I love y'all, don't get me wrong, but I joined a weekly in-person DnD group a few weeks ago with some friends and that has done more for my mental and emotional wellbeing than this or any other website ever has.

It doesn't have to be a tabletop group, it doesn't even have to be a group, it can be one best friend that you're particularly close with, just get together with someone face-to-face and have a good time. Whether that's gaming, watching stuff or just plain ol' talking with eachother.

The point is: Get offline and interact with another human being.

Online friends are great, they are, but even today online shit just cannot compare to actually being around others and just doing...stuff together.

In conclusion: The general idea of "Touch Grass" isn't just a meme/insult, there's real truth to that shit.

    also on top of all that, finding one where you're "a member" and not "a member's annoying gf", what a nightmare...

      Oh man, that sucks. Half my friend group is just bfs/gfs of other friends.

      Some of the coolest people I know got introduced through other people's OKCupid adventures or some IRL dating.
