No gf, no friends, it's hard to meet new people. Tinder and other apps don't work. Idk even if I travel somewhere I'm alone

You just better get used to it. When I was a teen people tell you that I'll come, don't rush things... Almost 20 years later and things are worse than ever.

"But get a hobby!" Guys, you can't just fake interest in something just to know people. Some of us just DON'T want interesting lives, I just like gaming and that isolation it gave up only made things worse. Especially where I live where no adult has these type of hobbies

You can fake a lot of interests. I often faked interest in the state of the company I was working for, in exchange for money. I faked interest in random topics to get a degree. If faking interest in your mineral collection gets me someone to listen to my problems, that is a good exchange in my book. And who knows, maybe I learn some cool mineral fact.
