I've been actively looking for irl friends since middle school and haven't had any success. I seem invisible to people and even if I force others to talk to me, they'll try to get out of the conversation as quickly as possible. Even if I manage to keep somepony's attention, he'll quickly forget about me or avoid further meetings.
Obviously, as times goes on, it becomes more and more difficult to find a friend. I'm honestly losing hope. Most people find their social circle in high school or in the worst case scenario in college, but I haven't managed to do that. Sometimes you'll find people finding friends at work, but that obviously doesn't apply to me. I tried to go to public events, conventions and even joining clubs, but everywhere I go, I'm not welcome. Clubs would make the most sense, because you have to socialize with the people regularly, but almost every club in my city is filled with elderly and I'd prefer a friend roughly my age. It seems like everypony develops their social circle before they finish education and in rare cases they find friends at work.
Now the coronavirus situation makes things even worse, because there are no public events and most groups meet online (and they temporarily don't really recruit people). How am I supposed to find a friend? The situation feels hopeless…
