This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Yeah, my experience, too. People hang out with their friends in their friend groups. Just sucks that they don't seem to mix anymore. Networking doesn't work if there's neither opportunity nor interest.

It can be very relaxing to hang without outsiders

Do them same - hang out with your friend group, just have fun and don't press finding a relationship. You first get to know people through that group and later interest and maybe a relationship forms.

You do realize that in most cases it's lack of that friends group the whole problem?

Just get a girlfriend and join her friend group. Then after you've made enough friends, dump her and then you'll have your own friends.

Then go with your colleagues or any group for that matter, book a class about something as someone suggested. 90% of life is showing up.

If you're too disgusting for anyone to have around, work on yourself first (basic hygiene and not being an asshole is usually enough though).
