How does someone who does actually wish to socialize with others, find other like-minded individuals? Like I go to a board game cafe, but there aren't people with an empty seat to fill - there's always already groups with more people than the game can accommodate, but none of the odd men out are...

I've yet to find a church where there's a group effort that involves people in my age group. Even as I've transitioned from my 20s to my 30s. I do understand how someone with kids or a married couple would have less free time, but those wouldn't be the ones who would join a group. Which basic...

Like for every sport I've asked anyone about, no one knows of a place to play, but if you just try to ask about what sport does have a local venue to meet people, everyone draws a blank. And yet somehow, without a local 3rd place, there aren't any people who know of a website or app that they...

Also, maybe humor / memes related to the above, but unlike Reddit it is possible to get a response other than a down vote by adapting to said community. Essentially positive posts or "look what I made" just go ignored or get down voted, but a problem looking for a solution also gets ignored...

Like even if the group in question doesn't specify an age range, what are Christians in their 20s / 30s usually doing to meet new people, assuming they have some free time to do so? Not everyone has that much free time, but those people wouldn't be in a group anyway, because they don't have...

What would be a long term benefit to voluntarily checking into an intensive outpatient program at the mental hospital, only for them to give you just a generic list of all services that they could find anywhere, regardless of relevance to your condition or not? Assuming that all the group...

It's not so much that choosing not to argue about something trivial still results in an argument. It's more that when I look back on times where I took the high road by not pushing back, there was never a job that I kept or a friendship that I kept by doing so. For all the jobs where a bully...

What I'm looking for is some way to maintain a relationship with former coworkers after leaving a job so that I have a reference if needed.

I live in a relatively highly populated area, yet, it's exceedingly rare to meet people anywhere who either like their job or have a "solitary" hobby outside of work or have a social life (including a hobby group or general hangout group) Even volunteering for a charitable cause only helps me...

Unfortunately most of the people I've met at work don't use social media or LinkedIn. In the exceedingly rare "unobtanium unicorn" case of someone having an account there, they inevitably never post anything or reply to messages. (Unless you count blocking someone who simply said "hello" as a...

Most places I've worked, there aren't really any opportunities to cover for people or assist them in their duties, or provide for them in other ways. At the same time, none of them do something after work that lends itself to other people being involved or accept invites on your part. Even if...

For every life lesson I've learned, like petty things to not argue about or make a big deal about, there have been exactly 0 opportunities to avoid an argument about something. When it's just between peers, people just ghost you out of nowhere, no rhyme or reason. You could lose someone you've...

Everyone who I prayed for a better relationship in their future, without fail, found a worse one. Even people I probably wouldn't have seen or contacted again, I always end up finding out that their life just kept getting progressively worse. 100% of any real life relationship success stories...

Thanks. Things aren't that bad, but I'll keep that in mind in case I'm actually ever that upset. Actually, one of the things that got me banned from a mental health support subreddit, is simply posting that one should also consider their local hotline to be an option. Because there's almost...

I still have the box set on DVD! It was hard to find on streaming for a while, but now it's reappeared. But I'm holding onto the DVDs until the day they die.
