I’ve met friends through a book club, a mutual aid group, a film discussion class, improv classes (silly but made lifelong friends!), queer craft meetups…but honestly I had the most luck with BumbleBFF & other apps bc it eliminates the awkward part of not being sure if the people at the event wanna hang out outside of it or not.
What if there's like a local section to find people on this app around you to make new friends in person? I feel like a key factor in me downloading this app was because social media is becoming the new third space for people my age but it doesn't beat physically meeting new people 🫶🏽
If you're in your city for school or work, it's easy to get into conversation with someone. The good old water cooler talk can lead to friendships. If you're more introverted all i can say is try to step out of your comfort zone. Even if it's hard, a small thing can have huge effects.
Maybe if you have a specific hobby, like a sport, you could join a club or workshop. You'll definitely meet like minded people every where.
