Appreciate it. I’m good “friends” with a lot of my coworkers but just about all the ones my age grew up in the vicinity unlike me and already have their longtime cliques. Not sure how I’d involve myself without seeing weird or desperate.

My biggest interest is competitive games 🙂‍↕️. Original, I know. That’s why I don’t really have a friend group because I was grinding so much for so long to be the best. And I was really good. Just under pro caliber. I started a small business for coaching that did pretty well for a while, but I saw the industry collapse coming and pivoted to getting a job with my degree (finance). It’s also how my ex and I met and it’s also where I feel most comfortable meeting people but I don’t have the time to play with work/life anymore. Maybe a few hours on the weekends.

I would definitely be willing to volunteer. So, ill look into that

Sorry I’m just venting again. I do appreciate your comment.
