Hi, I know someone who doesn't have any friends. Ive made some threads for advice before but now Im looking for straight forward answers for this.

He wants to find friends, where can he find some to keep him company?

Just to note a few things: He's not the type of guy who goes to clubs or bars, he'd prefer if he could find people to share interests with, and would also prefer to meet friends of the opposite gender (perhaps friends with benefits as well?).

-

Don't really know but please help out, he's hasn't had the best of moods lately.

like i said on your other thread that was gone now i think try getting a pet like a cute dog to walk around the streets with and you will attract other people to have small talks with and that may spark a bigger friendship later on plus if you are really clinically mentally sick (depression you have implied) then pet therapy can help especially loneliness

Well if you have no problem going out the obvious thing is meeting people in places related to those interests.

if he's in college or school, clubs that relate to his interests. even just talking to someone in your class will get you friends, if you're not totally weird about it. you can just be like, "hey, i like [insert thing about outfit or something relevant]" and/or ask a question to facilitate conversation. people like compliments and talking about themselves or their interests.

if he's not in school, look online to see if there's anything local that pertains to his interests. conventions and organized meetups are great places to meet new people.

also, tell him he shouldn't be down on himself if an attempt fails or the person shrugs it off. stuff like that happens, but every chance not taken is an opportunity missed, and he'll get results no matter what if he keeps it up.

You meet people where you frequently visit, be it your work or just a general location that attracts others, sharing similar interests/intent.

It seems to me that you'll be posting this exact same thing few more times. It is just a matter of time before op drops this thread and makes the same one again.

Hmm, the way I have found my friends is, seriously, by talking to random strangers on the places I love to hang out. No, seriously, I personally don't go to clubs nor bars. I love to hang out at libraries and bookstores; I visit these places very frequently. Hence, whenever I notice the same person frequently going to similar genre sections that I also frequent to I would gather up the courage and just start talking. If we end up talking for about half hour or more, I would then gather up the courage to ask them for their phone number to plan future bookstore or library meetups. It's not easy, I understand, but worth it when you finally find someone that accepts to hang out with you.

Another way I found some of my friends is through the website meetup.com. This is a website where people plan activities or just places to meet up (hence the name) with other people with similar interests. Again, I love anime, manga and literature, so I was able to find a group with similar interests and gathered the courage to show up to some of these meetups. This is actually how I met my current partner <3

I personally suggest for your friend to check out meetup.com first, if your friend is comfortable with this, of course. I wish good luck to your friend :)

mmm i kind of feel like this should be common sense, but there's no specific place that you can make friends in/at. because you can
make friends literally anywhere. you just have to be a little open, and also accommodating enough that the reciprocating party can appeal
to you and you should be able to strike up some semblance of a meaningful conversation that could potentially lead to a good friendship.

maybe try to frequent places that you consider close to your own interests and start from there. if you happen to meet someone who
catches your eye then try to be friendly and sincere and hopefully they'll be able to do the same as well. good luck op !!

It's not a matter of where, it's a matter of how and it starts with not talking about yourself in third person.

I am a god

Even though I'm a man of god

My whole life in the hand of god

So y'all better quit playing with god

Ask him to watch grave of fireflies if he haven't. I think volunteering activity, going to gym or participating in any gathering like symposium, conference etc. But hey real life people likes to talk about real life stuff so anime cannot mix well unfortunately, at least around where I'm from.
