(TL;DR version further down)
So recently I wiped out most of my social medias from my phone, such as snapchat, instagram, tinder and whatsapp, due to me being more and more dissatisfied with the direction the apps are going with, and also due to me being sick and tired of spending so much time on those brainrot platforms. I also got tired of people backstabbing me and behaving like idiots, fake friends, toxicity on those platforms and the FOMO caused by me watching through other peoples stories.
I have started to notice some positive effects of getting rid of those apps, and I dont regret deleting them. However, things starts to get much lonelier for me. I lost contact with some of the few good people on snapchat, and I cannot see what people in the student group chat is talking about or planning to do now. I also struggle to find places to meet new people online now, because I deleted tinder and omegle text version is shut down. And also I dont have any new lectures at uni in the coming weeks, only exams. I moved out from my parents in August, and have less and less contact with them. At my part time job I barely have time to talk to coworkers, besides saying hi and discussing our task roles, most of the time they mind their own business, and I never talk to them besides when I have the shift. I have considered visiting campus more often and try to introduce myself and talk to other students, but I am not comfortable with stepping out of my comfort zone, so I might just drop those plans.
So I wondered if anyone here is willing to be online friends with me on discord, where we can introduce ourselves to each other and just talk about any topics that comes to our minds. If youre interested, just send me a PM!
TL;DR: Deleted social media (not discord) due to several reasons, dont regret it, but starts to get more lonely as time goes, seeks new people to chat with on Discord.
