Making Friends at 28 Feels Impossible 😅
​
I'm 28m and new here. I've been struggling socially for most of my life, but over the past year it's gotten a lot worse. I used to have a decent group of online friends but I've found it really hard to maintain those friendships.
I am an engineer and work in the oil sector and interact with a lot of people every day, but I rarely feel like they really get me or share the same interests. It's hard to find people I genuinely click with.
Outside of work, I love reading books, watching movies, and getting lost in documentaries. I'd really love to make more neurodivergent friends.
I've tried turning acquaintances into actual friends, but the conversations always seem to fizzle out no matter how much effort I put in.
Has anyone else been in the same position? Any tips for finding your people as an adult?
