What do people my age do in America these days? I just turned 31, and I have NEVER been able to find anyone to hang out with. I missed out on my childhood and teen years because I'd walk or bike all over my neighborhood and not find any other kids or teenagers to play or hang out with. So my only option for entertainment was video games and the internet. And now I've missed out on my 20s too. My life is just passing me by and I have zero fun experiences or good memories. I don't even qualify as a person.

Where the hell is everybody? I hate not being able to go anywhere or do the things I want to because there's either no one there or everyone who is there is decades older than me.

Stay away from liberals they do weird clicky shit that only follows their clickiness. Never do they listen to common sense as they are already lost once they get on their state of mind. Yeah 75% of hot women are those types and 25% don't want to deal with anything. But it ain't worth it bro. Just party with us outsider people who play with a happy sack ball while everyone driving past us throws McDonald's extra large cups at us, honks at us, gives us middle fingers, calls the cops on us, and yell at us to get a job.

Idk about you, but I'm busy unfucking the metal roof on my house because tge previous owner didn't put washers on the damn screws.

no shit the best majority of people don't learn to socialize just free roaming. that's what school is for dumbass.
>>
>>33669253
I’ll hang out with you man. I’m definitely not in my 30s though but I’m living your past life right now

>>33669647
Fuck college
>>
>>33669682
I'm not talking about college I'm talking about school. like primary school. that's where people learn to socialize and make friends
>>
>>33669253
I'm your age. My town was full of inbred retsrds. I got along with nobody and fucking hated that place. I haven't been back in 12 years and I hope I never have to. I'm not even religious but I refuse to be buried in that shithole in the off chance the after like ties your soul to where your body is and I end up in that shithole purgatory town for eternity.
>So my only option for entertainment was video games and the internet.
This is what I did in my teens. And my 20s. And I'm 31 and still do this. Except I got better at software and started doing all the tech work and build game communities around my work. Since I'm in charge I viscerally eject all tranny and other faggot shit from my communities. I have to keep them civil otherwise so they're actually welcoming places and not /pol/ but in Discord form.

I am 24 living the same life except I chose to live this way. I am Autistic ADHD and people are painfully boring and plain it pisses me tf off to hang out with them. I just wake up, eat, work on my computer, hit the gym, bust one off on my hot latina gf and sleep. it's a good life.
>>
>>33669696
That does no good if nobody there lives in your neighborhood.
>>
I’m 35 and I don’t have any friends. When I’m not at work; I’m in social isolation at home
>>
>>33669253
I had a similar childhood except I was older and we didnt get internet til I was like 15 or 16. I did have friends in my 20s into 30s but time is running out for you. Get out there before you hit a wall at 35-36. Don't worry about childish things, get a relationship and be committed. Go have kids and give them what you missed.
>>
>>33669253
There are clubs, organizations, teams for just about any hobby or interwest. Join one.

How do you find them? If all else fails, google "[activity] clubs [city]"

e.g. "Hiking clubs Detroit"
>>
>>33670890
>get a relationship and be committed. Go have kids and give them what you missed.

I don't give a fuck about that, I want the childhood experiences I never had. Then I can move on to adult things.
>>
Why not make online friends that are in your state? Then yall can have a meetup and done you got some friends and have people to have fun experiences with.

But if you want that faster, you have to be more social. Don’t be a pushover of course but yeah just socialize with your coworkers or even at family events (people bring friends to those).

Idk a lot of yall I’d totally befriend irl but obviously doing this online is a lot harder.
>>
>>33671461
I can't socialize with my coworkers because I have none on my shift that aren't 10+ years older than me. It's mostly women at that, married women. Most of my coworkers are older and married.
>>
>>33671424
>Then I can move on to adult things.
Move on anyway you coping nigger.
>>
>>33671476
You can't be an adult without being a child first. I never had a childhood due to being isolated.
>>
>>33671489
You weren't isolated. You went to school surrounded by other people your age, for years.
You chose isolation.
>>
Actually you should befriend those married women! They’ll usually know people that are single or younger that maybe they can introduce you to.

It’s always helpful to network. Sure you don’t want to actually hang out with those old coworkers but you never know who they know that they could get you into contact with.
>>
When I was growing up I barely had any friends and qas juat a loner and drifter. Then in college I got friends or at least had a few groups I could hop to if one fell apart. Now at 35 I have no one. The one person I mainly talk to I don't have a real connection with and the more I talk to them the more I fucking hate them. I used to be able to just throw people like them away but now I have no one else. I don't which is worse being alone or being in a shitty relationship.
>>
>>33671497
I was fucking bullied at school, so yes, I was isolated.
>>
>>33671497
What good does that do him if none of those people live near him, preventing him from seeing them outside of school? You can't form a friendship with someone you only interact with at school
>>
That sucks I’m sorry. Is there anywhere else you can make friends or socialize?
>>
>>33671654
Really? So you were bullied by every last other kid at your school? No exceptions? And you did nothing to stand up for yourself, or maybe even alter your behavior so you wouldn't be bullied in the future?
That's some impressive level of victimhood OP.
>>33671665
This is cope because if he truly lived that far from everyone else they wouldn't all be in the same school to begin with.
>>
>>33671950
Not everyone lives within walking distance of each other, even if they go to the same school.
>>
>>33671968
Did I say everyone is within walking distance?
Why does it have to be walking distance specifically? Do you live in some third world country where no one has access to vehicles and/or public transportation? Not even bicycles?
And even if you do...why did this somehow not stop all the other kids from hanging out with each other but it did stop you?
>>
>>33671968
>>33672121
NTA but a lot of socializing just happened in the breaks.
That would have almost everyone given a somewhat decent start.
But, you get less skill points if you're differently abled.
Differently abled.
>>
>>33672696
>just happened in the breaks.
Which actually means, during classes, unless they sat next to you, you would be exchanging little papers with notes of one or two sentences on them.
At best a couple in an hour.
By doing this you already were at least in the top 75%

I'm 32 and only have two good friends I've known for more than 10 years. I still hang with a couple women from my last job on occassion but my two buddies are my true friends. At this age it takes effort to maintain friendships and if I lose them I don't think I'll ever make more friends, at least never of this length and quality.

Im really not sure what to tell you OP, sorry.
>>
>>33671950
>And you did nothing to stand up for yourself, or maybe even alter your behavior so you wouldn't be bullied in the future?

I punched the bullies in the fucking face and reported them to teachers and principals, but that didn't make them stop, it just made it worse.

>>this entire thread

OP is a compulsive "character" reposter that ignores all advice and only lives to repost the same thread for months and years.

He's been posting this "I can't find anyone my own age/where do all the young people hang out these days" thread for years, often several times a week.

>>33674609
Hey should we keep going? OP sure has a hard time finding people his own age and where are all the young people hang out these days when all he does is repost the same thread day after day.

There used to be social groups but women joined them, then they accused men of joining to fuck them, then men stopped going, then women stopped going.
You got to just solo hobby now
