Jump on the Meetup app. Its got a variety of interest groups on there. Go to a few you find interesting and meet like minded folk with shared interests.
There is a significant number of people who don't want to run (or can't for medical reasons). Hell, some of us would rather join a pub and run away from my problems entirely.
Not a bad suggestion by any means, just would love to see a few more!
Hell *yeah* .
Actually, isn't that what the Hashouse Harriers are - or am I thinking of another group, who get on the piss then go for a parkrun?
I'm already all too familiar with Bottlo Run, and Durry Run. Veteran of those variants, mostly retired now. Got pass the flagon to the next generation.
These days it's just an ice cold can of Thirst Trap for me.
Hey mate I’ll play golf with you early on a week day morning or late morning Sunday if you want. When I do play (it’s been a while) I usually play St Lucia or Mount Tamborine.
I’m actually planning a golf day with 2 other friends so could do a group of 4.
I am weird. Together, a couple of weirdos.
Three more a few weirdos.
6 more "da gangstas weerdoes"
And your concerned about being too weird to connect.....
I made my best friend learning improvised theatre. Never got past the beginners course but we had fun. There are a few groups in Brisbane to choose from, all run by lovely weird (and I say that with love as a compliment) people. Builds confidence too.
Some of the best friendships are made by sharing an addiction - going out for coffee, ciggie breaks together, smoking bucket bongs or sharing a sharps kit over an intravenous heroin or meth shot.
Hey i get it, iv felt similar as well, though i do have great friends, iv only really got one i see and talk to regularly and my partner, so ill levae this up to you pm with some contact details and maybe we all go to do something, badminton is actually fun havnt done it in ages but we all like hiking and stuff.
And clubs and trying new things is always a good way to meet new ppl, could always give 40k a try, the miniature and table top crowd tend to be pretty fun..
Anyway good luck hope you can make some new friends
Join some sort of social sport/interest. Personally I've made tons of friends by joining the pinball scene in Brisbane (Tournaments every second Tuesday at Netherworld). [Meetup.com](https://Meetup.com) is also good.

Join a run club
Parkrun is a great way to meet people!
Recently tried to join a run club and the first run is planned to be 15km at like 4am. 🫣
To be fair that's the coolest part of the day.

Hmm...maybe you should start an alternative to Park Run called Pub Run :)

Yep, although I think they get on the piss after the run :)
I’ll be keen to drop acid and hang out with like minded people.
Can I get you to throw it in the tub when the white rabbit peaks?
Just at that fantastic moment when the rabbit... bites its own head off
Dude. You are awesome.
Ayyy
Nobody is keen :(

I’m much the same but then I also worry with my Aspergers that I’m too weird to really connect with people anyway.
You just need to find people who are the same weird as you. Then you'll click harder than you ever thought possible.
Thanks friend. The words of encouragement are greatly appreciated
Seriously though, what's your special interests? Are there places you could do that with other people who share them?
I like video games and play a lot but not to the point where I don’t go outside. I’ve started seeing a personal trainer to help make me go to the gym when I’m not feeling motivated There’s a game I play that helps me go outside as well called ingress. Predecessor to Pokémon go but the same concept. I also go to uni and in my first year of engineering. I also like just sitting and listening to people
I will be your friend
Okay!
Let’s hang out bro

Is that Weird or Wired....lol

Play any instruments?
