Seriously how do you meet new people after college?

r/

I have remote work and I have no idea where to meet people to make friends. No one talks much in the gym, it’s just small talk, then people get to their workouts and leave, most people say they’re busy when asked to hangout and are often uninterested and flaky to invites often reject it. Can say this for hobby classes too, people will talk a bit here and there but it doesn’t form into anything deeper. What else is there besides joining classes for hobbies in hoping maybe you find some friends? Even there people just take their classes and leave, there isn’t much socializing

    Go to your local library and community centre. See what groups, clubs, activities and events are available in your area. Join the ones that you find interesting.

    You really don’t, that’s kind of adulthood. Everyone has their own lives. There’s work, if you have a hobby like running, you can join a club, meetups, etc. Most of the “friends” I have met in adulthood are more like acquaintances I superficially know.

    I think it depends on the classes. I take a lot of art classes and have made some great friends there. Same with a hiking club I joined a few years ago. But you can also make friends at church or volunteering.
