I'm very introverted, so loneliness was usually not a big problem for me. But now I feel like I just need some more people to talk to. Just something else to do besides work.

How do you all do it?

    I assume you're a cis-het guy? Not gonna lie it's gonna be tough going to events solo, as a single guy automatically puts many people's defenses up. Also tbh you're not gonna find great advice on hexbear when it comes to specifically male loneliness issues. It might be better to find a site/forum that specifically caters to that.

        Ask an animal shelter if you can volunteer to walk the dogs.

        Get a gym membership, and if anyone looks at you funny, say “I have no idea what I’m doing, advice is appreciated.”

        Learn the hobbies of 2 coworkers and ask about them.

        Look at meetup.com for things in your area.

        Sit in a park and read poetry. Eventually a girl will approach as long as you focus on reading (it might take days, poetry girls are shy).
