I don't know how to meet people like me in person and not online

I'm a 25 year old girl and I'm super into horror movies, alt music spanning many genres, smoking weed, the occasional margarita, chilling outside and going out on adventures and being social. Just a normal person here! But everybody my age that I work with or meet either has social anxiety or is just at the clubs shaking their ass every night, and that's NOT my scene. I want a friend who wants to get in the pit at Rockville, or go with me to Halloween Horror Nights. I was sort of getting closer to my coworker but then she recommended the song Itty Bitty by Ashnikko and I realized very quickly we have nothing in common. I had another friend that I went to a concert with and she wanted to stand in the back because the crowd made her uncomfortable!!!! This isolation and loneliness is making me extremely depressed

Why do I keep thinking I'll meet somebody when I go to events alone

I went to Halloween Horror Nights alone hoping I'd meet somebody, I went to Rockville alone hoping I'd meet somebody. I'm hot, I'm cool, I'm fun, I'm social... But nobody talks to me. It's so damn lonely and depressing, I just see all these guys with their friends groups or their girlfriends or they're just gay, and nobody ever approaches me or tries to talk to me. I'll strike up conversation but it's short lived because they're with other people usually. I keep thinking one day I'll meet somebody without resorting to the shallow nature of dating apps and filtering through the people that just want to hook up. But it's really really depressing me coming back from these things alone.

How strict was the bag policy yesterday?

I have a crossbody bag that measures 4x8 and I'm concerned it won't be allowed in. But right across the street at Bass Pro shop they are selling slightly larger bags at their Rockville Supply stand. I'm wondering how it went yesterday for everybody.

Totally effortless and painless, elbows to ankles, palms on the ground. My old doctors said they had never seen anything like me. Excited to finally hear from some other bendy people

I've always just thought I was born wrong, I never knew why I had SO MANY weird, unrelated things wrong with me. When I was growing up (before I had corrective knee surgeries for my excessive femoral anteversion and other issues) I could turn my legs inwards so far that I could walk with my knees and feet facing backwards. I can move my arms from behind my back to in front of me without unlocking my fingers. I can touch my thumbs to my wrist, I can touch my elbows to my ankles with my knees locked.

I get random muscle jerks and spasms in my arms and legs. My nails peel apart and break easily, sometimes painfully fsr back. They're always bendy and weak no matter how strong and thick they are! So much so that nail polish and fake nails won't stay on me to save my life. My gums have always bled, my teeth are slightly misaligned, I've got awful crowding and my molars have crumbled to sad little nubs at just 25 years old. I get intensely painful and debilitating 30-60 second migraines that are sometimes accompanied by a random body pain (i.e. stomach cramp, arm cramp, back of neck pain, pressure behind one eyeball).

I have extremely dry skin on my hands, feet, and lips; they often crack and bleed if I don't apply moisturizer and lip balm several times a day every day. My toes and heels have deep painful craters and canyons that bleed and continue to reform after I've smoothed them out for hours. I keep hand cream in my pocket at work at ALL TIMES because it's unbearable. Before I found creams that work for me, my hands were wrinkled and scaly and cracked but it wasn't like eczema, just showing as if I was very dehydrated even when I drink tons of water.

I could go on and on about things I'm reading about this syndrome that line up with my life. I'm just very emotional knowing I'm not mysteriously screwed up; it's all ONE thing. With a name.

The photo added is Sally Hansen 2 Step Miracle Gel polish peeling right off after applying it last night. But whether I do ANY store bought polish with a top coat, or go to the salon and get a gel overlay, or even get acrylic nails applied! They will pop off, peel off, slide off, within a week usually. Acrylics can last two to three sometimes.

I don't do anything abnormal, the most activity my hands see is laundry and dishes.

Restaurants won't hire me without experience because it's the busy season. I finally had an interview scheduled all week, and two hours before I get a text cancelling it. I call and reschedule for tomorrow. Then late tonight I get another text saying it's cancelled again and all positions are filled.

I love guests, I'm great with people, I'm not even being given the opportunity to introduce myself. I feel like the Universe is kicking me and dooming me to stay in retail

Knock kneed, pigeon toed, and bow legged all my life (excessive femoral Anteversion 11° rotation in the left and 15° rotation in the right) , and I've got pretty severe hypermobility.

I was always pretty hunched over, but four knee surgeries, leg braces, and ten years later, I'm finally able to really stand up straight. Only issue is that once my knee pain was gone, my back began killing me. Lower back, middle back, sometimes spreading down the backs of my thighs or up into my shoulders. It's a dull ache, sometimes it'll make my legs have spasms and jerk like they were electrocuted. It's a source of constant discomfort.

I feel like I want to lay on the floor and have somebody jump on me, or I need a bodybuilder to crunch my spine. I make frequent jokes about wanting a turn on The Rack.

After my surgeries I was in PT for 7 months but they just focused on my legs all that time, never my back. And I'm scared to absolute death of a chiropractor, I've seen too many bad videos.

I know beggars can't be choosers and I'm very happy being able to walk, but damn I wish I could make this go away

I follow every technique from tutorials I've watched I can produce a pretty decent sound but it's not ever loud and it burns man it burns. I'm obviously doing something wrong and not figuring it out.

I can fry scream like nobody's business but that's the only thing that comes really easily.

There's a section on the app to file your favorite attractions but there's nothing listed there or on the website. I know some people on here are deep diving social media followers that know everything somehow

I'm going alone, I'll have a bag, water. I already know I can't. I'm just wishful thinking

Edit: thinking of wearing a small crossbody bag, a crossbody water bottle holder, and throwing caution to the mf wind
