Making new 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?

You're the Pink Power Ranger, right? So you have enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection. We'll just forget about Rito Revolto for now.

@come2gether I wish! lol I wish I was a real power ranger so I can be bad ass and cool! lol hehe

@SW-User Don't we all! Put that suit on and Power UP! unfortunately, it's just the opposite for most of us. we get all dressed up to go out, and then wallflower the whole night. At least I'm guilty of that

@come2gether "SHIFT INTO TURBO!" or my favorite one "LET'S ROCKET!"

@SW-User They really did have great lines for that show!

SW-User

@come2gether Yes. I am such a nerd for liking power ranger at my old age lol!

come2gether · 46-50, M

@SW-User lol, I'm twice your age, and still remember that stuff. In fact, you just reminded me of Team Rocket on Pokemon..."Team Rocket Blasting Off Again!"

SW-User

@come2gether I was not a huge fan of Pokemon but I did love Dragon Ball Z as well!

@SW-User I have to admit, I watched it all with my nephew, so I don't have total recall of it all. I do remember how engaging it was and how funny some of the lines were though, Which is why I picked up on your PInk Ranger screen name

@SW-User guess that was the end of that, lol

SW-User

Sorry I just got the notification now! I don't watch power rangers anymore but I am still very fond of those memories and interested in cosplaying as one currently, the Cassie character comes to mind since that is my real name and since pink is also my favorite color hehe

@SW-User Oh, lol, thanks SW. I'm sure you would do great in the Pink Power Ranger costume at the next big cosplay even! You should plan that, you'll be in costume, people will come up to you to have their picture taken with you, and they'll want to talk and all that. It could be the perfect social event for you!

SW-User

@come2gether I've never been but I've always wanted to go to a convention but I always felt intimidated by it

come2gether · 46-50, M

@SW-User You won't be intimidated when you show up as a Power Ranger, trust me. Even think about the power rangers, as regular people, they were unsure about a lot of things. When they powered up though, BOOM, they knocked down giants

SW-User

@come2gether True! I will just morph and people will see my power lmaoo

come2gether · 46-50, M

@SW-User That's what I'm saying! Just morph for the event. Put on your Power Ranger inner desire and just do it. Think of all the women that show up to the major conventions in the basically naked body paint cosplay outfits. Now maybe they are exhibitionists, or maybe, they are just channeling somebody they think is stronger than them. Personally, I would rather meet a confident pink Power Ranger than one of the nearly naked gals. Buy your tickets and go.

@SW-User you just might meet your deadpool romance
