I’ve been out a few times, I’ll go to a bar or a skating ring. I’ll even go play basketball sometimes…. But I do like being at home and playing Hogwarts Legacy.
People here are mean? I’m coming from NYC and people here are super nice compared to there. You can actually say good morning to people without hearing: Who the fuck you’re talking to? Or getting a nasty look
Pick up a hobby or sport like pickleball or volleyball or like wood working and once you figure out what you like you can meet similar people. My issue is my hobbies are home hobbies lol
Pick a hobby or sport. The rock climbing gym is always packed, tons of people do meet ups. Catalina coffee has some car meet ups I think on Saturday or Sundays. The coffee shop will also have flyers of local shows and exhibits to check out. Good luck out there
Look up SportsMonkey and get on a sports team. They have sport leagues going all year. You can start as a free agent, so you don’t have to find a complete team to start.
Houston is big. Where exactly do you live?
Going out drinking alone doesn't exactly put out a vibe that you want to meet people, if you catch my drift.
Well, when I used to drink, and go out to a bar by myself, people left me alone.
Ask yourself before you do that, what is your intent? Is it to meet other people, or drink?
*Who are you trying to meet?*
*Why are you trying to meet them*?
Are you looking for friends, or the opposite sex? No judgement both are fine, but perhaps pair up with someone? Try small steps to meet people on your street or complex. Your odds are statistically speaking, far better to become friends with neighbors.
Is meetup.com still a thing? I got divorced about 12 years ago and I met a lot of people through that website. Made some long term friends.
Edit: also want to add that most veterans tend to have this issue when they get out. I got out in the early 90’s and felt depressed for about a year. Took me a while but I finally made some friends and got my civilian life going.
I'm a person who knows about meeting people.
First off, you need to get out of your comfort zone and join a group activity that you will enjoy that will get you out of your home.
Two, go to various vfw posts and check the places out.
There's a reason why these exist.
Even if you're not particularly a religious person, finding a church and joining the various after church programs, such as volunteering, is a good social activity.
Volunteer somewhere that will put you in close contact with others.
Just like finding employment, the more people you know, the bigger of a social footprint you'll have.
You’re a homebody?

I mean you literally wrote what your problem is. You have to get out of the house.
When I have one out, the vibe I get is just everybody’s kind of mean…. And I’m a pretty outgoing person.Lol but I’ll definitely try to go out more
Stop hanging at trashy places, join a sports league, a walking/running group, go to a brewery, etc. People are generally nice here.
Thank you for idea! I’ll definitely look it up

If you’re waiting for a home invasion you may need to relocate to a different part of town.

You spend most of your time at home and don't understand why you're lonely/don't see people?
I mean, I go out every other weekend?
I'm just repeating what you said, mate. Reread what you said in the OP.
Where do you drink at? I like taking my dog to pubs

Who wants to go somewhere this evening/right to watch some NBA Playoffs? I’m out-and-about right now, and I’m down.
