Rant It’s getting extremely depressing here without friends..

been here for a while, i’m 28 and i tried almost everything to socialize and make friends but everyone here seems so mean for no reason and you have to chase people for one normal friendship or hangout. They always ghost after the first hangout you’d think you’re on a dating app or something and im so tired i even went out of my comfort zone and still nothing..

I know this isn’t like a friendship subreddit or app but if any foreigners here wanna be friends reach out it would be great :’)

i’m 28, from lebanon i like genshin impact anime going to the movies and experimenting with everything when it comes to going out and adventuring. i like photography art i speak english and arabic and im currently learning turkish

You need to find same people do same hobbies like you. I find my friends half of them from cosplay/anime cons. Of course everyone is not a same mindset but different routes need different approaches.

People really want to socialize but they also don’t want to socialize since early 2020.
