I have one in real life friend. He is a good friend.
I’ve met some women on bumble I’ve become friends with over the last 6 months. They know I’m schizo and don’t care. We hang out, talk on the phone, WhatsApp all the time. There is a little flirty, teasing, complimentary vibe sometimes, lol.
I spent over a decade with almost no social life. No friends, no gf, a had a few jobs on and off but nothing long term other than my freelance computer work, not much of a life for 17 years. But I started feeling better in my 40s, I’m 44 now, so I joined Bumble and am putting myself out there. I got a job as a delivery driver and am now one of their best employees.
There is an expression someone in your situation may benefit from" fake it till you make it". That means if you don’t feel like socializing, put yourself out there, outside your comfort zone, you will adapt, you’ll meet some cool people (and some asses). Just takes time and effort.
