    How do I become social again at 40?

    I'm a single m without friends. I've worked so much to achieve financial success that I have nothing really to show for it. Now, I'm that weird guy who doesn't converse well at meet ups.

    How do you become social again? I don't drink, don't do drugs, and am a big-time adrenaline junkie. Everything I enjoy people are afraid of or is simply a solo sport.

    How do I make friends at this point in life?

    Ever since the covid hoax I stopped interacting with the goyim cattle. I just look through them and pretend they don't exist. I don't even greet them or acknowledge their presence. I'm not staring either, I'm just looking straight through them as if they weren't there.
    My life has significantly improved. I am at peace

    Ive never had an issue with chiling in person. Best I can say is be yourself.

    You may need to work on yourself and grow. Its worth it but it takes effort and time.
    >>
    >>35050745
    Yeah, but how do you do that without partaking in alcohol and drugs? I can't find a single social event that doesn't require at least 1 of those to socialize. And I don't want to do that.

    I don't know how to grow into a social person. Being myself hasn't worked (funny not funny).

    Partake in your hobbies. I am often approached by girls and if im into her just walk over and chat to see if we click.

    If you don't drink, enjoy being absolutely alone for the rest of your life. Autistic idiot.

    I dont:
    >have tattoos/piercings
    >drink
    >drugs
    >listen to rap, edm, country, top pop slop, only rock and things from the 80s that remind me of a world this is not
    >watch basically anything anymore
    >play anything anymore
    >have the covid shot

    >>35050744
    yes. except for the improved and at peace part. i miss people and the world i knew. i dont know where my people who didn't take it and are still fully human are.

    OP you got the adrenaline junkie and being well-off with money things, at least. What are we talkin, skydiving? Swimming with sharks? Motorcycle without a helmet? I feel like these things would make you interesting and give cool stories to talk bout.

    You sound reasonable except again for the no-drinking part. What the fuck is wrong with you people

    First 3 yes, next 3 no, and no, I will never get anything the government tells me to. Especially if it's free. I've never been able to get to an EDM event but Electric Daisy and Burning man is on the list. The problem is, every time they come around, I have a major project I must finish and don't have time. I'm financially free, but I still have responsibilities. But those are things I want to do.

    Yes, skydiving, motorcycles at 180+, I am building a 240Z right now for a trip I want to take across the Americas, I'll travel pretty much anywhere even if I'm told it's dangerous, and I love to meet people in other countries. Food and ancient history are some of my favorite things to find.

    Here is something else I've noticed. I have never been able to successfully walk up to someone and talk to anyone in the US. Even if it is as simple as asking directions to "such and such" location, I've noticed people look at me weird or just tell me to piss off in any of the creative ways they can muster. But in literally any other country I've been to, I can walk up to almost anyone and talk to them. Even if small talk doesn't turn into anything more, I just find it much easier to say hello and goodbye. Like being foreign gives me a pass on whatever it is that people reject about me in the US. So, I've been able to talk to people about culture, food, entertainment, etc. I really enjoy learning things about people, too. But so far, nothing really heads towards parties, friends, adventures, I still have to put real work into finding those.

    >>35051764
    Yes, exactly this is what I run into whenever I'm trying to be social in the US. I just wish I didn't have to leave the country to stop feeling so alone.
