I definitely realized this about myself a long time ago, but the struggle really is intentionally finding new 2%ers. It's not the friendliest attitude to enter into new social spaces with the expectation and intent of filtering out 98% of the people in them. Especially upsetting is when there is misalignment: one person exited to find one of their 2% but unreciprocated. I've been on both sides and neither is pleasant. It's not something that can really be forced, has to happen somewhat organically, but you do have to be intentional if you wish to find new friends.
