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?

That's exactly how I feel. I don't know if this is just the nature of adult life sadly. Martial arts classes have been good for that but it's only for an hour.

People in my work are nice but it doesn't leave the building if you get me and I don't have much in common. Tbh my hobbies atm are kicking people, watching Crunchyroll and videogames so 🤷😂

@Mordechai Yes sadly. I notice that as well, in the work place the common pleasantries do not seem to leave that area. I feel this is the case in other places as well. Kicking people? 😲
