Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Go hang out at places where people have similar interests.
I myself go to local TTRPG meet ups.
The challenge with interest based friends is that the venue and space are the main thing tying you together. The hardest part of friendship in your 20s is how often people move to go build a life somewhere.
Staying put with people who what to stay in a place makes long term friends easier. Unless you really like being/having pen pals.
True. However my main friend group in my twenties whom I hung with for nearly a decade, we were just a group of nerds into MyG and DnD
How'd your 30s go?
This actually is a valid assumption that you can make! Statistically, most people who you are able to make friends with are going to be more on the sociable side and are more likely to be more popular and outgoing. If there's literally anyone in the hobby who is outgoing, it should be possible for them to make friends in it
Come over and watch me play World Of Horror. No, I will not converse with you while I play.
Besides this being unnecessarily mean, I think it's also a very unhelpful generalization because even for people with weirdo autistic interests and internet brainrot (I myself am one such person), there are going to be many who are isolated, but still a meaningful number who are more social about it, even if only because they had the same thought OP had.
This is a really mean thing to say about a stranger.
