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.

Do you have a job? Maybe you can be friends with people at work. If not, get a job. Teenagers/early twenties often work retail or restaurant jobs and you don't typically need any previous experience.

If you want to stay within your academic field, look into internships.

There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.
