Hey all,

I'm turning 32 in a few days and due to a lot of different factors as well as moving to a completely different state years ago, I essentially had to restart a brand new life. Several of my old close friends passed away due to various tragedies, and the rest we all just.. fell out of touch.

This may sound kind of pathetic, being so up front about it, but i'm honestly so alone that I just don't know what else to do. I really want to make some new friends to play games with. I haven't had any online friends or anyone that I can play games with for almost over 5 years now.

I work from home doing cyber security for hospitals across the country and have a lot of down time, so I spend most of my days playing games to be honest. Aside from work and gaming I'm also a musician and have been in a few bands through my life. My fiancee unfortunately isn't much of a gamer and all of the games that I really like to play she's just not really into playing due to complexity. We play genshin impact together sometimes and have played since the game came out basically, but that's about it.

On top of the various hardships that led me up to this point, i've also been recovering from a pretty severe chronic illness/injury that has had me in and out of the hospital now for the last year. I have been recovering, slowly but surely, but between being home alone all the time working, i've reached a point were I just feel like I don't have any friends anymore at all.

I don't know anyone or have anyone in my life who shares similar interests or likes playing any of the same games that I do.

Mods - Sorry if this isn't allowed or if I shouldn't have posted here. I just figured I would give it a shot to see what would happen.

Hope you all are doing well and thanks for reading.
