I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.

Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?

    I don’t know how to do it this generation style. In my gen, meeting through events and staying connected. Maybe you’re a parent with kids and the kids are friends, naturally you will mingle with other parents.

    Or join a sports team. You will quickly make friends there.

    Join some other events you like. I dunno, like beer brewing clubs or something…

    Thinking back how I made mine, most were from school, jobs, or sports. I had some internet friends but none of them were anything like my real local ones.
