Honestly I’m not a very social person, I do love my own space and time to myself…possibly down the autism. However I haven’t properly made a new friend in ages, I tried last year by taking part in a introduction DnD session however the place that ran it shut down and never got the courage to push myself to find people who are into it (fear that they are mid campaign/I won’t know enough).
I’m very much a nerd and a gamer, but I’ve never really had anyone to talk to/hang out with similar interests and with the huge gap in social interactions (Covid and loss of mum didn’t help), the only social interaction I’ve really had is with my partner, my dad and a work colleague.
So all in all, I feel like it’s a huge jump to put myself out there to try to talk to someone…but I’m getting to the point that I’m starting to feel lonely and I need to start reaching out to likeminded people and start making some friends…is there anywhere I can start online or with games as I have literally no idea where to start locally (and could find it overstimulating/too much to take in.)
