Introverts make friends by letting an extrovert adopt them.
Can confirm, my cousin adopted me and introduced me to their friends.
reminder to my fellow extraverts to treat their introvert extra well today, they might need it

LMAO what is this from? It looks hilarious!
It's from the movie Animal House. :) One of my favorite scenes ever (because who hasn't been that kid? lol).
Worked for me! Roommate was throwing a party and my now-wife got dragged along to it by her friend

It's really hard to meet people because all the people I want to know are hiding from humanity.
I don't want the type of person I'd meet at a bar and there really aren't many events for things I'm into around me. The people I'd like are more than likely like me, hoping I'd teleport into their living room just the same.
I'm also in a terrible place for my personality. It feels like I'm in materialistic asshat conservative HQ, so there's that too...

A buddy of mine got his first girlfriend in college after a family friend noticed that his single niece also liked manga and anime and introduced the two. I was very jealous of his attractive, nerdy girlfriend-turned-wife for several years until I finally got on a dating site and found love for myself.

yes, because putting yourself out there just gets you yanked around by assholes -- ask me how I know.
Either Mr. Right will fall out of the great blue sky directly into my lap, or I'll die alone. But I frankly no longer have the will to really put effort towards that, anymore; and I can't fathom criticizing anyone else for deciding the same. Hell truly is other people.
how do you know
not having a single person express genuine attraction and interest in me, in my life + the one time I thought I had that interest, after a few months, they dumped me on Christmas morning via text and said they essentially meant nothing of what they said before. Every single person before or since has either forgotten I exist or ghosted me outright within days or weeks of starting talking to them, even when they initiate. I suppose the novelty just wears off. Couple other highlights include the guy who used me as his therapist for a couple months until he forgot I existed when he got on antidepressants, and the guy who was over-the-top affectionate for weeks until apparently a switch flipped in his head and he became distant and quiet until ghosting me. And many more that I won't bore you with.
been slamming my head against that wall for 7+ years with absolutely no success, and I chose to stop trying for my own sanity. Sometimes you have to accept that some of the things you want out of life, are either simply not yours to have, or not in your control to obtain -- it's that or I keep raking myself over the coals trying to figure out what I don't have that others want, and I've done that for long enough.
and my story is just one of many, many people experiencing the hell that is other people.

I thought my problem was not going outside, but I recently saw a post about how most people meet online now.
So it turns out I just suck. That’s helpful to know
Tbf that is helpful info
I remember being surprised to realize/remember that there are (were?) totally kids that will knock on a new neighbor's door to ask their parents if they could come out to meet them and play
Imagine.. taking action to put yourself out there and meet friends. That's kinda wild

I saw The Secret in high school and I've just been following its advice of wishing really hard. 🤷🏻♂️

Quantum physics proves the chance of this happening isn't 0. Maybe if they wait long enough?
how else would i meet commander will riker, if not a transporter accident?
That post's gotta chill with the personal attacks, geez.
Ew, a stranger appearing uninvited in my house?
No, they can teleport to the driveway like a normal person, thankyouverymuch.
I mean, we are not 100% unfindable, we comment here on Lemmy! Normalize finding love through Lemmy (/jk).

Man I feel personally attacked
Ive been going out more and looking at it as practice for when I meet someone I actually like. Id hate to run them off because I'm some kind of cave creature who can't interact right
Have you not considered that you might run them off because you're a socially adroit cave creature that's out of their league?
You're right, I'm defeating my own cause. Better get back to the cave and start chanting
teleports behind you Nothing personal, kid.... But would you like to be the love of my life?

My spouse is a former roommate who more or less teleported into my living room.
...Along with 5 other people in a 2 bedeoom house.
But while it worked out for me I do not recommend it as a reliable strategy. We were lucky.
My SO was appointed directly into my room by a mutual friend, so it's not far fetched.

Is there another option?
This actually works, but only if you are willing to sponsor a green card.
I have seen many anime with this premise exactly
I'm fucking waiting!!
(Yet still need a notice, written notice, days ahead)
Ouch this one hurt, that's so fucking true 😔😔
I'm waiting for that day.
They better have brought Mario Kart N64 game and setup with them if they are really my future love.
