I’m looking to meet new people and find new friends.

What are some places to go to meet new people and maybe find new friends?

I’ve been trying to find new friends through various discord channels.

But I’m not actually on any social media like twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. But was thinking of creating an account on these platforms to meet new people.

So yeah I guess share some places where you have had success in meeting new people.

    Ultimately the best way to meet people, and especially to grow and maintain those connections, is to have the same hobbies as them.

    Do you like sports? Join an adult league Do you like reading? Join a book club Do you like tabletop games? Use Reddit’s r/LFG, or look for a local meetup group, and find some people there.

    Ultimately it’s hard to make new friends when you have nothing to tie you to them long term.

    People have set routines, and it can be difficult to have them make time for a stranger initially.

    But if you join group doing something you enjoy, you already a part of their lives through that. You also have an easy source of conversation, talking about whatever your joint interest is.

        Translation for those like me who have never seen that word before (and I considered myself pretty well read): Propinquity:

        1. Proximity or nearness
        2. Kinship
        3. Similarity in nature
