There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!

Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice ๐Ÿ‰.

No big self help lemmy so I had to ask it somewhere else. Alright, I'm an university student but:

  • I don't like too much noise (no parties or bars).
  • I only go to university twice per week and it's far from home.
  • I don't like dating apps.
  • Social media imo stresses me out instead of helping me.
  • Can't steal friends of friends: New city, I know no one here.
  • I suck abismally at sports. Also I don't have a sporty profile.
  • Board/cardgame shops usually catter to people aged 30 and over as they can actually buy the games.

I'm just, like, out of ideas where to meet people aged 16-26. My best shot so far was in public transport but I'm usually too tired to bother. Been thinking of joining a DnD table or something just to meet people already rofl.

I've found that hobbies and interests are really good. Are there meetup groups in your city for different activities? Are you into comedy? There are probably some improv classes. Are you into watching sports? Etc etc etc.

I will say trying to make friends with people on public transport seems reaaasaally offputting. Most other people are going to or from work and just want some time to themselves.

Yeah it's bloody weird but usually they start it (looking at me and smiling). Always because I look very butch and they're lesbians.
