We moved to !casualconversation@piefed.social please look for https://lemm.ee/post/66060114 in your instance search bar

Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (e.g. politics or societal debates).
  4. Stay calm: Don’t post angry or to vent or complain. We are a place where everyone can forget about their everyday or not so everyday worries for a moment. Venting, complaining, or posting from a place of anger or resentment doesn't fit the atmosphere we try to foster at all. Feel free to post those on !goodoffmychest@lemmy.world
  5. Keep it clean and SFW
  6. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc.

No gf, no friends, it's hard to meet new people. Tinder and other apps don't work. Idk even if I travel somewhere I'm alone

Join a club or organization or volunteer somewhere. It has to be in person and you have to go even if at first you aren't comfortable.

All the friends people make at school are happy accidents of proximity and chance. Same with coworker friends. You have to make some luck for yourself, put yourself in situations where you will regularly see the same people and get to know them through what you are doing.

Also, don't focus on romance, focus on friendship. Romance will come naturally - not forced.

I know this does not come easy for most people in your situation. It feels stupid and awkward but chance and circumstances play a huge role in making friends.

Where do I find clubs? Been searching for an answer ever since the library in my city didn't even have a bulletin board

Have you tried Meetup? I found some interesting board game groups there.

I found 1 (one) online d&d session, from Istanbul where I don't live

İt's not great, Facebook's even worse
