Decide what your interests are
Figure out what sorts of people might have similar interests
Guess where such people might gather
Go there
Say hello.

Those tools already gave you access to people. It's not really a problem with the search engine; it's just the way the world is. Finding friends is a matter of luck: even in all these years of my life, I've only managed to make a couple of good friends. It's just a matter of luck, pure luck.

This, friends come by and go, some stay, some don't.

No one will feel safe meeting a stranger from the internet in real life. People feel much more comfortable meeting someone through a real life event first like a job or a public gathering.

You need to go places and do things, be in situations where you will meet people.
All new people I've met over the last few years have been from: University/College, dating apps, clubs/nights outs, concerts, volunteer work.

Finding people who like stuff you're into is objectively easier online but they're all likely to be on the other side of the globe, so it's best to stick to in person things if you want someone you cant meet with. If you want friends online try starting a twitter and just following and replying to people.

Just look up events for your hobbies or things you enjoy/like, even if you're not super interested in the event itself you might meet someone. If you're meeting people who are similar in age and location to you the chance are they'll probably share a lot of your interests anyway.

Other ideas: Finding a job in something you're interested in, bars, gyms/pools, conventions, clubs, conservation work, classes.

Also do you not have old friends from school you can hang out with?

It's really expensive to attend a lot of events related to my hobbies
I wasn't able to get to university because of how expensive it was, and my parents had no intention in helping me with it
Works almost entirely impersonal, I rarely meet people, and I've been advised to not make relations in the workplace because of past issues, and I rarely see anyone.
I've never went to the gym but a lot of people have told me good things about it, it looks very expensive though, same with classes
I might volunteer but commute to it is very far from the small place where I'm at, and a bit expensive too
Bars, never really been to one, I could consider it but we have pretty high consumption taxes
I've never really gotten into Twitter for friendships, have you had experience with it?
Dating apps, never used them seriously, I had a Duolicious account and matched up with people, but we were all far away. Concert tickets seem expensive too, and all clubs from me are far away since there's not much of a nightlife scene here.
I've cut off a lot of people I knew from school and I've become sort of a hermit with no social media, I do not want to keep in touch with them because I'm afraid of rejection in a way. I don't know if anyone else has felt the feeling where you look at something for a while and refuse to continue the conversation.
Thanks for your post, I just really wish I knew where I could meet more people without friends like me. Just sucks that everyone everywhere has their own world about them meanwhile I just have a few online friends.
Feels as if I am becoming less human each day with no one really pretending to care.

WHAT FUCKING INTERESTS YOU RETARD
>>
>>34291216
I can mold to almost any interest. but some are:
>Biology
>Banking
>Languages
>Basic trades, plumbing, welding
>Mathematics
>Shows
>Visual novels
I rarely find anyone on the app who just wants to continue the conversation. Feels like everyone with my above interests already is in a friend group.
