@YellowTurtleee All I can say is that the books - "Subtle art of not giving a fuck", and "How to win friends and influence people" was a great help. Other than that, just finding a physical activity like gym or kickboxing made a big difference.
@YellowTurtleee part 1 Hey Turtle😃, I hear you. Making friends is for sure not easy. Video games have been the foundation for majority of my friendships. Meet someone online, at work, at the gym or at an event and then straight away grasping for something in common. I don't really have advise.
