How can I make new friends in real life

I know it depends on the region too but please any ideas help. Being a young adult that doesn’t club, I have been unable to find any new friends.

The weird part is, I’m extroverted. I have my lifelong friends, but I want more and don’t know how.

Any tips would be appreciated on where to go for new friends

If Allah wanted us to know something, wouldn’t it be in the Quran? Why have it in man made Hadiths? (E.g: how to pray).

I hope this is okay to post in this subreddit, I’m not really sure if this counts as a critique but I don’t know where else to ask my question, the r/islam didn’t allow me to.

Anyway for context I’m still learning about Islam so please be patient with me, but I’ve had this same question for so long. I know that we are meant to pray 5 times, and I know how to pray - but sometimes it doesn’t feel authentic to me because it wasn’t explicitly all said in the Quran.

The way we pray and when we pray comes from Hadiths, and yes we are meant to listen to Prophet Muhammad’s sayings, but at the end of the day, if the 5 prayers are so important I don’t understand why it wasn’t stated in the Quran?

I see Quran as most important because it is Gods word, so I don’t necessarily understand why we must follow Hadiths, they are written by humans and could be false.

Sounds like a slop life but I actually needed it, haven’t rested like this in ages. The chocolate is perfect, and shrek 3 soundtrack is the best I’ve ever heard in a movie so shoutout to that. Live and let die 🎶🎶

We both come from conservative families. I have seen instances/actions/hints that affirm that they are closeted, but I know nothing is solidified until I hear the words verbatim.

I haven’t told this person that I am queer so there’s a barrier. I don’t know if it’ll ever go forward from just being a simple crush if we don’t have that conversation.

I keep hoping that they will make the first move, but I know that’s not realistic. I don’t know what to do.

How can I grow it!? For some context…:

I’ve dyed my hair consecutively for a few years, it’s my only way of expression. It has almost been a year since I’ve stopped, and I do see a lot of my roots showing, which shows that I do grow hair. However, i cannot retain the length at all. It simply stays at shoulder length.

So now, my hair looks fried and thin (the dyed parts, which is understandable) but it also won’t grow. It has been this way for years now, and it genuinely frustrates me because I only feel confident when my hair is long.

I know that sounds shallow, but I do mourn my virgin hair. Does anyone have any tips to help?
I currently condition/bond repair/hydrate, and I oil my hair. I don’t use heat. I do trims every few months.

I don’t know what I am doing wrong
