I’m looking to meet new people and find new friends.

What are some places to go to meet new people and maybe find new friends?

I’ve been trying to find new friends through various discord channels.

But I’m not actually on any social media like twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. But was thinking of creating an account on these platforms to meet new people.

So yeah I guess share some places where you have had success in meeting new people.

    Concerts?! How? I like interacting with the people around me and we’ll share some jokes, but I’ve never talked to them again

      I have some good friends I met through concerts.

      There are a couple smaller venues that fit a few hundred people that I frequent. When you catch a lot of shows in a particular genre and the crowd’s that small you’ll start to see some familiar faces at each show. You already have something in common which makes it easier to strike up a conversation.

      One band I like plays three nights at this large amphitheatre every year, and you basically have to camp there since there aren’t any hotels nearby. So I’ve also met friends out there since you get a whole weekend to hang out and if you go every year you run into other people who go every year.
