I grew up in the US and I’ve had the same friend group since elementary and middle school. I ended up just leaving the country and everyone is so much more sociable now

Kava bars. Meet lots of weird and interest people. Both young and old.
I engage people online. Chat rooms, here, games, wherever.
Gotta let my anxiety of talking into a mic go lol but yeah this is my attempt here as well asking this lol
I just do text. Maybe later if I'm comfortable with a person we could voice chat. I can tend to be pretty non-verbal IRL, tho.
Yeah that’s what it’s starts as just a message here and there on PSN or something , but never really past that lol voice chatting is a thing I’m not too comfortable with I suppose if it isn’t someone I know but irl like for work and social events with some friends and meeting new people I’m usually ok lol
Preferably I wouldn't.
Imagine someone you never seen before walk up to you and says "Hello." Whatever you were thinking about is now irretrievably lost. Furthermore you now have to reply. Since it's not text, you gotta do it quickly. And quickly without thinking you reply "potato", realize what you just said, and awkwardly walk away.
Insert something about first impressions
People aren't going to be honest. The reality is that as an adult, you really don't.
