iCarlyXCX@op you should check this app
You have to be STRAIGHT for the app to work though
That’s a great app idea, hope it takes off
Nov 15, 2021Okay YeahI do have family near me. I don’t enjoy spending time with my parents because they just stress me out, but I could definitely make more of an effort to make plans with my sisters and aunt. I will do that…
Who knows maybe your sisters will bring someone along you can get to know

MCNprocreate. make friends with kid's friends parents.
kidding, but i'm convinced people do this to avoid loneliness.
do you play any sports? there's probably some local rec leagues you can play in to make friends
I like the rec league idea, and I love sports, will definitely look into it.

Is there a reason you’re looking to make new friends?
Do you not have a friend group already or are you just looking to connect with people with more similar interests?
I still live in the same city I went to high school in so I know friends from back then but I have no motivation to hang out with them because they’re not where I am in life and we don’t care about the same things when we do hang out. I’ve had to cut out a few.
I’d like to make friends with people who are likeminded and will have a positive impact on my life, not necessarily anyone to just kill time with.
But im also starting to feel like maybe my attention is a little misguided. I feel like something is missing from my life right now and the idea I have in my head right now is “not having good friends”. Probably inspired by sitcoms im watching like How I Met Your Mother.
I think after I put myself out there and try a few of the suggestions people posted in this thread, I’ll get a better sense of whether that is actually the problem…

lewinskysdressfirst question to consider is why you want to make new friends
if it’s because you’re lonely then it’s not going to go well
Why? Wait how are you supposed to curb loneliness than if not with friends?

KAPITALbro honestly just try to find yourself, friends will come with that s***
I disagree. I think being complacent, which I have been thus far, only ensures I will be where I am in 5 years from now. I agree with the other poster that said it’s about getting out your comfort zone.

What’s your go-to small talk line?
- Nov 15, 2021·1 replyOkay Yeah
What’s your go-to small talk line?
complimenting someone's fit or part of their outfit is the easiest way to start a conversation and makes people smile cause no one compliments anybody anymore lol

Also don’t think I have the mental fortitude to do the last one rn - Nov 15, 2021Okay Yeah
I promise I will this upcoming week.
If you ever find yourself in a situation where:
- you see someone doing something you like
-you see some beauty in something someones doing
make sure you speak on it to them
literally nothing to lose here, but everything to gain

Good point

How do you look approachable?
Also don’t think I have the mental fortitude to do the last one rndon't be buried in your phone scrolling waiting for someone to approach you, look around and make eye contact with people

I do want to be able to do that eventually, too afraid of rejection and the awkwardness of it currently

Someone already said it itt but making new friends is all about familiarity. Someone that you see often is much more likely to respond positively if you approach them.
I'm surprised you don't have a running buddy or something like that at the very least. Definitely try talking to someone at the gym tho since that seems like it's your best bet rn.
If you still feel like something is missing after you find some friends then maybe you need a change in scenery.

you can be lonely with friends, therefore loneliness is an internal problem and not one that can be solved by people
