Most friends I ever made were made in school..they are all long gone in all four cardinals.

Is it even possible to forge meaningful friendships as an adult?

I won't read yet another how to get friends thread. OP, you can never get friends because you have an IQ of 60 as demonstrated by your total inability to look in the archive for the frequent threads on this subject.

Do you want to know how useless you are? This is what Ai can conjure up in 10 seconds.
>yeah bro, it’s harder but totally doable. You just gotta be intentional now.

Most friends in school happened 'cause you were forced into the same place every day. As an adult, you gotta choose to be around people.
Start with hobbies — anything that gets you near the same people regularly: gym classes, local meetups, game nights, art/music stuff, whatever.
Apps help too: Meetup, Bumble BFF, even Discord servers (don’t underestimate online friendships that turn real).

Don’t wait for others to make the first move. Invite them out. Follow up. It feels awkward at first, but nobody’s gonna hold it against you — they’re just as isolated.

And yeah, share more than just small talk. That’s how stuff goes from acquaintance to actual friend.

One real friend as an adult hits harder than ten from school anyway. Just don’t give up after one try.

Op wanted a human response, yet you provided less than an Ai could, even insulted him. Shame on you.

You just have to make it to your 30s at which point you just stop caring that you have no friends. 20s can be brutal when you're full of social desire and unable to make it happen

Do sports, if you're consistent you'll meet people who are too, and you'll just passively get to know eachother
