I know this question gets asked a lot, but still, meeting people seems excessively difficult. A lot of advice seems sound, and a lot seems like cope. I'm not blaming society for my lack of dating experience. I could be doing more myself. I'm a pretty shy guy who's only dated one person, and she was the one who made the first move. But when I look at current culture, I sometimes feel hopeless about dating. How do you meet people?
I really want to get my life back in gear. I'm currently going to the gym, eating healthy, taking supplements, sleeping decently, in community college, and unemployed. Summer is approaching, and I'm going to get some type of job soon. In a good amount of credit card debt right now (10k). I'm still recovering from a bad luck spell. I got fired half a year ago, totaled my car (hit an elk), and insurance couldn't do anything; I had to pay for expensive dental and hospital visits, and I'm still messed up from a girl I dated a year ago. Returning to school was a decision I made after getting fired. I was able to live off of unemployment, only worrying about school, which was great for my mental health, but not for my finances.
I've been journaling a lot recently, which has been great. Trying to maintain/ pick up hobbies like skating, tumbling, guitar, and language learning. Hobbies are super important to me; I realized that's partially what made me so happy as a kid. There were a lot of traits I had as a kid that made me happy, mainly not caring about what people think, passionate hobbies, being highly active, good social life, self-confidence, and a very present mindset. I've lost some of these, but it's entirely possible to reclaim all of them. In month four of Accutane, after having acne for years, which has been helping out psychologically, but there's definitely some anxiety caused by the drug at the same time. I'm super into health, and I'm very open to any biohacks for improving energy because energy levels are an issue of mine. I also want to get back into dating, as I'm still inexperienced in that, although I'm fine with waiting a bit on this. My social life is pretty solid right now. I have a good amount of really close friends, but my group is small. I'm truly just trying to progress and enjoy life. Coming out of a bit of a rut right now, but I'm optimistic
My main question is, given all of this, what should I start or consider doing? I'm open to all types of advice, thanks.
