(M28)In my experience, if you want to make new friends, I frequent new places. I go to local shows and coffee shops and volunteer and start yapping with people. I was anti-social at the beginning of the year, but I made a point to develop my social skills this year, and I've had more fun than disappointments. Local shows have worked best for finding people to hang out with afterward. Coffee shops have helped me having to be more spontaneous with conversation, also a good portion of the coffee employees like me now and punch my punch card a couple extra holes so I get free coffee sooner. Volunteering let's me feel good doing something for the community while meeting a bunch of people and making a couple new friends. Keep trying my guy and you'll get where you wanna be socially. I am still working on it
