i want to make more friends and honestly maybe meet a guy, but feels like there are no spaces to connect with people that isn’t the club/bar. Even if we did have those spaces, it feels like we’ve lost the ability to connect that way. I feel that more direct human connection would help the world so much. I just don’t know where to start. does anyone relate at all?

Go to events for stuff that you're interested in it could be a movie screening, book launch, music events... Idk how culturally active the place you live in is, but I'm sure there must be something going on. It's a great way to meet similar minded people.

LOTS of people around here relate! My go-to suggestion is to take an art class. This is advice I actually took myself for once. I don’t expect to see the other students again, but it was nice going somewhere and trying something with others nevertheless. If you have the fortitude to go alone, I think that’s best. I went with a friend and might’ve been more open to everyone if I didn’t.

This is not a high quality rec because I'm not writing from current experience and may be completely missing the heart of the matter. But: Our lives revolve around internet and digital and apps and using our devices to communicate, that is the normal default for everyone, but it really doesn't serve us well—my opinion—when trying to spark friendships, deepen relationships, and find love. My rec is to seek out spaces and groups where people gather and build community. And I honestly don't even know what that is. But there are probably interest groups or clubs—like a running club, if doable—or a volunteer projects where you'll start to rub shoulders with people who share interests and values.

I just want to connect with someone. Have a deep and meaningful conversation. Most people these days just don't care, they're all like "ahhhh lets get lit!" When will I find someone that wants to talk about the political and economic state of the world?

is it just me or does everyone realize that as you get older, you make less and less friends because you don't trust anyone but your closest friends? i feel like it's so hard to make friends nowdays and it probably not just me who feels this way. everyone prefers to stay cozy at home, mostly watching films or smth instead of going on a coffee and a walk, people are also preoccupied with their own stuff, and rarely anyone wants to go out and have fun ¿ idk it's kinda weird because when i used to think that i would be 18 , i would have a friend group, i wasn't thinking of having one good friend who i only see two times a year... and i've also noticed that people are chronically online and most of them don't have a social life anyway?? it's actually sad to think because life isn't supposed to be spent on tiktok :/ i think it's time to bring back book clubs or something or maybe i just don't have friends and needed to yap a bit 😇

I have the most derp dog and I love him so much. He snorts a lot. instead of barking for your attention he snorts like a pig. He also sits like a diva with his legs to the side because of a surgery he got. Not to mention I’ve never met a dog with more uncanny eye contact: he either stares at you or can’t look you in the eyes, there’s no in between. he also enjoys sitting upright on the couch with his leg on the armrest? How does he know how to do that? This is William.
