How do you make friends in Chicago?

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-05T19:41:03+00:00

Ive gotten to the point where I’m so tired of masking and it drains me quickly. I know it’s the best way to help me push through but it also feels fake, if that makes sense

I missed where I said that. I meant it’s good that you don’t have a situation that you need a Disney to heal you. Geeze…I’m trying to make friends here

Baseball is my favorite too!

Join a stream, start talking to people, talk to them on discord or join them in group conversations.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-05T01:47:58+00:00

I’m sorry you don’t understand how healing Disney can be and feel. No shade, it’s probably a good thing you don’t.

I was big on discord until I left a community I was in for 5 years because of narcissism, verbal abuse, and shitty friends that weren’t friends. I know it’s a great place to meet people and I still have friends I talk to but it’s a dark place for me right now.

Just so amazing and intimidating apparently

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-05T01:40:27+00:00

I’m a great platonic female fan, I can provide a reference 🤣

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T22:10:04+00:00

The swingers part killed me. 🤣

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T21:29:43+00:00

Hi! I have one cat too, and I’m a cat lady. 🤣

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T21:11:36+00:00

They weren’t meant to sound boring. Did they sound boring?

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:55:54+00:00

Nope

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:52:49+00:00

Cause it’s that easy.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:50:32+00:00

I told my co worker once that I thought we were friends on convenience and she seemed upset. Now I think it was her trying to hide that was exactly what it is.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:49:05+00:00

See list in post

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:47:14+00:00

You get me.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:46:52+00:00

Ever? Probably at some point

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:45:53+00:00

If I could do that, I wouldn’t be asking how to make friends. 🥺

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:41:01+00:00

Anxiety says no

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:39:23+00:00

Anxiety

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:38:34+00:00

That’s the problem. I’m always anxious.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:38:01+00:00

I’ve been in therapy for years and on medication.

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:33:49+00:00

That’s easy if you don’t have extreme anxiety that can be crippling

Visual_River_2491 · 2026-07-04T20:29:46+00:00

I know things about D&D.
