Does anyone have any idea how to make good friends in person? Like where to meet them?

Mutual hobbies is the universal answer to that


Chose an activity and start doing it yourself (alone at first)
Then you meet the people who have a community around it and make friends with them naturally


Run club, gym, chess club, book club, any club really


Most of my friends today I made playing basketball for example
And some in college


I know it’s not easy
I myself sometimes wish I can make more friends and never have the time to do it


But that’s what being an adult is about I suppose. Gone are the playground playdates

I have a friend who used to watch movies in high school for the sole purpose of having things to talk about with people at school. Find something that you can learn things from and than share your opinion with others, that is how you meet new people.

Don't meet people online

But that’s where I feel the safest

[Robert1971]

I guess either way you are taking a chance

[Asker]

Indeed, and either way I’m not successful in either approach

[Robert1971]

Are you trying or not trying hard enough

[Asker]

I am trying my hardest in dating apps.

[Asker]

And very hard online. I feel isolated and upset

[Robert1971]

Is that what you mostly use

[Robert1971]

What kind of guys are you looking for

[Asker]

Yeah I’ve used dating apps. Got banned on two of them and on Reddit.

[Asker]

Friends.

[Robert1971]

Don't use reddit

[Asker]

I’m not. I feel lonely.

[Robert1971]

Maybe go out to nite club this Friday

[Asker]

That doesn’t work. I’m sure I could watch tv do things even when I have no friends and no support

[Robert1971]

Are you in a big city. I'm sure you will find someone

[Asker]

I live on an island, in the suburbs. I don’t drive often so I need to get out there

[Robert1971]

Ohh. That's why your always online

[Asker]

I try not to be always online? I feel unwanted and unsupported though.

[Robert1971]

Well. I'm not unsupportive
