Preface, nothing against those that do.
Its increasingly difficult to ever do fun things with my current friends. Now that I’m to the point where I have the space and the money and time to do pretty much anything I want, no one else has any time to hang out. I get ignored a lot, which I get, they care about their family more. But I’m the type of person who likes to host stuff and do things.
Not a huge deal to me, I’m fine being alone, but its like, man, its really fun hanging out and playing some IRL video games or just cruising or walking around outdoors etc. I guess nobody really has time as they get old though. Or maybe I need to find a younger crowd 😆 I have no idea.
It seems the only way to meet folks I like is on IRC or lately matrix ! Problem is they aren’t IRL friends.
Is there a reason you can’t put yourself out there to find IRL friends outside of the internet?
Edit: I’m asking in good faith. Is there an issue with a disability or something? People can better answer your question if you give more pertinent information.
No, I can, I just dont live in an area with people of similar interests.
How can you be so sure? What specific interests are you trying to find common ground on? Your post only specifies finding people who aren’t parents.
Its more so that my friends are/were cool, but now they dont do anything other than kid stuff because they have no time. and ive known them for years. Its hard to find new nice people I can trust that are into music or gaming or cars etc. Or people already have their own friend group etc and I dont want to just butt in.
