I think this comment explains why making friends post-high school has never worked for me. You’re just expected to meet a random person and make some sort of connection with them right away and/or find a way to keep in contact with them
I know people who are able to do this without trying and I’m so jealous
This is one of my biggest issues. I have a D&D friend who I’ve known for over 2 years and he’s starting to show hints of chuddery. It’s really difficult for me to ignore and it’s making me like him a lot less as a person.
But what am I supposed to do? It’s difficult just to meet strangers and for a connection to develop. Expecting they’re on the same page as you politically on top of that is almost never going to happen.

Even worse - you make a connection with some you think is cool then you find out afterwards they’re a chud.
