A few years ago I would wholeheartedly agree with you, but for me things have changed unfortunately.
Working in a startup job each day leaves me exhausted - not exhausted in regards to meeting people, but to planning such meetings. Too often I will just end up stuck to the internet.
The people I used to do things with either moved away or don't respond to such suggestions anymore.
Social circles seem to fall apart quickly without some condensation nuclei.
I hope working hours are getting more predictable now, so I will try the Meetup route.
- triplesec 9y agoI should use meetups more too. One mistake I have made is assuming that the first people that respond positively are going to be good friends, and compatible. Some natural sifting and more effort is needed even then. And self-examination and feeling as to what you want! I think this whole process helps us feel who we are. And projecting that, attracting similar-accepting humans. (while working on listning more and becoing better humans too!) / I think a bunch of people on here struggle, for obvious reasons no fault of our own, but there are definitely solutions to be found (see my other comment on this too nearby for one more). I'm reading and learning more here also.
