how... how do you make make a friend group
I don't have too much more to say beyond the title. My mental health isn't great and I can't travel too much. The only people around here are super old or high schoolers. I just want people to talk to and maybe play games with. At this point the possibility of meeting is optional.
I've tried making friends online but I don't use discord >!(groomed as a child and genuinely do NOT want to go back)!<. No one really seems eager to just start yapping on Instagram/Threads, and it's hard enough trying with Steam chat. I met two people through a game but they're so busy lately.
If you need some background, I've 23 (>!2003!<), live in England, mixed race, queer. I'd like to start roller-skating (with inlines), I like to write a lot, I read some manga every once in awhile, and I watch anime when I can. I don't get out as much as I should partly due to both my mental health and unreliable weather (I only have 1 good coat and it doesn't work well with my usual outfits.
On the online front...well, you can see me online 🙏 ~ I use Reddit (infrequently), Instagram, Threads, Steam, Xbox, Threads, YT/Twitch (don't look me up 🗿), I share some music from time to time (but I don't really know how to produce properly). My DM's are usually open to adults on every platform. Lately, I've been trying to get into Minecraft (Java/Bedrock), I spent way too long on Warframe, I enjoy YOMI Hustle, and I'm in the pre-alpha for Soulframe. I play Overwatch too and I'm crazy enough to want to play LoL (the Nunu and Willump dialogue is too adorable).
How do you make friends (online/offline)? TELL ME YOUR SECRETS 🙇♀️
P.S. Is an image expected? I don't know Reddit etiquette 😭
