In highschool, I was never anti-social nor was I rude. But for some reason people hated me and stopped talking to me after HS. I found a really tight group of online friends, but after some disputes and a romantic break-up in the group, I kind of fell out of the groups circle. Now I just browse forums trying to talk to anybody. I do miss having friends. The one friend I try not to pester would rather be with his band mates most of the time. So even we don't talk much anymore.
I guess what I'm asking is how do you make irl friends again? I've been so out of the loop, I feel it's impossible to consider any friendship in these times.
Being alone after your 20's sucks... I'm not looking for anything romantic, I just want friendship in my life again....

Ever since the covid hoax I stopped interacting with the goyim cattle. I just look through them and pretend they don't exist. I don't even greet them or acknowledge their presence. I'm not staring either, I'm just looking straight through them as if they weren't there.
My life has significantly improved. I have zero social anxiety now, not that I had much before but now I have zero.

Try meetups.com that's what I'm going to do soon and I hope it works because I need a friend badly.

lmaoooooo you're just gonna casually hand wave away 12+ years (because it's at least 18->30) like that?

More like 8 years, I tried to patch things up, they didn't want to. Then they replaced me with some other sap. This was about 4 years ago. Moral of the story is don't get online friends.

It can, but you have to go to some groups consistently. Try to find some that meet every week or two for an activity and keep going week after week and you will meet friends. I forced myself to do it. Keep in mind everyone going to those things are in similar positions looking for friends or just a community
