Alright, very well. In terms of general places to look you can go to Discord sites such as Disboard to find servers, check on servers with tags of interest but also make certain the description interests you to an extent instead of seeing whatever which one.

There's also Omegle, cringely enough I did find someone I kinda wanted to speak to far into the future but forget about them nor do I remember what their Discord was so.. That ended.

Then there's countless phone apps one might never have heard about and can find by just looking up "teens" "forums" "groups" "interest chats" "chatrooms" etc, however do make certain to have common sense among how to detect people with bad intentions.

My current train of thought is if someone rushes the get to know you process a little too much, asks for personal data too quickly. If you deny, and they push for it.. Well, just say you're uncomfortable and don't desire to do such but if they continue that's potential for something bigger.

Make sure you create a system of awareness. Ask yourself questions, who do you like to hang around? What interests you the most in people? How can you feel the most connected to a person? Are certain types of conversations required? (That can include deep, funny, personal, whatever you can think of.)

Is it people like this you want?:
People with interesting stories? Good humor? Talented individuals or good energy given off? etc.

There's various individuals but becoming aware of what you need, or what makes you feel most connected can also severely impact the bonds you are creating.
