Hyia! <3

This is a topic which has been a big issue in my life for the past years, so I wanted to start a thread for advice on making friendships, specifically for more nerdy trans people, any advice is welcome! <3, maintaining friendships is just as important as making them!, just don’t drop the obvious like “join groups related to your interests”, unless you want to make people aware of any.

bonus points if you have advice for people with strong sensory issues(that would be me ;-;) or social anxiety, who are unable to interact properly in groups

    Things I’ve done recently was picking up an activity because I was spiraling between work, sleep, and video games constantly. I play roller derby on a women’s flat track team and have been connecting well with others there. I also have a Lex account and will reach out to others if they’d like to meet up for coffee. Safe, low energy place (depending on the cafe), and hopefully not too crowded or overstimulating. There’s also Discord and have had luck finding locals through there, but majority has been through Lex.
