I’m struggling to figure out how to make friends without having Instagram or any other social media. I have discord but don’t use it much. I see all my acquaintances in discord channels and sharing Instagram posts and stuff. It’s already hard for me to make friends, but I feel like not having any of the traditional social media means I’m not included in any of that stuff.

Do you just accept that Instagram and shit are the way people interact and use it?

    Interact with local people in your area or wherever you go.

    Write letters to your current friends if you know their mail address.

    Look at business cards from other people.

    If you have neighbors, get to know them.

    These are some ideas I came up with for you.

      Interacting with local people is definitely a good one. If there are any community events, especially recurrent ones, go there!
