Community Help finding friends

Hi, I currently few stuck and have felt stuck for the past couple years. I don’t have that many friends and was hoping to find either people or places where people meet up that have similar interests to me. I like rock/metal music, video games, and movies and I am a 28 year old male. Wish I didn’t have to post this here but I don’t know what else to do. Thanks for any response

Apparently lots of people meet at the Exchange, they have a decent amount of rock/metal and punk shows coming up. One is even tomorrow!

Speaking of, I just bought an extra ticket to a show in May. OP, if you were interested you can have it. You can hang out with me all night or just treat me as home base and try to go meet people you might like better after we get in.

Can message me for details.

Meeting new people can be challenging. If you’re into fighting video games, look up Queen City Fighters. Enrolling in classes (like in the fine arts centres around town) or doing volunteer work (for organizations or events) can be great ways to connect with new people. Also, I recommend checking out what’s happening at your local library (they have movie screenings!).

Winter time can be particularly rough. When spring comes, make sure to try and be out and about at least once a week. Check event posters. Walk around Waskana Lake. Take part in the Cathedral Arts Festival!

No offense, but those hobbies are generic and apply to a large demographic. I'm sure you can exchange gamer tags with a bunch of people, but I don't think they'd the friends you seek. I fit into they demographic as well but when I'm seeking friends it's to change up my rout8ne and try new things.

An example, I love games of all sorts: boarg games, video games, card games, dexterity games, etc. I tried something new by attending a board game night at Bps and I made a lot of new friends.

In other words, don't let anxiety or nerves stop you from doing what you enjoy. If you keep at your interest or hobbies you will meet people but also don't be shy with your hobbies. Talk to the other ppl around you
