From what I hear from other people from similar situations, you should leave that place. I know it's easier said than done, especially because new jobs aren't found on short notice, or might not even be available. but I hope things go better for you.

>Mid 20s
>Had a small but workable amount of weeb friends in high school, very few normie friends, lots of online friends with similar interests
>Introvert, don't make any more on college
>Some drama going on with my real life friend circle that I ultimately wasn't part of
>Eventually everyone just ends up splitting off quietly and cutting off contact with one another, lose contact with my only rl friends
>Now I only have online friends and no real means to make more

It's not like I'm anxious or socially retarded or anything but there's absolutely something I don't get. Every time I talk to a stranger, similar interest or not, I always hold up the conversation perfectly fine. People always talk about making friends at cons, but I always went with friends so every casual conversation I had with a stranger chalked up to just that and nothing more.

I've never cosplayed and I have no idea how you can suddenly just form a friendship with a stranger you meet for one weekend without seeming like a weirdo, or coming off too strongly. It's not like you have a regular excuse to meet off a single conversation from what I understand.

Also sucks I can't even really attend cons anymore anyway. Being mid 20s and lonely sucks. I have my online friends and I love them so much but it can only stave off the isolation for so long.
