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?

Your methods are old school. People have no leisure time as they used to. As the current generation we are facing the worst of divide and rule policy of the past, and we are bearing the fruit now. Each one of us have developed inhibitions in meeting people in public. Most are too sensitive these days and just don't tolerate a bit of overture from any stranger. The text messaging world has also narrowed people's mind from conversations. Everyone expect things to happen fast.

So only sites like these can help in making friends as you can develop an online relationship. And most females expect the males to come forward and approach. But that world is gone. So you too need to initiate conversations.
