Making friends is hard in 2024

I have no friends at all. I've tried everyway you possibly can, going to activity groups, trying to start up random conversations with strangers, contact old peers that I used to be in contact with, but it always just fizzles out for whatever reason. I don't think I am that boring. I try my best to be engaged, listen and also talk but it seems like I am not important enough to maintain a connection, just a mere good conversation. Don't get me wrong I appreciate a good conversation at any time but some times I wish there was more to it then that. Am I the only one who feels this way? I just want to laugh, hang out and be myself with someone again if that is even possible today. Am I being too entitled?

@SW-User ok. There are some girl groups/ women groups on facebook. Just put in your city or town and put in the word girls or women with it.
Join them. Then put up a post that says "friend application" and write something up about yourself.

I see women doing it all the time. They'll put things like I dont smoke, dont drink or I like weed and playing guitar and cards or I love plants. Etc. They just put who they are and they dont have friends and would love some.
So many women usually reply and ask to be friends.

Many of us feel like that. Its not just you!
I had a huge group of female friends and discovered they all do hard drugs
Its not my thing and now I don't associate with anyone really.
I have thought of doing the friend application, but I remember that I dont have the time or mental energy to maintain too many friendships. I like the friends you can go a while without speaking to and know you're still friends. You can call one another if you need to

@Justgirl I see. I will definitely check it out. I'm just usually not too fond of online stuff. I usually try to meet people in person as people say that is the best way. I've tried online groups but ghosting seems more prevalent online. I will check it out however and I really very much appreciate your kind words and advice! Thank you ❤️🤗

@SW-User That makes sense! I would suggest meeting up as a group, somewhere local, For safety reasons as well. I hope it works out for you. You can also check out previous posts on there and see how women have written theirs up. Good luck! Also if you want an online friend, message me
