If there’s a club at ur school that u have an interest in join up,
If not, local bar or club
If not gaming helps but I wouldn’t recommend it because long distance friends aren’t the same tbh.
It sucks trying to make friends out of highschool, I’m m24 my friend group is pretty diverse in terms of personality status etc. but one friend I have (he’s pretty much pauly d gym bro social butterfly) gave me good advice — “don’t let others scare you, in this day and age everyone wants to be mysterious and quiet, but what really gets people is just being open and friendly”
I’ll expand on his advice and say add a little confidence and you’re golden broski
I also have a friend who’s autistic (HFA really smart kid) , he’s a year older than me and he actually had to move states, for a while I was his only friend (Probbaly wondering how I’m friends with a gym bro and an autistic kid)
(I like sports and I like reading)
Anyway he was just like u, loop of college and life, but still if you knew him, he’s not a social butterfly by any means, but he managed to find friends by doing just that, don’t be the quiet kid, and eventually it’ll benefit
It can be as simple as chiming in at the right time about a topic you like and enjoy bro. U got this, and ur whole life ahead, trust.

This sounds so much like me, especially the talking to others and being blanked part. I may as well be invisible with how often it happens, lol.
