Then dont, it should come naturally

i rarely meet someone i connect with. everyday interactions are built on fake interactions

Just talk about things you like , if you’re in school or work try to speak to them just small chat , then after a few times you’ll talk about more topics and more

maybe im saying bs rn but imo as long no one dislikes you, you are doing extremly good

same. I did almost make a friend 2 years ago but the guy was kinda weird tbh, so I just stopped messaging him. Haven't made a friend in over 10 years (excluding my ex)

The problem is that I'm writing my thesis so I'm 24/7 at home. I also just severely lack social skills so it's a complete shit show. Might be over for me tbh

Do you know where i can practice? I'm interested in meeting new people but don't want to go to bars / places that involve alcohol. I live in a small city that doesn't have that many activities for young adults.

Being here won't help ngl. On the internet you get most of the benefits that you get from social interactions, without the downsides (you don't need to take your time to pick out a certain outfit, you don't have to look good all the time etc)

If you have hobbies maybe in a craft class of it , if you like reading then library, fitness groups , workplaces , study places , if you have pets then pet meet ups , coffee shops , there’s board game clubs without alcohol, volunteering in places like shelters - communities etc.. , cultural events of music - open mic - festivals , markets .
I don’t know what else
