This is something I talk to my therapist about a lot. I have friends, but only on Discord and they live several states away. So I've been doing several different volunteer jobs to try and meet people, but all that's gotten me is people way older than me or way younger neither of which I really feel comfortable becoming friends with. Only time so far I've met people around my age (I'm 30) is when I started going to PSL events like group readings or discussion groups. It's nice, but I also struggle to see myself hanging out with these people outside of these events to like play games or go somewhere.
