I’m having trouble meeting new people even in the hobbies I participate in regularly. I’m friendly with some people but not really friends I spend time with outside of the hobbies. I work remote and my work does have events sometimes. What am I doing wrong?

Get a cat or a dog. You learn to love them so much that you stop caring if you have a human friend or not. Because you will have the best friend in the world.

It’s hard to meet friends, unless you have similar world views/values. Base makes that easier. I made a few friends through that.

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills.

I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

It doesn't help that he always presents outdated ideas and throws UX out the window. I know that I know my stuff and keep up with best practices.
