I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.
Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?
I mean becoming more than acquaintances. And especially just having people to talk to at random times without pressure of 1 on 1 texting or phone calls. Like just sharing stupid memes and being able to asynchronous chat and get to know people.
I guess what I want is to get close with people and not just be acquaintances. Especially at night
It’s a process. Are there any acquaintances that you’re interested in befriending? Someone that shares your interests enough that you could invite them to something? I’ve become friendlier with a couple of co-workers by asking about restaurants in their neighborhood, which led to them saying, “let me know when you go and I’ll meet you there.”
I’m the mean time, you can share dumb stuff here and we will laugh with you.
