How do I make friends? I have fairly poor social skills and have disconnected from pretty much my entire family. Both my mother and father no longer want to talk to me.
I'm going to graduate soon and don't have many friends from my college programs, mostly just other engineers I worked with on projects. Soon I'm going to have to just work full time, most of the time so the bit of spare time I have I'd like to form cultivating some relationships with others.
I don't even mind if it's stuff like volunteering or church services or whatever. Mostly I'd just like to meet friends. Obviously I'll make friends with co-workers and stuff but it's important to have an "outside of work" sphere I think. My main hobby is video games if it helps.
>hurr durr video games aren't a hobby
yes they are shut up.

Go to bar. See dude sitting alone. Suit next to dude. Wait a while for an awkward feeling to see if he wants to talk. Comment on something going on in your immediate area. Ask about their job and try to get to talking about something they do. Share stories yourself. If you have similar interests try get his number and try to get together and do something.

I like Street Fighter, Guilty Gear, Mortal Kombat, King of Fighters. Also kind of into Overwatch but overall I'm more of a fighting fan.

this sounds like more how to find a boyfriend but I appreciate it. I'd definitely like to just meet more people who has similar interests.

Yeah don't knock the advice if you're having trouble. If you have weird interests that are not group activities there's really no other choice, other than spontaneously striking up conversation. Go to a local gaming store if you're into that.

i'm not knocking the advice, i'm gay so i don't mind that kind of advice.
But yeah, I'll try what people have said here in terms of meeting people who are more into competitive gaming or just hanging out at local game stores.

It'll be alittle uncomfortable at first because they will likely already be an established group and you'll be the outsider. Don't stop going unless they give you an obvious sigh of disliking your company. Don't forget to actually go find people. Honestly it's the most important part
