Hi, I'm 22 yo guy moving from Eastern Europe to West Coast to start a full time job. I'm pretty autistic with people, therefore I don't have many friends except for a few from high school and middle school. Now that I move to literally opposite side of the world, I won't be able to meet or play video games with them anymore, because of the time difference.

I don't know anyone in America and from my own experience with work I doubt that I will find a good friend at workplace. To make the matters worse I don't even have any hobbies and I will be living in pretty much desolate area about 25km away from Seattle.

How do I make friends /adv/?

US Diversity lottery (DV) opens in October.

Without that, you'd either need to have a lot of money or have a company sponsor you (not easy).

Look on couchsurfing/meetup or language exchanges in the area you're moving to, there will be people at these things who are interested in travelling so you'll have a talking point answering questions about your country.

Search international events in your city on facebook. Some meetings for foreign strangers to socialize and meet or simply some parties and hobby, sport events.

You'll probably make friends at work. Just be friendly to people. Your accent alone will be interesting to people. So if you're friendly and open people will talk to you

Dude, I literally have written that I'm so autistic I havent made a friend at university, let alone at work. If I were an outgoing person, I wouldn't have asked for anyone's help.

Moreover, I doubt that 30+ yo people at my work will want to hang out with a kid like me.

There will probably be people your age at your job. That or even if they are 30+ you'll probably befriend them. I'm 26 and a lot of my co-workers are 35+ and we all have common interests and get along fine
