Your username is “gigachad” and you never considered the option of going to a gym on weekdays? Not going to say I have made lifetime friends at the gym but I have nice conversations with other regulars fairly often, it’s a good serotonin top-up.
Even works for finding romantic partners as well if you’re not creepy about it, in fact two regulars at my gym just got married.
There’s always the bar as well but of course alcohol-based socializing is not quite so healthy.
- Gigachad 4y agoYes I’ve spent significant time at the gym. It doesn’t fill the void of spending 8 hours working alone. I have so many great memories of work from 6-3 years ago, but 3 to now is just a void, sitting at home on Teams calls. What makes things worse is my city has the oldest population in the country so there is hardly anything going on outside of work as well. I've made the decision to move to a bigger city where I can work in office with everyone along with every other benefit of a larger population.
- watwut 4y agoTo be fair, gym is fairly individual activity here. You will be seen as annoying if you try to interact with others.
- projectazorian 4y agoThat’s why I do classes, there’s usually way more social interaction, not to mention access to coaching (which I strongly believe many solo lifters would benefit from)
