Hallo everybody (peace bros and girls).

I'm beginning to feel lonely and I get pretty paranoid in big crowds and parties.
How do you physically meet new people and at what places can people be met?

Maybe im going crazy but it feels like Im becoming less human and more robotic :(
If anyone can give me some advice I would appreciate it alot.

The friends I have at the moment dont really talk to me.
 
How old are you? I met my friends in school and uni.
 
Im 18
Ive been alone for a year now, im not in school but I study online.

And this loneliness is starting to take its toll on me.:(
 
Traditional hobbies / recreational activities are typically best for making friends. If you are in school or university then you have the advantage of having access to student societies that typically cover a wide range of interests. If you aren't in school or university, there are still plenty of group activities all over the place that are accessible to the public.

Find a club / group / etc that does something you're interested in.
Be sure to go every week.
Make an effort to talk to people without being creepy.
If you're not happy with the people at the club you chose, try another.
 
Thank you.
I try talking to my so called friends but maybe they are the wrong people.

I also want to know.
In a night club how do you greet someone?
I dont think a person can come up to a random group and start asking questions.
Can they?
 
Join a club of something that interests you (running, model airplanes, graffiti artists, anything). You'll immediately have something in common with the other <insert club name> weirdos and make friends based on the mutual interest.

Thinking you'll meet people in night clubs is weird. Maybe there is a club for weirdos who do that.
 
I will try looking for clubs.
There aren't many clubs around the place I live but its worth a try right :)

Thank you all so much for your input.
If I have any luck or not I will update or put a new thread.

Peace everyone :)

Sorry man but I dont drink or smoke.

Hahaha funny video though funniest thing I saw the whole day.
Well I will remember that when I get a girlfriend.

Hopefully she wont be that young because that would be sick, creepy and aganst the law.

Join a gym or even better participate in Parkrun.co.za - you will be able to meet a ton of people and most female runners particpate in Parkruns which occur every Saturday at 8am. Very casual/relaxed environment with many people socialising.

Night clubs are synonymous with drinking.

IDs are usually checked too...
 
I will have a look at the parkruns

And I was thinking about running with other people in the neighbourhood but then again it would be awkward
to come up to a random person and start a chat. :D

And ive never been to a night club so... yeah.
Ive heard that some night clubs arent specifically orientated around alcohol.

Parkrun is better than trying to start a chat with runners in the neighbourhood. I am not sure where you are based, but the Woodlands Parkrun (Woodmead/Jozi) is great as it is in the office park, has ample parking with toilet facilities and a coffee shop where runners hang out before/after the run. The trick is to take less than 30min for the 5km as everyone waits for all runners to finish (some take up to an hour) - so a great opportunity to hang out and chat and it is easy to strike a conversation (i.e. "how long have you been running", "how long did it take", "what running watch are you using" right up to "I am going to get some coffee from the shops, do you want to join me" - dead easy).
 
OP talks/types like a robot too....
@OP, instead of studying online, why not do some of your classes at a college or university? You'll meet people of your peer and you'll have something to talk about.
 
I will do some research on it.
It sounds very interesting.
Im in martial arts for 4 years still going.
No those guys don't talk to me more like look at me weirdly.

I might be good at parkruns if there is one around the area.

And my college is in Johannesburg.
Its why I study online.
 
And your right I do type like a robot.
:(

But it will change.
