I previously made a now-deleted post somewhat related to this topic in the wrong community SHHHHHH. This is more broad.

Barring friends of friends, I have not made a new friend ever outside of school. As someone with a really niche personality, it’s hard to be brave enough to approach new people–nobody’s as weird as I am. I actually used to have a friend group that fit my personality, but it dissolved due to more drama than I can even comprehend. That’s why I’m in this situation, was all of that.

I’ve chosen not to go to college. That’d be my best outlet for meeting new people, but I simply don’t want to deal with debt. So, my time to meet as many people as possible has been cut somewhat short.

There’s a saving grace, though. I’m a furry–this is the niche personality part. Cons would be great, but, to keep it short, I just don’t have that capability right now. I’m not even IT yet, but my fate is sealed.

In the meantime… I am very bored. Thanks for reading.

    Furry is definitely niche. Is there a local group where you can meet others? Facebook or meetup.com?

    Do you work? That’s the next place to meet others.

    And then there’s online friends! Digital pen pals. OOOOhhhhh I just dated myself.

      I’d have to do some digging. As for work, my workplace is very much not the kind of place you’d meet furries. It’s a senior wellness place, and I suspect the employees are all Trump supporters…?

      My job is to mask up all day, regardless.
