Dear Hatata

I get that large social groups can be unfulfilling especially if they involve alcohol & weed.

What are your hobbies & interests? That is the place where you will find people who you at least have one thing in common.

Doing voluntary work is a good way to make deeper connections, do something for others or the environment can be very satisfying.

I have casual acquaintances & casual friends  & a couple of friends with whom I have a strong heart connection most if not all do not come from my childhood.

I wish you all the best in your search for good companions

Roberta
