Will always be @nicky from cohost (2022-infinity)
i moved in the middle of 2020 (0/5 stars, would not recommend) and since the Happening hasn't ended or gotten better in any way i haven't made any irl friends here... being at moderate/high risk and all
had my friends drive up from LA a bit ago to hang out for a day but that's kind of been it
how do u make new friends to do stuff with, while also being terrified of leaving ur house and meeting new people. lol. lmao
"make new friends" is always one of the toughest adult conundrums in general, right. like, without the forced camaraderie of work or school, how does one meet people at all? and the answer is "force that camaraderie some other way" which is why people join, you know, ham radio and RC clubs and stuff. It's all just a singles bar (sexless (maybe))
I feel like that's probably the avenue to investigate. Don't get me wrong: I sure wouldn't!!! i would just sit at home and suffer!!! but like. is there a thing you can join? christ preserve me: a hackerspace? an art space? anyone holding synthesizer meetups locally? beer garden club?
if it's something i can join fully remote then maybe. but since most people have given up trying to make events and things accessible like that,,, idk
well i guess idk why it matters that you're in a new place if you can't see anyone in person anyway so maybe i misunderstood the post and the actual complaint is Seeing People Is Impossible. either way: the struggle is real and bullshit
you see my dilemma lol (both readings of the post are correct, tht's why i'm in hell)
I'm getting my own place for the first time tomorrow and uh, yeah I feel this. Granted I know people here already so it's not one to one. But I wanted to go to things at least a little and now BA5 is a thing so back to hiding but entirely alone I guess...
