I’m 20 and I just want to go out and meet new people. I don’t know what to do or where to go I never really leave my house but for work, but I would really like if I could meet people but I don’t know how to get started. I feel as if I try to do anything as a man I might get looked down on or looked at like I’m weird, so if I could get suggestions from other guys I would be very appreciative.
How do I go out and meet new people?

Go to places where people do what you like to do. Take a class. Volunteer. Find a comfortable place and visit often and notice the people who do the same and make conversation. Start a game night with a couple of friends and have them invite a couple of friends. Friends-in-law are mostly already vetted, so you might find someone you click with.
Figure out what you like and then join a group that does that. There are groups out there for literally every sport, hobby or special interest.
First, stop caring how you look or how others will look at you. Do you like riding a bicycle? Look for clubs that do that? Hang out with people from work? Dont like them? Get a job somewhere with people your age one day a week only. Work 4 hours. Get to know them. Metroparks great way to meet people. Do volunteer work as well. Once you turn 21 go to the bar even if you dont drink and just strike up conversation with people. Its the easiest thing to do once you do it enough times. And remember if you look like a fool thats good because you can correct it and after all they are only strangers after all so who cares.
Echoing what everyone else is saying. What are you hobbies and interests and search for events in your area that host those events.
Also, would recommend going to shops that sell things related to your hobby. Just talking to the people that work at comic and games shops have introduced me to things I would have never discovered and met people i would never meet iny normal day to day.
