How to socialize after school? I'm 19 years old and graduated from school a few months ago, all my contacts from school disappeared for various reasons and now I am lonely.I don't know how to socialize, at school or part-time job it was always natural, but now I don't know what to do. If it can help, I am mainly interested in art, literature, games and STEM stuff.

>>32328118I'm not, I graduated from high school a few months ago, went to work almost immediately and I'm now waiting for a response from another.
it took some trials and errors but i think i kinda figured the meta to make friends after high school (it ended two years ago for me)1)random encounters are your main weaponlet’s say you make eye contact multiple times with someone while shopping or doing sports or smth,just try to casually begin a convo with a joke or smth light hearted,try to chit chat a bit and at the end just ask for their socials where you’ll reply to their story and engage even more contact,then propose them to hangout or do smth cool and tell them to bring friends w them if they wish soit may sound retarded but ive made +20 friends like this 2)clubbing,watching sports event live at bars etc are perfect for this kind of shittry watching a sport event live and pay attention to who is supporting which team/athlete in the bar,and whenever the team/athlete wins smth and the groups in the bar inevitably start celebrzting just lowkey celebrate with them and laugh w them,start a bit of convo about whatever sport is olaying and at the end grab their socials like step 1same shit with clubbing,just wait for a «can’t miss»song and as soon as the chorus begins just vibe with the nearest group of friend and from then on start a little convoi can give more advices if u want
>>32328164>1)I don't live in US, I think in my culture cold approaching and just talking to random people after eye contact isn't a popular thing>2)Completely out of my interests, I have never been interested in sports in that way. Also I hate clubbing and partying, I don't like alcohol and don't even want to know people who go to this type of places. When I hear clubbing I see dumb zoomer instagram and tiktok brainwashed drolling retards. Bars would be okay but with people I already know.
>>32328219you could volunteer and meet people through thattake a community college class (whatever the equivalent of that in your country is)place of worship
may i ask which country you’re from?also if you hate clubbing so bad there’s a third way to potentially make new friends and it’s done by pumping the living shit out of your current friendswhat i mean by that is,try to hang out more with the people you already know and natutally you’ll get presented to the rest of their social circles and here goes the infinite friends glitch
>>32328243Volunteering sounds okay but I don't really know what kind of it should I consider.What do you mean by place of worship?>>32328260Central EuropeAs I said in OP after high school I don't have any friends.
>>32328339I mean church, and picI volunteered for a soup kitchen and EMS (fire/ambulance) and made friends and a gf for a while, we're broken up now but still.
>>32328431Okay, but how I'm supposed to socialize at church?
