Where do I meet people it's okay to be poor around (like $0.42 in your bank account poor)? I'm going to be poor until I graduate, or until my depression lifts and I can handle school and work simultaneously.

People at the transit center (train to NY and busses) are pretty friendly, maybe because they have given up on class and therefore don't mind when someone they're associating with is poor.

I've never befriended someone from the city, though. The people who are friendly with me at the transit center all have some major life problem, be it heroin addiction, autism, or just a generally disorganized life.

I can make higher functioning friends, but the poverty usually causes some friction. They'll have to buy me tickets if I'm to go out with them, and when they all get takeout I don't order anything. Sometimes they ask what my hobbies are and, despite having a personality, my answers are really bland because I can only do what I can afford.

I'm so lonely. 95% of my waking life is spent alone, and that is unhealthy.
