No gf, no friends, it’s hard to meet new people. Tinder and other apps don’t work. Idk even if I travel somewhere I’m alone

    It’s not just loneliness, my friend. It’s a brutal cycle. A prophecy foretold, one that you’ll probably have to get up and break with some difficult to find laughter and energy in a social setting. This doesn’t necessarily mean go to places. Find a Discord group, for instance.

    Hell, I started Jiu Jitsu 1. Because I need to lose weight and 2. Because I’d like to be around people at least some of the time when I’m not working.

      I also recommend martial arts, especially for socially awkward people, lessons are very directed so you don’t have to worry about what to do with your hands. There’s a style for everyone, artistic, traditional, competitive, self-defense etc…

      I read this like you started Jiu Jitsu 1 because you needed to lose weight and Jiu Jitsu 2 (the sequel) to meet people.
