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?

    Board games. Find people who play board, card or roleplaying games. Sign up to an open group to play. Its an extremely social hobby with no pressure - you’re just there to play, and if some joking around and friendship happens, its a great bonus.

      Never understood this one. Majority of people don’t give a shit about board games, so what… I’m supposed to infiltrate into a chess club just to meet people? That’s sound stupidly insincere.

        A lot of game stores do board game nights. I have 2 friends who go sometimes. It’s just tables set up with games available or you can take your own. It’s just a way to play games with more people and have a night out.

          Seems like you skipped the part “majority don’t give a shit about games”

        “Your hobby is stupid and no one cares about it. Why should I keep an open mind to people who like stupid things? This is bad advice.”
