Hi everyone! I’m Felipe, 27, from Brazil. I work with data and I’ve been working from home for a while now. The problem is that I live in a small city and I don’t really have friends around here, which makes me feel quite lonely sometimes.
I enjoy nerdy things like Star Wars, The Lord of the Rings, board games, Dungeons & Dragons, podcasts, and geek culture in general. But since most of my interactions are online, I don’t really know how to take the first step to connect with new people.
My question is:
What are some practical ways or strategies to improve my social skills to start conversations, make friends online, and maybe even bring those connections to real life?
