oh :slight_smile: thats a totally valid problem to have imo, it can be hard to find friends with similar interests, or who have time to attend events. however, it can also be mildly dangerous to look for friends on the internet, as there are many catfishers, predators etc.

some suggestions i have:

  • you could just go to events alone and not think too much of how others may perceive you
  • find like-minded people at the event itself, strike conversations with fellow alone event-goers :3, you could make a bunch of friends this way!
  • join school/work clubs or reputable outside organisations to broaden your social circle, and hopefully make friends with similar interests

Im not really a fan of super crowded events, but i’ve went on my own before. like mandai, most friends aren big fan of animals or dw to be sweaty, movies i go on my own.
With the rise of covid and infectious illness, also better not to go now

Actually I like going out on my own and having that alone time, it’s much easier to arrange and you don’t have to compromise (in case you and your friend have different opinions) haha

I totally agree and I think there are many others in the same boat as well. There are so many places where I want to go but have no one to go with. It can feel really anxious to go somewhere alone.
Here are some things I did and suggestions for you to try:

  1. go to the event and find new friends there!
  2. post on your social media to find if any of your mutuals share the same interest (keeping in mind not to go with complete strangers as it may be dangerous!)
  3. go to the event alone anyways and try not to mind what others think

Well I like to go to concerts but my music taste doesn’t really align with what my friends like. So when I get there alone, I simply strike up a conversation with the person sitting next to me. I ask them things like what their fav songs are from the artist and since when they have been following the artist. At the end of the day, I would have made a new friend.
