This is something I think I realized too late. I've made a lot of progress in my life in the past five years or so, but I honestly can't say I'm any more fulfilled than I was back then. Now I'm not in school and spend most of my time alone. I always hear people say "Oh go get a social hobby, go to bars, put yourself out there bro" but it's easier said than done. Most of the friendships I develop this way end up amounting to casual acquaintances at best. I have a few actual friends I made through work just by virtue of being around them constantly, but we still don't do that much stuff together. So I just never end up meeting that many new people on a regular basis. That's when I fall back to the apps, which suck for all the reasons everyone has described a billion times over.
