Where the fuck do people go to make new friends nowadays? I've tried work, I've tried hobbies, I've tried the gym, I've tried bars, I've tried events. Friendships never manifest. All of my school friends disappeared after we graduated, and I've had no luck in finding replacements. My old friends were introverts like me, we'd just hang out and talk or play video games or card games together.

We are a fundamentally antisocial society. I don't personally care about friendship but I do want to find a lover and it's impossible because people think you're creepy if you pursue them.

Most people including normies are experiencing the same thing you are, so you aren't alone. We have allowed social media tyrants and other corporate interests to pick apart our lives and ruin the fabric of basic humanity.

Bad news is that even though your struggle is valid, there is no easy or uplifting answer to get out of it. You're competing with social media for attention. The competition for social capital has never been greater and there's no good playbook to get some for yourself any more. You're going to have to do a bunch of soul destroying shit to boost your status like you are a fucking brand just so people look at you, and you're going to have to do the right thing a hundred times to get ghosted, lied to, taken advantage of, etc. You'll have to try a lot of things like alchemy with no guarantee of success. Starting from ground zero is brutal.

But it can be done. Every anon who has done it will have a different story. Some pleasant, most not so much.
