i’ve thought about this a lot and i think the easiest way to meet new people organically is to join communities or become a regular somewhere! i have yet to achieve this myself so i can’t give any significant advice but fingers crossed for both of us!!

Whether it's a coffees shop, a gym, or maybe some organization's events, if you're always there people will eventually notice and start reaching out to you

try going to a local library once a week, or a gym, a museum, a thrift store, cafe, etc. if you find you like the vibe of a certain place, hang out there and be pleasant with the employees, after a while, they will remember you and will likely chat with you
this is more of a method to get used to talking to people, of course an employee is getting paid to talk to you, but in my own experience, i love taking to regulars!

a coffee shop, running club, pottery class, karaoke night etc.
Whatever thing ur into. Go to places where you can do that thing regularly.
Eventally and usually pretty organically you will begin to make friends with people. People who you probably have alot in common with because you already have a shared interest. Yay!
I moved to a new state about a year ago knowing no one. I joined an improv class and now I have a whole network of people that I never expected to know. From that network you'll meet other people and so and so on.

as i’m moving through life and moving through different relationships i’ve realised that i really just crave meaningful connection. no matter under what label or circumstance i meet someone, i want to feel like i matter.
i feel, sometimes, so hopeless in this goal of making meaningful connections bc so many people that ive been friends with have turned out to be worse people than i thought them to be. whether its them changing into someone i don’t recognise, or showing true colours when we discuss values, i just am at a point where i really struggle to form relationships.
but theres a few people in my life who i just have to think about and immediately my mind lights up!
i find that i can have a bit of an all or nothing attitude. that is, i had a shit day therefore i’ve always had shit days and will forever have shit days, or like now, i struggle making meaningful connections therefore none of my connections have been, are, or will ever be meaningful
maybe it’s just past 9pm and i should go sleep…

are people jumping on a depression trend, or have we created such a harsh environment for people to live in and navigate that they seek relief from media to cope with issues they have no power over?

as much as i hate this answer, going outside and strolling around always makes me feel better! if i can’t do that opening a window and getting some light in is also a good help!
