

Have you ever considered starting your own cult? You could offer your followers a chance to join you in worshipping a giant penis monster. I mean, who wouldn't want to be a part of that? Plus, you'd get to wear some seriously cool robes and have your own secret handshakes.

Or, if you're feeling particularly adventurous, why not try your hand at creating your own horror movie? It could be about a group of people who accidentally stumble upon a cursed dildo that unleashes a horde of demon cocks upon the world. Think "Night of the Living Dongs" meets "The Exorcist". It's sure to be a box office smash.

And if you're really looking for a challenge, why not try to seduce a ghost? I mean, it's not like they have anything better to do, right? Just make sure to bring some extra lube, because ghost sex can be a little... chilly.

I’m a little older, but the only way I make new friends is through existing friends. There really aren’t places to go to meet decent people. All my social hobbies aren’t conducive to actually meeting new people so I hear ya, just not sure I have a solution for you.

Did you spend most of your adolescence and teen years texting and contacting others on social media?

No but I had school to help now I’m a newly graduated 20 something in a new city and I’ve never really been good at it I don’t think

Your generation has grown up texting and using social media instead of talking to each other in person or on the phone, so your social skills are blunted. I think you are not alone in this quandary!

Stop trying so hard and let love find you.
