You can't find real "community" on the internet.
Shut down the xbox, log out of social media, and turn off Netflix.
Go out to dinner. To shows. Events. Drinks.
The older you get the more content you are to "stay in" and the more uncomfortable making friends gets.
FIGHT THIS.

People also try to “find” friends by walking around with their hand out trying to figure out who can help them or add value to their lives.
Flip that script.
Try to become a person others want to be friends with.
Work on yourself!

People want to be friends with two types of people:
Those who are into unique, interesting things or share stuff in common and have the energy to make shit happen.
And people who challenge them intellectually and make them a better version of themselves.

People don’t like:
Complainers, gossipers, victims, losers, and people who drain them emotionally with all the problems they refuse to take ownership over.
Get your shit together!

Making friends and building a strong community takes WORK that most people aren’t willing to do.
It doesn’t happen automatically.
Get uncomfortable and work at it.

People depend on family here way too much when they have nothing / little in common.
You can enjoy and spend quality time with family… but…
Build relationships outside of that!
Be your own person and build your own identity.

And if your high school friend group is still hanging around the same old bars and doing the same old loser stuff packing on a few pounds each year and shooting the shit about sports or whatever…
Get new friends!
