Okay so I graduated recently from HS and the last few months I've realized that I've just had nothing to do and have ended up bored with my own existence. I desperately need something low to no cost to do that'll let me socialize with people, since I graduated before my class and the people I can actually interact with is extremely limited because I've become very aware of which friendships were kept due to proximity rather than connection. I have like 3 people to talk to and I don't know what to do with myself, please help.

If you are interested left-leaning in the political spectrum, I can definitely find volunteer opportunities for you where there are young people also present. DM me - you or anyone else interested that lives in Collin county!

I need advice for this too. I like going to the library or gym, but they close really early on the weekends. I wanna meet people, but I’m not sure how. I hate Christianity because of my upbringing, so church is not an option for me (it’s fine if other people like it, it’s just really not for me bc trauma). I’m thinking about looking into volunteering, gig work, social clubs, or hobbies, but it’s hard when there are so few third places and everything is far away (not at a scale that encourages meeting people).

Volunteer somewhere. It will look good o. Your resume, you will meet people with similar interests, and it will get you out of the house. Join a book club at the library. Take a class with Parks and Rec.

This - Plano has a great program (be patient getting enrolled) that has so many amazing opportunities to help, meet people, and learn.
Search for “VIP is the central office for volunteer opportunities with the City of Plano. We connect individuals wanting to serve with departments seeking volunteers. Learn more about the VIP program.”

Do you read books? You are focused on immediate things. Reading gives you continuity over time. I try to read a couple of books a month

Do you like chess? There are some nice chess clubs around.

Volunteer! Nothing will make you feel better. Animal shelter, food pantry, museum, library. Just pick what interests you. you'll never feel better about yourself.

Check planopacers.org. Low annual fee, monthly races and also free addition meetups each month for fun running/training activities. You can volunteer at events or just show up. The same folks go regularly which helps build community.

My honest advice is to seek Christ and invite Him into your life.
Jesus said
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
Matthew 11:28-30

Get a job, go to college or trade school, sign up for the military. If you don't have anything to do, it's because this is how you have chosen to live.

I already have a job and am in college, but no one is my age at my job and I have to take online classes.

Club sports are a great way to meet people. See if there are any FB groups or rec center team sports available to sign up for

Go to Madness Comics & Games and see if you can join a D&D campaign or a group playing board games. There are also some great book clubs that meet in Plano.

Join a church! Great way to socialize and find activities to do.

Make music. Get a digital audio program like Bitwig, Ableton, or FL Studio. Great for boredom. It's a satisfying and cheap hobby that can be done from home.
