Why is it hard to find a new group these days?

Lately, I've been faced with that big problem of adulthood finally starting around 20 or 21y. And so I don't usually have much time to get involved, and neither do my friends.

I remember we'd spend a lot of time on Discord playing basic things like Stardew, Minecraft, and other games, just chatting quietly.

The hard part these days is finding a group that does this kind of thing, maybe because of all the weight of college or something like that. But it seems impossible; it's kind of become harder to make friends in that sense.

I don't know if it's just me feeling this way or if it's actually more complicated than it used to be.

Have you tried dating apps ?

By age 30, many people will only have up to 5 close friends, if any.

Dont mind the phenomenal mystique above. He means that by the age of 30 you will have plenty of opposite sex friends, likely above 5

Put yourself out there with more posts looking for people? Maybe join some LFG servers too - I've considered doing the same as of recent honestly.

There's a few different options if you really want to find some people, although not all easy and fast.

Welcome to adulthood. Where if you don't have kids, your only friends/company may be co-workers.

Sorry but 30 is not adulthood yet. Give it another 10 years and it starts somewhere in the 40s, 50s and 60s

"I don't play kid's games", red flag.
Catch me on Stardew and Hello Kitty Island Adventure, helps expand my inner eye before jumping into the cess pool CS2 queue.

Maybe if you post less religious mumbo jumbo things can look really bright for you
