I am testing out some friend making applications. Have you tried any?
Off of google I found one, I will try out for a week at least.
It is called
Patook
So the user interface is horrible. But still manageable. I filled out my profile, they have a reward system for you.
Some people already like me and I liked some too. Lots of couples looking to meet other couples for activities (non sexual). It is supposed to be a platonic friendship making application.
I would like to meet some people from my town honestly, women my age who actually like to go out by themselves.
My friends all have kids and the rest of my friends are actually broke. They do not initiate activities, I do most of the time. People here are so boring…
I actually tried it months ago but then got paranoid and deleted it. I was looking for male acquaintances but then someone said something to me that made me paranoid about meeting people online.
I am trying out a new application exclusively for women, it is called Hey Vina! you need Facebook to log in though. Seems nice by far. I will keep you posted.
I find the smaller friend apps have no one in my area and dating apps people want to date or hook up. I wish I had a male friend who liked to go fishing and camping. And watching hockey. That would be sweet
Depends on how you meet, who you meet. Usually people have very good instinct in these things. When you feel something is off, it usually is very visible and you can tell immediately, trust yourself.
Also good planning on thinking far helps. Such as meeting in a very public place at least 3 x when you have a date. Add them on Facebook or Instagram. Check and google them. You know, the basics
Do you think it is much safer to be with someone from the club? And also always make sure the person is very clean, well groomed, looks like without any freakish disease etc. Know how many partners they have had… all these details before committing to someone.
I downloaded it as I said in the other thread. I think it reinforced the fact for me that outside of this forum I’m not really interested in making friends.
I wound up becoming to good of friends with my coworkers already. It really wasn’t part of the plan. My BPD makes getting to know people a pain because I’ll wind up disliking them for such minimal reasons at times and it’s hard to maintain respect. That combined with thought broadcasting delusions makes it super uncomfortable to be around folk in that state.
I think in the end though. I will just get over all of it and become desensitized to who people are and what they do with themselves. It’ll take a mixture of things. Me being more content and stable in my home life… also getting my social expectations right… and just really gaining a stronger sense of empowerment via independence with that option to just consider as something that’s not a threat nor anything to be preoccupied with.
People like shooting ■■■■… it’s still something I’m not used.
