I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.
Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?
Linux users groups Maker spaces Artisian guilds (metal working, wood working, etc) Clubs Volunteer with places Get involved in local politics Work a career and network with people
Etc
Social media honestly is very lack luster in mak8ng deeper friendships to me
Interact with local people in your area or wherever you go.
Write letters to your current friends if you know their mail address.
Look at business cards from other people.
If you have neighbors, get to know them.
These are some ideas I came up with for you.
Go to a pub, get drunk.
Join a team or club in something that interests you.
I’m planning on signing up for a couple of rec sports leagues on volo. I’m afraid everyone there is going to be like 20 years old though
Join your city’s discord and go to the meetups
