"How do I find friends?" is the most common question German influencers get asked on social media. Loneliness has become a pressing issue in Germany, with far-reaching consequences.
How old are, if I may ask? I haven’t made a whole bunch of new friends for quite some time now, but that’s fairly normal once you’ve become a wageslave. I just don’t have the mental strength for the upkeep of new friendships.
Magic the Gathering is on the rise again, through which I could at least maintain some meetings with cool colleagues from work. So that’s cool I guess.
Let’s just say I’m long out of college/uni. IMO, it’s one thing to keep to old friendships if at least some of them are local, but if pretty much all of them live far enough away that they need to stay the night to visit, that’s a big issue and more socially apt people will probably do something about it.
I do have a lot of handicaps, though (shy, generally bad at socializing, several chronic illnesses that get in the way, very poor), so I’m maybe not that representative for the experience of the average person in Germany.
