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.

Absolutely ! For work, I have to keep moving every couple of years, so I’ve learned a few tricks to create a network. The two main rules are: online doesn’t count and something is better than nothing. The first is clear, while the second one is based on the “friends paradox”: on average, your friends have more friends than you have. That means that meeting someone random can help you meet more people, until you gather your own group.
