@jeff @Korgy Yeah, it's a problem for most people these days, we just don't talk about it. I can't remember the statistic exactly, but most young people only know 1-3 people decently well if they even know anyone at all.

None of this is normal. All of the online places where people have even a sliver of hope to meet one another irl are owned and governed by leftist faggots who welcome people from all walks of life as long as it's not you or people like you.

Any "social group" you join that isn't about drinking and partying or cleaning up Tyrone's neighborhood of broken glass is going to be mostly old people. Church, the local ham radio club, that kind of thing. However, you never know what kind of connections you can make from those places. Many of them may have younger relatives in the same boat as you that they could put you in contact with.
