| My not so dear NEETs and basement dwellers of MAL, I have come to you because this is such a perfect place to ask this question. Where in the hell do you meet new people outside of school? I mean seriously. A little back story on me, shitty life and shitty luck means I moved at least every year of high school. I even dropped out for over a year at one point. The few acquaintances I made during my final run of schooling all turned into coke heads. I got tired of ending up at drug houses so I cut contact with them over two years ago. Fuck college I went straight into working and have been working the same job for the last two and a half years. In my job I see a limited number of people and most are grouchy old fucks. So here's my question, how in the fuck am I supposed to meet new people? I'm utterly clueless. |
 |
| First off, not everyone's a NEET and a basement dweller here. Stop thinking that everyone is like you. That'll help you meet new people. |

| I've made friends with: - coworkers - people in local communities (in my case, Anime North community) - mutual friends - MAL people nearby :> |

| Good point, I dont know either. I'd try taking up a hobby with a club but there's no clubs here. |
| I've been here way too long... |
| Join a gym (met people there by asking them to spot me or ask advice) Definitely volunteer if you have time, great way to expand your network |

| The main way I make friends are from meeting them during after school activities and stuff like sports or clubs and camps. I mean I have lots of friends that don't go to my school in kendo and stuff and I know a few guys from when I took some summer classes at Digipen |

| Go to college. That's what I'm doing. Community college preferably. They are practically meant for people like you and me where it's been a while since we last did any schooling.

| There's a local pub that has a few pool tables near where I live. I just go there by myself some days and see if anybody wants to play a few games, offer to buy them a pint and just have a social game. I've made a few friends from doing that. |

| ive met some friends through sports and shet |
| Well, first of all you have to make a conscious effort. You can't expect it to fall into your lap. I mean, who knows, maybe once in awhile it'll happen, but most times it won't. I've made friends with co-workers, people at anime conventions, fighting game tournaments, etc. Got a nearby bookstore that sells manga? Talk to people while their there. If they pick up a series you like, talk about it. Basically, you just gotta' leave your damn house. Otherwise, the chances of you finding a friend online who lives close by is super rare, but i've made plenty of online only friends too. And please OP. Don't call your life shitty. You were right to cut ties with those coke heads. That's far from shitty, imo. |
"There is nothing outside of yourself that enables you to get better. Everything is within. Seek nothing outside of yourself." ⛩️  |
| work, (skate)parks and parties sport clubs are great for making friends too |
| - Meet friends of other friends - Work - If you have hobbies that requires to interact with others, talk to them more - If there's somewhere you frequent often (restaurant, store, etc) and see someone else that's a regular, make conversation |
