Like society should do better at getting people together. It's weird that we care about getting kids together to develop socially and emotionally and stuff but don't care about emphasizing that for adults too. You don't just stop growing at 18 or 22. People would be more connected and have more friends if there were more of a focus on having social spaces to socialize in. Not places you have to pay to get in mind you

Who is the person giving up in this situation? When you're a child it's fair to expect other people to organize your social gatherings, but past college you're grown ass adult and it's kind of on you to organize your own get togethers.

Go to a social club or sign up to a language class. Trust me, language classes are perfect to meet like minded people.

This. You're an adult now. Don't put the onus on others to set up social events for you.

Parks, community centers, church, festivals and fairs...not really any shortage of places to go for free if you want to socialize with folks from what I've seen.

I met one of closest friends at a grocery store while I was irritating my wife because I thought it was funny. Just like go out in the world. I'm not particularly outgoing and won't make the first move, but the world has a lot of people that are. Just be wherever they are.

Last year I moved to a country where I literally knew nobody at all and didnt even speak the language. I now have many friends here.

If you find it hard to socialise because youre isolated, you need to stop yourself from being isolated. Its usually a choice.

Yes, my point is that I can't have friends and keep this lifestyle.

Much harder to find NEETs at my age.

Except when us teachers are expected to allow students to earn those diplomas and degrees and we get stuck with low-paying employment.

$47,000 for a 10 month contract. No pay in the summer, which forces us all to get a second job.
