I am just fed up of being alone. Since my grade 12 ended in 2018, my social life has been mess. Most of my day is just dull, it's just work for Sunday to Friday, 10AM to 6PM, and it takes half to one hour to reach home, and I am so tired to do anything after that. So I just listen to music, watch anime/TV shows/films/), read fictional books/comic/manga, and go to sleep. Only Saturday I am free and even then I am too tired from the work of the whole week to go out, and I either entertain myself or practice my skills graphic design, art writing, or watch tutorials on tattooing, graffiti, songwriting, etc. I used to be addicted to social media FB, Instagram, reddit, etc but I rarely use them now aside from when I really need it. I don’t know how to make new friends in real life.
My old friends from school / college are busy or they went abroad, I had friends outside of that but they were formed because of my addiction to weed, cigarettes and alcohol, and going to bars and few years ago, I am completely sober now and I have no contact with them after I stopped taking these drugs. I am not interested in bars and clubs after I stopped taking drugs, I never like the whole thing either, I just went because my friends went, and also never like the bars and clubs play hindi songs.
Any advice on how to maintain my social life now based on my current interests I mentioned above? Where can I go to socialize? In real life? I am not interested in online friendships or places like discord because I used to be chronically online and social media just feels junk food socializing.
