okay so... 33m in Ontario, work in cybersecurity from home, live alone. lost my dog last week and the apartment is way too quiet now -- that's honestly the reason I'm finally posting something.

working remote means I can go entire days without actually talking to anyone and I'd like to fix that.

I play bit of CS2 (badly) for the action, just started learning DnD because I need to get out of the house and someone from local subreddit setup a game.

Evenings I'm either at the gym (lifting heavy keeps the demons away some days), on the squash court, and over the last couple of years I've caught the outdoorsy bug - backpacking, camping, and 10+ km hikes most weekends.

Looking to chat. nothing weird, just conversation to keep my mind sane - random stuff, dumb memes, hearing about your day, whatever. weekdays get long living alone.

discord is terminal.dream, otherwise dms work too.

Lifting heavy keeps the demons away. Introvert, sarcastic, but the friendly kind not the mean kind (I hope).

Anyone want to chat on discord? terminal.dream

I've been alone pretty much my whole life. Moved around every couple of years growing up and didn't learn to make strong friends. Skipped classes and didn't socialize in uni. Work has been remote for the last 10-12 years.

I used to like it >> gave me enough time to focus on my "goals." But I have everything I need now and no one to share it with.

I don't know how to connect with people. I've been pushing myself out the last few years in hopes of finding my group — joining social meetups, sports leagues, going to the gym — but it feels pointless tbh.

I just can't fit in with the guys. Women don't want anything to do with me. I've been so isolated for so long that I feel like a kid around everyone. Almost everyone seems to have figured out the life stuff, and I was never told about it.

I lost my dog last week. 10 years, and she's gone. The house is quiet. No more morning walks. No more running around the house. Loneliness is hitting hardest right now.

I'm(33M) a looking to get into backcountry camping. I'm a beginner (2 trips) and would prefer not to go solo -- are there any local groups I can tag along with?

Thanks!
