Hi. I’m new. My name is Clover but people call me Clove. I’m 24 and I’m currently writing my first novel.You are not the only socially awkward person out there. I'm 35 and still have problems meeting new people and making friends. I wish it was as easy as it was when I was a kid. "I like animals. You like animals. Let's be friends!" But, sadly, being an adult messes with that simplicity.
I love getting to know new people, but I’m really bad at it.

Also, what kind of book are you writing? I try to write, but for some reason when I get to page 50-70, another idea hits, and I start writing a new story altogether. It can be very frustrating sometimes.
So where are you from? I from Northern California. :)
i'm from the south :D!!
I'm 55 & I still have trouble making friends. It seams like the older I get, the harder it gets.

Hunting, not likely. RPG Conventions, possibly. It seems that most people my age already have all of their friends & they aren't looking to make any more.

Definitely. Making friends as an adult is definitely harder.
Young adult, like university, it is ok, because you can make friends with other people at university or clubbing or whatever it is young people do. But, when you are older, it's not easy to make friends. I was friendly with people at work, when I was working, but being friendly & being friends are two different things. Add a pandemic & being locked in my apartment for a year...well, now, it's basically impossible.
